Me: Carney should have absolutely nothing to do with an Orwellian "Peace Board" run by some of the worst people on Earth and clearly dedicated to profiting from ethnic cleansing.
Carney loyalists: Don't you think aid should get into Gaza?
That's where we are, folks.

“Canada, whose relationship with the US has been deeply strained” - Maybe a line about why??
“Protecting Canada’s northern border is a key part of Trump and his top aides’ vision” - Really? That’s all this is about?
Dangerous sane-washing…

Trump's latest Western Hemisphere fixation: Canada
The president has intensified his criticism of Canada in private conversations with aides in recent weeks over what he sees as the country's vulnerability to U.S. adversaries in the Arctic.

What Happened to the "Don't Tread On Me" Conservatives?
Guess what, they never cared about individual rights or had a problem with state violence. It just depends on who's on the receiving end.

Dumping buttloads of money into our military won't do anything to prevent a US invasion. It would not be our military against theirs more than very briefly. Then it wound be prolonged insurgency. I'll be fighting if it comes to that.
My latest -- A new poll suggests that New Democrats are more ready to go to war with the US militarily than Conservatives are, by a lot. I suggest why that might be, and argue that a military option to defend Canadian sovereignty would be pure folly.

Again, this is about joining a "Peace Board" chaired for life by Trump, run by some of the worst people in the world, a protection racket, with no intention of involving Palestinians, set to pillage Gaza, and directly undermining the UN.

There are two main flavours of Carney rationalizations, and once again they are incompatible with each other.
1) Carney isn't going to join Trump's "Peace Board". He's just stalling/playing Trump.
2) Carney will join the board so he can do good things for Palestinians.
Both delusional.

3/ Appeasing Trump does nothing except embolden him. Canada should be in coalition talks with countries around the world who are being targeted or are outraged by US impunity. We are always stronger together.

Yes, Carney fans are doing exactly the kind of rationalizing we've come to expect. There is no line for them.
I don't believe he is mulling it over. He is being vague for a reason. They still have to discuss things to agree on details. You don't rationalize with a crazy man through the media. Canada will probably give money to Gaza, but it will be humanitarian aid, not bribery.

I really hope he finally grasps the threat. Him being willing to join a "Peace Board" chaired for life by Trump kinda undermines that hope though.

I can't believe Carney fans are rationalizing even this. They really and truly have no principles left.
Canada must not do this. It is a mockery of international political governance, legitimizing the idea that Trump can simply push aside other countries' sovereignty.

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.
