CARNEY GETS WILD APPLAUSE & A STANDING OVATION:
I Cannot Say This Too Often Or Too Strongly – I Really Dislike Mark Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister, and I Have No Use Whatsoever for the European Union.
It Sickened Me To See & Hear The Hero’s Welcome Accorded To Mark Carney, as if Carney Had Just Slayed the Evil Giant.
As Carney Entered The Hall Of The European Parliament Thursday, Attended By 27-Leaders & Hundreds Of EU Sycophants, Carney Received a Raucous Applause. And at the Conclusion of Carney’s Speech – Carney was Further Honored with a Boisterous Standing Ovation Usually Reserved for a Rock Star.
What Did Carny Do Or Say To Earn That Kind of Adulation? – He Told Trump To Screw-Off.
I Would Like To Say That Trump Brought This Upon Himself . . . But Not Exactly, since Trump Brought this Upon America . . . Undeservedly-So, since the American People were Not the Voice that Insulted, Defamed & Threatened World Leaders.
It was Not the Voice of the American People who Decided to Use Tariffs as a Global Financial Bludgeon to Intimidate the World into Compliance.
The American People Didn’t Insult Canada’s Leaders, Diminish Canada as America’s Fifty-First State, Lie & Exaggerate About Canada’s “SUPPOSED” Complicity in Flooding America with Fentanyl, Illegal Migrants & Participate in Unfair Trade Practices that Earned Canada an Annual $40 Or $50 Billion Dollar Trade Surplus.
For What Purpose Were The Trump Threats Of An Armed Military Invasion Of Greenland?
It Wasn’t Americans at Large who Threatened to Take Over the Sovereign Territory of Greenland, Simply Because Trump Wanted-It, which was just Accomplished Peacefully, in as much as America Negotiated in his Mindset Yet Another Tremendous Military Agreement (Victory), This Time With Greenland.
What Trump Didn’t Say . . . was that his “New” Agreement (Treaty) with Greenland & Denmark was More or Less a Mirror Image of an Already Existing Treaty Signed in 2004 Between America, Greenland & Denmark.
TRUMP CLAIMS AMERICA IS THE MOST RESPECTED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD:
The World Might Cower From Trump & Tell Him What He Wants To Hear – But That Isn’t Respect.
I Know Something About Human & Animal Nature . . . they are Not that Different . . . I Know that you Can’t Keep Beating-Up & Berating People or Animals & Expect them to Love & Respect You in Return.
I Know that Even a Passive Animal Like a Dog or a Horse will Take Only So Much Until it Won’t Take Any-More. It is No Different than the Beaten Wife (Syndrome), who will Hang Around Until She Won’t . . . Until She Collapses In A Mental Or Stress Related Physical Breakdown.
Were The European Leaders Cheering Carney? Or were they Showing their Derision to Trump. I Think Both. But I Also Think it was More About their Dislike for Trump, than their Support for the Words of Mark Carney.
I Cannot Emphasize This Too Strongly . . . Any Derision Between Canada & America was Made in Washington by Trump, who Used New York City Bully Developer Tactics as a Replacement for Respectful, Honest & Decent Diplomacy (Negotiations).
Please Make No Mistake About This . . . Canadians Could Have Responded Better . . . But Too Many Canadians Didn’t. Some Canadians Booed the American National Anthem at Sporting Events in Protest to Trump’s Threats & Insults, while Millions of Canadians Chose Not to Vacation or Shop in America.
Where Is Any Of That Helpful To Anyone – American Or Canadian?
Anne, Myself and all the People whom we Call Friends, Recognize the Difference Between Trump’s Billy-Bad-Ass-Shtick and the Behavior of the American People. But We Are Not Necessarily In The Majority.
CANADA SOLD $90-BILLION DOLLARS OF OIL TO AMERICA IN 2025:
The Other Day . . . I Read An Article By US Historian Victor Davis Hanson, who I Generally Appreciate for his Global Knowledge and his Method of Conveying his thoughts, which Disappointed Me (His Article) a bit More than just Somewhat, where Hanson Claimed that Canada was Ripping-Off America . . . To The Tune Of Around $40-Billion Per Year In An Unfair Trade Surplus.
In The Above Headline . . . Canada Sold a Little More than $90-Billion Dollars of Oil to America in 2025, Making Canada America’s Single Largest Out-Of-Country Supplier of Oil . . . At More Than 63.4% Of All Oil Imported Into America.
