Carney is contemplating a new digital currency for trade settlement between the EU and Canada. Many questions arise from this and would be considered to be an assault on the US dollar as the reserve and international trade settlement currency .

🎯 Canada..and what remains of "the free world", will be much better off without him.. ⌛

Canada voted itself out of the "free" world in 1968 when Trudeau 1.0 was first elected...

I see this forum has its share of misinformation... Why did I think it wouldn't ?

What would you consider to be misinformation? Please explain.

Mark Carney is not contemplating a new digital currency for trade settlement between Canada and the European Union, but rather plans to link next-generation payment systems to bypass U.S.-controlled infrastructure.

Yes and he did the same thing when he was the Govenor of the Bank of England when he made a backdoor for China to trade with England in the RMB, therefore bypassing the US dollar completely. He has been working at dropping the US Dollar as the world currency for some time.

Unfortunately most Canadian's are unaware of all f this as the Liberal funded media would never dare report the truth to Canadian's or they would be up in arms.

Carney is using Canada as a credit card to keep continental Europe afloat before it crashes and literally burns. Europe will loose their war against Russia, that will be the final crushing defeat. France is still upset that Napoleon lost against the Russians in 1810.

Century old hatred’s never die in Europe.

Canada, France, Germany are led by former investment bankers…. carney left his employment with Goldman Sachs to parachute into the Canadian gov in 2004 to prepare to bail out the banks… he saw what was coming as the banks handed out subprime mortgages (Goldman one of the worst offenders) and placed himself, not to help the country, but the banks. Hank Paulson & Mario Draghi employed the same strategy… both also with Goldman. They looted us. They’re looting us again.. this is their sole aim. Wake up. this gang is trying to destroy Russia to get the riches of Ukraine & has murdered all of its men to get there, now Putin is bombing the women. These bumbling b@stards have never worked a full day in their lives & are driving us toward world war… without a doubt… if you think otherwise you are as stunned as Kaja Kalas.

Totally agree with you Sam. There is no way in hell that I would want to be tied to the EU. It would be suicidal when we ourselves are paying more on our ridiculous debt than health transfers. Enough of this insanity I want out!

In the midst of all this horror, not only in France, but throughout Europe, Carny announces that our immigration problems have all been resolved. At least, that's what he told the New York Times.

Apparently, there is no longer rampant crime across Canada. Housing affordability is a thing of the past and our health care system, once again the envy of the civilised world. And mustn't forget, anti Semitism has been all but vanquished. (Truth in advertising, that's not entirely an immigration issue, but it is the largest, most violent part.)

So now it's back on track, full speed ahead with uncontrolled and unvetted immigration. All is, once again, sunshine and roses in this Utopia called Carneyda.

Since Carny is reluctant (refuses) to provide us any detail of our new-found venture with the EU - or anything else for that matter -we're forced to intuit the terms. Fortunately, with Carny's negotiation skills a matter of record, that's not too difficult a task.

First, our position in their Union. We will be slotted right between Bulgaria and Croatia.

With the same voting power in the EU as Moldova. You remember Moldova. That's the country where the late night comics tell you "Don't worry about where you are, it's Moldova. The borders come to you."

I wonder what percentage of the EU's currently-rioting immigrants Carny has agreed to take in. Will they be allowed to bring their rioting gear with them? Sadly enough, that is not as ridiculous a concern as it sounds.

It is not a coincidence that with France's current rioting near peak violence, Carny announced that our immigration problems were all solved. All things considered, due to the magnitude and violence of current immigration problems in Europe, no Canadian politician would normally utter the word "immigration". Much the same as Trudeau banned the words "Carbon Tax" until after his election.

Carny has learned politics well at Trudeau's feet. He has fully mastered the art of the Big Lie.

Carney taught Trudeau, gave him his stage lines.

Carney, as the Govenor of the Bank of England made a back door for China to trade with England during his tenure. It by passed the US dollar and exchange entirely. Then we had the Asian Infrastructure Bank that Canada was also involved in and had a whistle blower who deemed it was corrupted and run by China. All countries seem to have these Infrastructure Banks today but there is little to no infrasturcture being built in the Western Democracies as they are rotting from the inside out.

