Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Canada’s premiers today in Ottawa with a focus to “come together and build.”
After the U.S. State Department confirmed that Alberta separatists met with the Trump administration, Carney said he expected the United States to always “respect Canadian sovereignty.”
The first ministers’ meeting comes as potential independence referendums in both Quebec and Alberta are being discussed in those provinces.
Quebec’s outgoing premier says most Quebecers don’t want to separate, but it’s up to them to decide.
Carney said he expected the United States to always “respect Canadian sovereignty.”
He’s expecting the cheeto to “respect” anything at all? Bold move, I wonder if it’ll pay off
I know this is just a message with “fuck off” undertones, but I might have used slightly stronger wording
Or better yet
I’d start cosying up to California.
This is exactly how Putin started his invasion of Ukraine. Fund some extremist groups, they start protesting for no reason, then the weapons come.
Putin’s traitors shot doen a ln international civil passenger airplane using Russian missiles and still nothing happened to stop it
Then the “training exercises” start next to the border, then the invasion starts.
To me it looks like they’re trying to make Alberta Canada’s Crimea.
It does have a significant American speaking population.
As a US citizen I also expect the US to respect Canadian sovereignty… also Greenland, Palestine, Venezuela, Ukraine, etc
As a Native American I have no faith in the US Government’s ability to respect sovereignty.
Respecting Canadian sovereignty begins with respecting Canada which he doesn’t.
Which you can apply to Trumps entire worldview. He doesn’t respect anything so he doesn’t respect the sovereignty of anything. He raped children and abducted a head of state, kills Americans, ignored the entire notion of law or rights and is actively trying to remove democracy as the means by which authority is granted. He respects nothing but his own desires, which he is a slave to.
Well, then. I guess Carney really is an idiot, then?
Really making it obvious that they’re copying the Putin playbook…
I think he probably believes this too, but even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t say otherwise as that would cause a huge panic.
A headline that reads to the effect of “Mark Carney believes that Canadian sovereignty is at risk from the US” would cause nothing but problems for us.
The fact that he is saying this means that he already believes that. There’d be no need to say it otherwise. He’s just being a proper diplomat by saying it diplomatically.
Hey Carney! We’ll trade you the NFC North for Alberta! (Totally not self-serving because I live in one of those states…)
Alberta is Canadian. We’re staying here.
If you wish to join Canada, there’s an immigration process.
Carney said he expected the United States to always “respect Canadian sovereignty.”
Naive or just wishful thinking.
Politics and messaging. He’s isn’t an idiot he’s not going to express his counter moves publicly.
