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.

    White Canadians believe they’re in on it, they’d rather be responsible investors and become landlords. They didn’t care about US fascism or imperialism until it effected them in the most marginal way, they don’t want anti-US-imperialism to effect Canadian imperialism, they don’t have the heart that you need to even acknowledge class warfare.

    I’m often disgusted by Canadians.

      It’s more of a human, capitalist thing than it is a national thing. You have the right to be disgusted by any large, nebulous group of people though.

    • When my partner and I went to do my taxes this year, the guy at Liberty kept talking about how great investment properties are and how we should look into getting one to have a stable future.

      My partner and I have had a tumultuous year and I got laid off. We rent. It was frankly insulting.
