Canada

While I wish Carney was more openly 'elbows up' I acknowledge there's a tonne at that level of government I don't really know about. I'd say at this point, yeah, I'm disappointed in Carney, but for now I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. From day one his path was to pull away from the strongest ally Canada has ever had and an ally we were near-totally tied to. It takes time to find alternate deals and countries to replace those broken agreements. Cutting ties instantly would have led to the greatest recession Canada has ever seen and may well have destroyed the country. Honestly, if he announces some major shifts to other countries within his first year I'd expect that to be a pretty significant success.

Just like how Trump's policies have taken 6 to 8 months to start showing results in the US, moving away from a country we were so closely tied to will not only take a long time to do, but seeing the results will take longer beyond that. Carney's only been PM for 8 months and is arguably facing the greatest challenge any PM has had to face in decades. I've tempered my expectations and am waiting to see how the next few months play out. My hope is that he's just stringing Trump along until we get our shit sorted, like setting up a new job and place to live before leaving an abusive relationship.
