The White House Meeting, May 6
Before the meeting, Trump set the stage with the comment “We don’t need their Cars, we don’t need their Energy, we don’t need their Lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have…” (read “We Don’t Need Anything They Have… Except Friendship” – Trump Trounces New Canadian PM Carney Ahead Of White House Visit). Recall Trump telling Zelensky that “You don’t have the cards“.
First report of the public part of the meeting by the Epoch Times reveals nothing substantive agreed upon (read Trump Says ‘Never Say Never’ as Carney Tells Him Canada Not for Sale). It should be noted that Trump is stuck on the 51st state meme.
Catching a later report by the Toronto Sun, we are given a video of Carney’s post meeting address to the media (16:55 minutes). Also included are a few questions from the MSM.
In short, nothing was decided except to begin an ongoing process of negotiations. It is simplistic at this point to expect more as the MSM demonstrates. The best summary of the meeting in Carney’s own words is “This is the point at which serious discussions begin”.
Opinion
I was impressed by what I saw. However, Carney is a globalist which subjugates Canadian interests to those of the UN. Net zero is his fundamental ideology and he will destroy Canada in trying to implement it. Finally, he is too closely aligned to personal and business interests to be able to place Canadians first.
The Alberta File
Ezra Lavant and Keith Wilson discuss aspects of the idea of Alberta separatism. The big problem for Alberta presently is that they can’t get their products to the world market. Independence does not solve this problem (11:22 minutes).
The following video has Smith giving a clear statement of her position on separation (3:36 minutes).
Premier Danielle Smith has a YouTube channel as well as contact points on various social media platforms. The url www.daniellesmith.ca takes you to the UCP website.
