This is yet another epic fail by Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, this time with the United Kingdom. It comes as the same time as BOTH France and Germany don’t want Carney’s “Associate Membership” with the EU. Which is especially embarrassing for Mr. Carney going into his EU Summit in Montreal. After a ridiculous bid to build a Strategic Partnership with an obvious strategic rival in Türkiye. All while Canadian workers are being laid off, uncertainty is killing our jobs, and costs rise in a stagnation economy. Any of our friends in the mainstream press prepared to admit he’s not the negotiator they keep claiming he is? “Britain has decided not to join a global defence bank spearheaded by Canada, as chancellor John Healey prepares to throw his weight behind a separate UK-led initiative to help fill a multibillion hole in the UK defence budget. “Andy Burnham, UK prime minister, discussed Britain joining the Ottawa initiative with Mark Carney, his Canadian counterpart, last month after officials began exploring the proposal, as first reported by the FT. “But on Sunday it was announced that the plan would not go ahead, a move which will be seen in some quarters as a snub to Carney and his attempt to forge closer ties among the world’s “middle powers”.”
