Sen. Peter Boehm, a former diplomat, told CBC's Power & Politics that Carney's remarks were the "most consequential" delivered by a Canadian prime minister since Louis St. Laurent — minister responsible external affairs at the time — laid out Canada's post-Second World War foreign policy direction in 1947.

Louise Blais, a former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations, told Power & Politics that she thinks Carney is attempting to position Canada as a leader among the middle powers.

I think this has been his position the entire time. He's smart. He knows Trump is stupid, evil, and untrustworthy and USA's word is now worth less than shit on your shoe.

I think we all know you can't do business with a country that severely flip flops every 4 years. We don't even know if it's going to recover from it's current MAGA Nazi decline. My personal guess is no.

He's going to smile and wave at the US while repositioning Canada and building new and better trade partner relationships. We're going to work on long term partnerships, build alliances, and then one day the US realizes it wasn't invited to our birthday.
