“Listening to Trump’s speech after Mark Carney’s was like going from Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture to a child playing a kazoo in your face when you have a migraine.”
Carney’s historic declaration of resistance vs. Trump’s ramblings of an overgrown toddler https://t.co/DVBJnrFj7F
Remarkable speech from @MarkJCarney, urging allies to stop playing along with great-power intimidation. Compliance won’t buy safety, he warns. Stop appeasing bullies. Carney draws applause.
Citing Václav Havel, he says it’s "time for companies and countries to take their signs down." Under communism, ordinary people displayed slogans like "Workers of the world, unite!" even when they didn’t believe them, rituals of compliance meant to avoid trouble. Coercion, Havel argued, wasn’t always enforced through violence, but through quiet, everyday participation in a lie.
Carney receives a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
Extraordinary to see Canada asserting this kind of moral and strategic leadership, something we haven’t witnessed on the world stage in decades, especially at a moment when we have so much to lose if Trump chooses retaliation.
If you haven't watched Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today in full, you are missing out. This is why he is the Prime Minister. Why he won. Why he will win again.
PM Carney has raised the bar on what a PM should be. It makes it virtually impossible to accept or tolerate, even in imagination, having a PM like Poilievre or Ford. Mark Carney is a generational and historic talent. Anything less would be an existential tragedy.
Prime Minister Mark Carney gave one of the most powerful speeches I have heard in a long time.
Scary. But truthful.
Time to wake up now Canada. We are about to go through some heavy shit.
Let's all give Canadian prime minister Mark Carney a round of applause for that AAA speech today.
I'm a Conservative, but I'm glad that we have a competent prime minister.
This is the best speech by a world leader that I have read in a very long time. More later, but for now, just read what @MarkJCarney has to say. Rhetorically, at least, he has met the geopolitical moment.

@robertoah hola, en referencia a los despachos de cobro, hay uno que me ha molestado por meses, me llaman y mandan mensajes de amenazas diario por una deuda que no es mía, el deudor, que no conozco, dió mi teléfono.
Hasta SMS flash me mandan.
¿Qué puedo hacer?
While Trump was golfing this weekend and Ted Cruz was vacationing in Greece, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum quietly sent rescue teams to help with the Texas floods.
Despite the racist and sexist attacks from weak men, she still did the right thing. That's leadership.
Ella es Ximena Pichel (@ximena_pichel). Es la persona que agredió al policía de la CDMX en la colonia Condesa. Le dijo negro, naco y perro (el mismo término que usó hace unos días @sabinaberman contra sus críticos).
Tengamos cuidado en no incitar al odio contra nadie, sugiero. Mucho cuidado. Este video es público, ella lo subió en Tik Tok. Pero junto con ello creo que es importante exhibir la prepotencia y la discriminación. Si hay un marco legal especifico, ella debe ser sancionada. Nada justifica lo que hizo aunque, como todos, tiene derecho a su defensa.
“¡Odio a los negros como tú!”, le grita una mujer a un policía en la colonia Condesa de la Ciudad de México. Personas con estas conductas racistas y miserables deben ser exhibidas para que no queden impunes y su familia sienta al menos vergüenza:
Yall were so offended at the idea of paying another US citizen's student loans. Now youre paying for an imaginary country's war.
Yall arent patriots, you just hate poor people
