CBC is reporting that Trump withdrew Carney's invitation to sit on the "peace board" full of authoritarians

In Canada, five store chains control 80 percent of the grocery retail market. A new study explores reducing this monopolization and lowering prices through public-owned grocers instead.

#Offramp
PM Carney just gave the blueprint for construction of tRump off-ramps.
Kick'em in the fork, repeatedly. He'll proclaim loudly. "This is a beautiful off-ramp. Maybe the greatest off-ramp in history!" As he stumbles down it, to call putin to apologise.
#tRump US govt, go fuck yourselves!

Met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos earlier today.
We talked about the tests NATO is facing, and Canada’s resolute support for the Alliance. We’re quadrupling our defence spending — including scaling up our investments in Arctic security to defend the northwestern flank.

DO IT!!
If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

1 Listening to CBC power and politics It occurs to me that these folks need to get some experience in business & economics
Lots of praise for Carney (naturally-foolish otherwise). Unfortunately it was punctuated with pearl clutching over CUSMA
So Trump gets credit for his “negotiating strategy” but

I’ve finally had the chance to see the transcript of Carney’s speech
I don’t speak French so I missed this part. It is profound and explains the impact of the message he sent today
“The power of the less powerful begins with honesty.”
Let’s hope our countrymen take it to heart

His speech in Davos might be the most important one ever delivered by a Canadian prime minister. Its consequences will determine his place in history — and ours.
