I was just watching About That with Andrew Chang on CBC. And wow, it was quite the love in of Mark Carney.

I had wondered how anyone could actually feel that Carney is standing up to Trump, given all the blatant capitulation to almost all of Trump's whims that Carney has shown. Well, this show demonstrated that for me.

It ignored stuff like: changing our tax policy, altering the Liberal platform's outlined defence spending, tossing commitments to maintain public services (now they're even phasing out pharmacare), supporting Trump's illegal war in Iran (later "with regret", but still supporting), tossing environmental policy out the window, etc, all to appease Trump.

Instead, it focused on Carney's Davos speech and some of Trump's tweets about this. I felt like I was watching a Liberal produced propaganda advertisement, designed to convince everyone that Carney's elbows are "up", rather than down so low that they're now dragging on the pavement.
