"He's amassed a billion dollars since he took over," said a guy at the pool this morning. "Carney," I assumed. "No, Trump. Carney has completely divested himself of all his companies, so he's clean," said this Albertan dunce.
"He was one of the only leaders who got a standing ovation," he added, proving in his mind how brilliant Carney was. No, he got a standing ovation because everyone at Davos is like-minded and completely ineffectual, not because he was brilliant.
After his little tirade at the WEF, Carney hightailed it out of town before Trump arrived. Remember when we used to ring people's doorbells and run away? Ya, like that.
I didn't even bother to respond. He is one of the 80 percenters who still think Carney is doing a great job. Their ignorance is breathtaking! Canadians still think Carney is in it for Canada. Have another think, folks. Carney still has all his Brookfield stock and guess where so many contracts the government lets are going? Rhetorical.
Tash Kheiriddin has a great take on what Canada is facing. "The U.S. is waging a hybrid war on our country. We are now in direct economic and political conflict with our formerly closest ally.
"Canada cannot defend our Arctic against Russia and China. Mark Norman, former deputy chief of the defence staff, believes we should establish a permanent NATO command base at Iqaluit, with boots on the ground.
"Canada should align itself with other NATO allies in the Arctic because if we are to survive as a nation, we need all the help we can get."
I agree with her, but Carney is pirouetting around Davos with his buddies dancing the horn pipe and I don't think he gives a toss about Canada and our plight. Afterall, he lives in New York, so perhaps the Stars and Stripes Trump draped all over a map of Canada yesterday doesn't fuss him in the least.

He also holds Irish and British passports, two more safe havens to which he can dash if Canada is swallowed up by the U.S. The rest of us, however, are stuck.
