Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>11 minute interview between CNBC and Doug Ford and there is ALOT to unpack. The stupidity of the US commentators here talking to Doug Ford is just... 🤦♂️</p><p>Joe Kernen (sp) called Mark Carney, a former central banker, a “zealot”. A ZEALOT!? 😅 Because he believes in climate change apparently, or 'climate justice’ as he put it?</p><p>Obviously these fools still believe we can just burn down the planet and their investment portfolios will be just fine.</p><p>This was after there was sudden mass confusion on the American talking head side when Ford said Canada would get rid of all tariffs if the USA got rid of theres... obviously meaning the reciprocal tariffs Canada has put on, but apparently the talking heads thought he meant the tariffs Trump complains about (which by all accounts have never been applied)... which we should all know is just another smokescreen to Trump's actual intention, which is authoritarian, centralized control and manipulation of the market and thus economy of the United States and, in his hope, the world.</p><p>These are the same people who a year ago would have been cheerleading NAFTA/CUSMA... whose very purpose is tariff free trade.🤦♂️</p><p>Oh and "Joe" also tries to bait Ford into giving an opinion on Carney winning the election, Ford smartly avoids (as is Canadian political practice) much to Joe's chagrin.</p><p>Ford does an OK job overall here but I am saddened at the shot he takes at Mexico on "cheap parts" and talking about a "CUSA” deal without Mexico.</p><p>I don't understand Canada and Mexico's reluctance to work together through all this. There is obviously some sort of tension there that is not being communicated with the public of Canada, not sure about Mexico.</p><p>Also, if he thinks China is a bigger 'enemy' than the USA, he's fooling himself, but I suspect this is just the message he wants to portray to the Americans to try to get them to see reason.</p><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/02/trump-tariffs-live-updates.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cnbc.com/2025/04/02/trump-tari</span><span class="invisible">ffs-live-updates.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CdnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CNBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CNBC</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elxn45</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/OnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/TheAmericanFascsist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheAmericanFascsist</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>China</span></a></p>
