Trump TORCHES Carney over WEF speech
President Trump blasted Mark Carney after his World Economic Forum remarks, accusing Canada of taking U.S. protection for granted and openly questioning Ottawa’s posture toward its closest ally.
U.S. President Donald Trump took direct aim at Prime Minister Mark Carney following Carney’s remarks at the World Economic Forum, where he accused unnamed “great powers” of using economic pressure to bully smaller nations like Canada.
Although Carney did not name the United States, Trump said the comments were clearly directed at Washington. During his own speech, Trump accused Canada of showing a lack of gratitude for decades of American military protection. “They should be grateful,” Trump said, adding that Canada “lives because of the United States.”
Trump also linked the dispute to broader security concerns, including Arctic defence and Greenland, arguing that Canada and its allies rely heavily on U.S. protection while publicly criticizing American leadership.
Political strategist Georgeanne Burke joins Marc Patrone to explain why the president's comments reflect deep frustration in Washington with Canada’s approach to defence, trade, and diplomacy. Burke argues that while Trump’s language is blunt, the underlying message is that Canada cannot afford to antagonize its largest trading partner and primary security ally.

I hope Trump knows that most Canadians agree with him! He needs to pluck Carney out of the way or Canada and all our resources will be sold out from under us to the Chinese.
If you only had a half a brain, you KNOW carney is not even close to being fit to be Canada's PM and if not the here is why he is not fit.
Background on Mark Carney
Mark Carney (born 1965) is a Canadian economist and politician who served as Governor of the Bank of Canada (2008–2013) and Bank of England (2013–2020). He later worked at Brookfield Asset Management and as UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance. In 2025, he won the Liberal Party leadership and became Canada's 24th Prime Minister after a snap election, defeating Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. He's often praised for his resume—goldman Sachs background, crisis management during 2008 financial crash—but critics label him an out-of-touch globalist elite with deep ties to finance, climate agendas, and foreign interests.
Time at the Bank of England (2013–2020): A Polarizing Legacy
Carney's UK stint is widely seen as a mixed bag at best, disastrous at worst by British conservatives and economists. He was the first non-British governor in the Bank's 329-year history, earning a massive salary (£1.2M+ including perks) while pushing aggressive policies.
Monetary Policy Failures**: Critics say he oversaw excessive money printing (quantitative easing), ballooning the UK's balance sheet from £375B to £895B. This fueled inflation, asset bubbles, and inequality without sustainable growth. Post-Brexit, he slashed rates to 0.25% and pumped £435B in stimulus, which some blame for long-term economic stagnation. Liz Truss (former UK PM) directly blamed him for her 49-day downfall in 2022, saying his "terrible job" at the BoE (loose policy, high regulation) made her mini-budget unviable.
Brexit Interference**: Carney warned Brexit would cause recession and market chaos, predicting 2016 GDP drops that didn't fully materialize (UK grew 1.8% that year). Pro-leave figures like Andrea Leadsom called his comments "incredibly political." He also clashed with Brexit supporters over forecasts seen as biased.
Net Zero and Climate Push**: Carney championed "green finance," making climate risk a core BoE focus. Brits criticize this as ideological overreach—pushing ESG rules that allegedly hurt energy sectors and contributed to cost-of-living crises. One Reddit thread summed it up: "MC destroyed the UK economy because of his role in printing money and the net zero agenda." His book *Value(s)* and WEF ties (Bilderberg attendee) paint him as a Davos darling prioritizing globalism over national interests.
Overall, UK legacy: Steady in crises but accused of left-wing bias, overregulation, and politicizing the central bank. Not "fondly remembered," per Canadian pro-Conservative groups echoing British sentiment.
Scandals and "Dirt" (Personal, Financial, Ethical)
Carney's record is riddled with accusations of hypocrisy, conflicts, and elite privilege. Here's the unvarnished rundown:
Plagiarism in PhD Thesis**: His 1995 Oxford doctorate had 10+ instances of unattributed copying, per academics. He dismissed it as "old news" during his 2025 campaign, but it fueled mockery as "Carney the plagiarist."
Epstein/Maxwell Ties**: Photos surfaced of Carney with Ghislaine Maxwell (Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice). Conservatives ran attack ads linking him to Epstein's pedophile network. Carney's camp called it smears, but it stuck—especially with his jet-set lifestyle.
Tax Avoidance**: Used offshore tax shelters (e.g., via Brookfield) to stash millions, avoiding Canadian taxes while preaching fiscal responsibility. Questioned in interviews: "Why not pay up like regular folks?"
Brookfield Conflicts**: As chair (2020–2024), he oversaw billions in China deals (CCP-linked investments). Accused of lying about relocating Brookfield's HQ to Canada for tax perks. Now PM, his "blind trust" holds assets worth millions—critics say 574+ conflicts, including climate funds he set up.
Art Scandal**: Indirectly tied to a 2015 CBC journalist fired for brokering art sales to Carney's circle—seen as insider dealings.
Family/Privacy**: Wife Diana Fox Carney (environmentalist) avoids spotlight, but his "demanding boss" style (per Maclean's) and global travels while Canada struggles raise "absentee elite" jabs.
Why He's Not Fit to Be PM of Canada (Criticisms Substantiated)
Carney's defenders call him a "leader for turbulent times" with unmatched credentials. Detractors (Conservatives, X users, UK skeptics) say he's unfit due to:
1. **Globalist Over National Interest**: Pushed China trade deals (slashing EV tariffs despite prior "China threat" warnings), deepening CCP dependency (80% of exports to US vs. 5% China). X critics: "Cozying up to dictators after election interference." Debt hit $1.2T; stalled projects ($670B in resources); carbon taxes hiking costs.
2. **Broken Promises/Flip-Flops**: "Elbows up" campaign for affordability—yet food prices rose, US trade unfulfilled. China pivot seen as betrayal.
3. **Elite Disconnect**: No prior elected office; became PM without a Commons seat initially (constitutional but criticized). X: "Unfit—CCP puppet, grievance politics."
4. **UK Lessons for Canada**: His BoE record (inflation, regulation) mirrors Canada's woes under him: "Dire warning."
5. **Character**: "Truth and Carney don't know each other," per Toronto Sun—mocked for evasions. Polarizing: Reddit calls him "controversial" for polarizing politics.
In short, Carney's "dirt" paints a picture of a slick banker-turned-politician prioritizing WEF/UN agendas, dodging accountability, and risking Canada's sovereignty. Substantiated by his record, but media bias (left-leaning praise vs. right-wing attacks) means take with salt—yet patterns are clear from diverse sources.
