In audio from the fundraiser in Southampton, N.Y., which was provided to The Canadian Press by a source who attended the private function, Vance said Carney is a “very sweet guy” and he gets along with him quite well.

But, Vance said, Carney “comes in and puffs his chest out and says, ‘I’m going to, like, out-tough Donald Trump.’”

“It’s hilarious because Carney presents this as some victory for Canada when fundamentally, like, they climb down on a lot of issues,” Vance told the room.

“And the whole point of this is to change Canada’s behaviour,” Vance said. “Which they, you know, not entirely, but they’ve certainly shifted in a Trumpian direction.”

        He’s not great, but we don’t have a better alternative right now. Unless Avi Lewis manages to pull off a miracle, it’s Carney, or active Trump boot-lickers. If the Cons won we’d already be the 51st state.

      Poilievre would have got his dick all the way down his throat.

      It’s very hard to negotiate with a trading partner when the trade is so unbalanced. We can be all elbows out but we can also kill most of our economy to do that.

        Trump is bad worked so well in the usa right ? and of course trump and Poilievre are bad It could be the same here in canada when people are too angry for trusting the current leader and getting backstabbed they lose rationality and would vote for the other no matter how the other side could be far far worse
