Employing U.S. President Donald Trump’s marquee slogan, Prime Minister Mark Carney told a New York City business crowd on Thursday that “Canada strong will help make America great again,” a remark the U.S. envoy to this country said was “worth repeating.”

Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, the prime minister detailed his economic diversification strategy, and his plans to recalibrate Canada’s relationships and reputation.

“We’re focused on what we can control, and that means weaving a dense web of international partnerships abroad. That’s making us a much stronger, more resilient, more independent country,” Carney told the business crowd.

Touting some key areas where the federal Liberals have made progress, Carney sought to make the case for why Canada and the U.S. should continue to co-operate in key sectors.

    Dear Canada, Please don’t feel obligated to help the US be “great again.” Please protect yourself and don’t trust the US.

      It’s strategic. Mango Mussolini doesn’t actually understand any of this, but if you repeat his nonsense back at him, he claps and leaves you alone for a while. Then you can do whatever you want while he’s distracted.
