It’s not the media’s job to translate what Carney meant to say.
If he’s going to be careless in his delivery then it’s on him to clarify.
Not the media. Not the PMO. Him.
If he doesn’t choose to do that, then I will take him at his word in the English language.
If Carney’s statement from today in regards to China was not intended in the way it was taken then it is on him to make a public statement to clarify.
Until then, I take him at his word in his native tongue.
UNREAL
Carney claims the BEIJING DICTATORSHIP is “much, much less” of a security risk than the UNITED STATES.
THE SAME regime that interferes in our elections, operates ILLIGAL police stations & engages in repression ON CANADIAN SOIL.
Beyond RECKLESS.
As this story makes clear, he was saying the US faces bigger security risks in dealing with China than Canada does -- NOT that the US is a bigger security risk to Canada than China.
Willfully inaccurate versions spread by Trump fanboys to the contrary. https://t.co/chGHm4RiVm
Mark Carney literally just stood at a microphone and claimed the UNITED STATES is a bigger national security threat to Canada than the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
China runs illegal police stations on our soil and our feds quietly buy up Chinese green sovereign bonds, the Carney Liberals are calling our closest democratic ally and neighbor the ultimate villain. The gaslighting is completely out of control.
Congratulations Canada, you’ve been sold to communists.
Carney just told Canadians that partnering with Communist China is far safer for their national security than staying close to the United States.
“In terms of the security risks of our partnership, they are much, much, much less than the security risks, for example, of the United States.”
He said this while heading to meet Xi Jinping.
🚨BREAKING: Carney claims the U.S. is a significantly greater national security threat to Canada than the Chinese Communist Party.
“In terms of the security risks for our partnership, they’re much much much less than the security risks, for example, of the United States.”
The Stellantis plant officially got sold off leaving workers with few options.
Don’t forget people like James Moore who last week encouraged Carney to wait another 2 years while our people are left empty handed.
Easy to preach patience when it’s not your paycheck on the line.
Americans don’t want tariffs. The polls and voters are clear. Do not make a deal with a repudiated and departing president that normalizes tariffs that Americans and Canadians don’t want. Do not put Canada at an economic disadvantage with a tariff-accepting deal.
@rupasubramanya Bold statement Rupa. Was this before or after you sprinted out of a hotel lobby the second someone challenged your inflammatory rhetoric in person?