It Should Also Be Noted . . . That the Oil Canada Sold into America was at a Deeply Discounted Rate, which America Refined & Sold Back to Canada & Globally at a Very Profitable Return on Investment.
The Above Does Not Include Billions Of Electricity Transmission Dollars . . . Also Sold to America at Heavily Discounted Prices, which Feeds American Industries & Households all Along the Northeastern American Border with Canada.
Take Away All The Energy Discounts Canada Provides To America, and all of a Sudden, This $40 Or $50 Billion-Dollar Canadian Trade Surplus . . . Becomes A $40 Or $50 Billion-Dollar US Trade Surplus Over Canada.
Another Little Factoid Trump Is Ignoring . . . As Trump Rails Against Canada’s Car Industry – It Has to be Noted, that in the Year 2025, and all Years Before 2025, Canada was by Far the Single Largest Purchaser of American-Made Cars. Why Isn’t That Ever Mentioned?
FOR THOSE WHO LOVED & TRUSTED RONALD REAGAN – WATCH THIS!
I Said This Many Times . . . And Many Times I Have Been Rebuked – But It Is What It Is..
Ronald Reagan, Who Was A Great & Revered President, Never Felt Compelled to Tell all who Would Listen, To How Great A President He Really Was . . . His Successes & Demeanor Spoke for Themselves.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan Made A National Broadcast . . . Where-In, President Reagan Made No Bones About the Negativity & Harm Tariffs Can & Will Cause to America, the American People, and to the Free World.
Tariffs Cause Home-Grown Inflation. Animosity Between Nations & Trade Wars.
Think About Trump’s Statement . . . About How Trump LOVES Tariffs, and that Tariffs are the Greatest Word in the Dictionary . . . Then Watch The Above Video About Trust In Reagan. And Then Ask Yourself . . .
In This Day & Age . . . Is The World Really In A Better Place?
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Thanks HG, for another Great Insightful Article. The Trump that I Voted for (3) seems to have Lost his way. I’m Afraid the Mid-Term Results will Show the Cost of an Unrestrained EGO. I Hope & Pray I’m wrong, as the Left will Destroy this Republic.
Sorry Howard, I can’t read this Editorial.( Too Mad ) Now that Canada is part o9f the EU, does that mean we will now be like the rest of the EU and STOP our support like so many other in the EU no longer support American initiatives like letting American Military fly over EU air space? or not let them sail ships in EU waters? Maybe Carney was in England so long that he forgets Lester B Pearson and the Canadian Peace Keepers Ken Fitzgerald formerly Montreal/ now North Carolina
The part that isn’t clearly addressed are the tariffs that Canada charged the US for many years. Wasn’t Trump shooting for reciprocity with some of his tariffs?
Carny is not even in proximity of hero, more of a coward
Hey, H.G. Just asking. Would your criticism be the same if the Prime Minister of Canada was Pierre Poilievre instead of Mark Carney? Once a Red Neck Conservative, always a Red Neck Conservative.Regards, Joe W.
Some cavils: Where is the reciprocity in retail banking? Or in the airline industry? At what point does the devaluation of the loonie confer an unfair trade practice? What about dairy product price-fixing? Is it time to remind ourselves that interprovincial trade restrictions, which Carney promised to dismantle, are more hurtful than tariffs to our economy? Our must do list is getting longer. Our patience with Carney should be getting shorter, Trump or no Trump.
Before the advent of income taxes all any country had as a source of income was tariffs and customs duties.
Responding to Joe Wroblewski, Verdun, Quebec, Canada. If Pierre Poulievre was our PM, Canada wouldn’t be in the current mess we are in. He would NOT have walked away from the bargaining table. He would have taken the high road and worked to get an agreement that was favorable to BOTH sides.
Excellent editorial Howard. Regan was talking about Japan. To-day we have Trump talking about Canada. Canada has 120 Marketing Boards. I think Trump is going after the Federal Marketing boards…maybe also the Provincial ones not sure. And of course Carney LIES about it all then signs Canadians up with EU as an Associate(which means connect in mind become a partner). We Canadians are NOT STUPID…PM Carney!! PM Carney Needs to BE VOTED OUT of OFFICE before Canada can not turn BACK!!My thoughts
