The paralells are so strong and yet Carnies apparently don't see it. This is Carney reversing Trudeau's greenwashing law, only US style.
Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Before I even clicked the video to see the context in which Carney responded βwho caresβ to a reporter asking when he last spoke with Trump, I knew it would a female reporter who asked the question.
Why? Because Carney is consistently more short with and rude to female reporters.
