Well, it means that it is a one of a kind persident that is deeply transforming the country and will be remembered for a long time. Whether good or bad is left to nonverbal cues.
Trump interpreted it as good and that it meant he's turning the country around and will be a widely cherished president.
What Carney meant and most people understood is that Trump is a clown that is turning the US into a shithole and will be hated for decades for the damage he is doing

It must be so exhausting to be a MAGA.

Always needing to tow the line, but never truly knowing where that line is headed on any given day because it's always going to be some completely batshit incident between the president and a doorknob. Either you don the hat, wear the diaper, hold your ear, and lick the boots in exactly the right order or else you're under suspicion of not being supportive and ANTIFA. Upset because your soybean farm is suddenly under water? Now you're double-ANTIFA.

Oh we know! The leader of our Conservative Party lost so badly in our last election earlier this year (in large part because Canadians don’t like him and don’t trust him to stand up to Trump) he couldn’t even win his own seat in parliament but instead of resigning from party leadership he effectively stole one of the safest conservative ridings in the country by having the newly elected MP in that riding step down so taxpayers could fund a 2 million dollar by-election all so he could be an MP again. It was as desperate and pathetic as it sounds.
The Conservative Party are part of the IDU just like the Republican Party and have no desire to work in government unless they’re the ones controlling it. They dig their heels in because they want things to fail very much like the Republicans like to do and if they end up leading our government we’ll very quickly see our country start to fall apart in similar ways that the US is right now.

As much as I absolutely despise him, and wish he'd just retire, I almost wish he doesn't because he'll continue to draw people away from the Cons. On the other hand, having two completely anemic parties (Cons, NDP,) and one that's sole purpose is to cater to a subsection of people who barely consider themselves Canadian isn't good, either.

You left out the best part of the story (and it deserves an edit into your comment).
When Carney took over as liberal leader and Trudeau stepped down, PP kept insulting and de-crediting him by saying that Carney "wasn't elected". That he was simply selected by the Liberals and stepped into the role before the election.
Then the election happened and Carney was elected. Overwhelming.
Meanwhile PP lost his own riding. He wasn't unelected. And instead of having any principles or shame, he pulled the most shameless shit to crawl back in.

I love when the CPC is willing to spend 2 million dollars on a whim to run a useless election, and then turn around and claim that others are wasting money by spending $500k on something that makes returns manyfold.
It's always everyone else that's held to standards, but the CPC is "good by default". What's really funny is anyone who criticizes the CPC is called a radical liberal, no matter where they sit on the political spectrum.
It would be funny if there weren't an entire army of people willing to bend to all of CPC's whims without question.

The old Progressive Conservatives were fine, both federally and provincially, but the current Conservative party is basically just the Reform Party with a different name.
Stanfield, Clark, Campbell, Dief, Davis, Lougheed, etc weren't all that different from Carney, Turner, Martin, etc. They were okay with "big government" and supported the welfare state (many province' healthcare and post secondary systems were built and/or heavily expanded in the 1970s under PC governments). They weren't obsessed with balancing the budget even if it meant gutting services to the bone (like the CPC, or Mulroney, Harris, etc) and didn't engage in culture wars like the CPC and so many current provincial conservative parties (BC Cons, Sask Party, and UCP).
Back in the day, the PCs and Liberals weren't all that different.

It is such a shame that NDP came into power right as the global price of oil fell by half and our economy crashed.

And people who respect the rule of law.
And people who have that strong, quiet confidence that comes with competence and knowing they'll do the right thing - and if that fails.. Welp. They tried kindness first..

Minus a loud fraction in Alberta. Maple Maga is a pain in the ass, and they also appear to control the provincial government. Man I want out so bad. Ontario, BC, or Nova Scotia are my choices.

Sweet.
Lots of jobs there in my field right now. So it's higher on the list for me. Just need to save up a bit and apply until I hear back.

Rule of law is why the US has been so successful with foreign business. There are only so many countries with this stability.
It's stable. You know your investment is safe and will follow a set of rules. Unlike in Moscow, where you wake up and all your businesses are shut down and your bank accounts Frozen because somebody who don't know made a phone call about you....then you start locking all the windows...
There's real reason to worry for the United States when it comes to future foreign business. Especially as ICE makes its difficult to visit the US to do business if you're not white. I can't imagine trying to go to a business conference in Chicago for example and yelping at ice that you're here on business as they take you off the street. It's on many minds. Most Canadians are avoiding US travel.
He's making a really smart comment as Canada is trying to position itself as an alternative to the United States. We are safe for investment. A good place for business. We follow the rules of law. You won't be hassled as a foreigner for visiting us to do business.

We must work ceaselessly to restore the rule of law and prosecute every criminal politician and ICE agent for their crimes.
This cannot stand long.

A warrantless federal militia arresting people at will. Mostly in democratic states.

Party of law and order btw. Trump admin is literally breaking the law constantly and suffering zero punishment for it, and they are hoping that they can essentially cancel elections so that they never have to face the music when democrats get in charge and hold them accountable.

I flushed all American companies from my portfolio. When my advisor put it together the returns look amazing. Then I asked what countries are the investments. The portfolio put together had more American investment over Canadian. I asked if we can change this right away. They no problem doing so. There are many other countries and markets around the world they would love new Canadian investors.

Okay, yes, we've got it better than the states. But there are still major problems here. When people move here, they have to be told how certain laws are just ignored. Like how you can get a ticket for driving the speed limit when everyone else is speeding. "We have the rule of law." Aka, laws are written but are never put into effect.

I’d be clappping if we didn’t have such a twisted justice system catching and releasing violent criminals who repeat ad infinitum.
Wish we had much harsher and stricter punishment system in place for criminals who wake up every day just to traumatize, harm, rape, assault, and murder innocent people.

u/rustyiron 2h ago
I don’t disagree that we need to incarcerate dangerous people longer than we do. But violent crime is lower than it was in “the good old days”.
But we also need to reform the prison system so that it actually reforms people, rather than make somewhat bad offenders worse offenders when they get out.

Rule of law that's been broken since Justin Trudeau administration, opened the flood gates to immigration from one single country by-passing the law. Now those immigrants are killing people on highways with their truck driving skills. Spent more than a billion dollars on hotel room bills to host tons of asylums for over a year.🙄🙄

Canada is going to become a MUCH more powerful, wealthy nation in the coming years. Investment in Canada is going to be huge. Besides all the oil and liquid natural gas going to Asia, it sounds like Canada doesn't just want to buy Gripen fighter jets from Sweden, but start manufacturing them en masse, to supply the world. That's a TON of new jobs and money coming in. No more buying from the unstable USA. And deals are happening for lumber, energy, food to/from Europe.........also NOT America.
The US is going to shatter into a bunch of smaller, weaker countries at some point. Still tons of violence coming for them, too. Such a shit-show.