Watching Europe crumble due to mass immigration of those who dispise the very lives and lifestyles of the countries they are flooding into, seems a purposeful end game that these progressives are all playing. The two tiered legal systems that are enforced against the citisen's of these countries, are pointed directly at the people who live in and have built these once free and democratic nations. The people in charge are of the mind that harm to their own people is their goal, as they create catch and release systems for the criminals who enter each country, allowing them to continue to wreck havoc in once high trust societies which is devastating to the population. One can see the open hostility, death, and complete disintigration, of the lives of their citisen's and the financial and social hovoc their policies cause and continue to cause.

Is it the known financial crisis and pension issues that have built due to the boomers and their retiring, to which the financial system can not sustain, that is the cause behind this entire destructive phase by those with progressive ideals? Is it the making of a new hedgemon with China? That seems unlikely as Europe does not want to import from China as it has devastated their economies. Or is it their own Net Zero Policies that have caused the financial crisis that is pushed also by mass migration? I can not begin to speculate as the damage they have caused in all western democracies is unprecidented and it appears to be purposeful. I do know that what is happening in all these countries, and our own, is that their citisens are under attack from their own Government's and the damage is both financially and socially devastating.

And where do you think the EU is going to send their most undesirables? At least they learned some French, just not our French. 😉

The EU is Rome dying on the vine so they must go out and conquer, in the modern world it is bribe and steal, but they must bring in some new other nations coins. In walks Canada’s Marx carnage and Ursula will have money for her private parties and much needed security for another day.

"Diversifying trade makes sense. Canada sends about 70 percent of its exports to the United States and only 5.5 percent to the European Union"

Really look at this Sam. Trade is not digital - it takes transportation, substitutable goods (quality, type etc), AND a stable political environment. The EU, China and most other countries (Does El Salvador trade finished goods???) don't check the boxes here. IF they do it will for sure be MUCH more expensive to ship the goods.

Are Canadians prepared to pay double of what they are now for whatever goods we can find in Burma, Thailand etc? Will they be at the standards that we have expected from US suppliers.

Wake up people. This is a giant money laundering scheme, no more. Stop pretending its about trade. Its geopolitics.

Carney did not ask for Associate Membership, that was a statement by Ursula von der Leyen.

Canada is pursuing a "unique alliance" and deep strategic cooperation with the European Union (EU), explicitly ruling out full EU membership.

To me this means expanded bilateral trade including access to bid on defense needs of the EU.

Liberal Party operative in the house! Keeping track of the opposition, Ross-o?

Marylou Speelman's avatar

One can not be sure who came up with the Associate Membership idea, as I am sure Carney speaks with the EU Commission on a constant basis as he is a "European". The statement was just that, a statement. Not that it matters who came up with it. There is a leak saying the meeting coming up in Montreal is where Carney will explain what it entails. Here is something of worth to consider. If we are to become any form of a partner to the EU that should be put to the citisenship of Canada, not the Government of the day. If this relationship entails any of Europes regulations that would be binding on Canada, it should not be signed. No one voted for that. Canadian's voted for Carney because he convinced Canadian's that he, and only he could get a trade deal with Trump. He has been a massive failure in that and is now tying us up with the EU, China, and other entities, that no Canadian voted for !!!! His allowance of Chinese Electric vehicles (Brookfield has billions invested in property, manufacturing of solar panels and batteries in China) and his personal idea of making China our Strategic Partner and invitations for the CCP's security service to work with our RCMP. Then we hear our Armed Forces are training with the CCP's since March!!! I dont remember any of this being on his election platform and the only thing he did promise was that he, and only he could get a deal with Trump!! He stated during the leadership campaign that our greatest enemy was China. Yet here we are under China and now the EU. Who does Carney think he is working for Brookfield or Canadian's? Obviously Brookfield because no Canadian voted any of this. He is managing, not just our financial system, opening one new bank after another, but our precurement, our infrastructure, housing, and foreign policy and what ever else he wants control of. Many of these things are not even in the Federal Governments jurisdiction. Since when has housing been a Federal responsibility? Canada is not run by our elected officials but by Carney's appointed friends and banking buddies, which needs to end. This is a democratic Constitutional Country and if Carney does not want to rule under our Constitution, then he must be made to surrender his Prime Ministership. I voted for my MP to speak and work on my behalf, not for the Federal Government to take everything over every aspect of my life, from my speech, to my thoughts.

Isaiah 5: 1-30 is the warning for our times in Canada and broader western society.

Such are the foretold woes that inevitably follow bad fruit under intentional incremental progression from greed to perversion of moral law when self-indulgence and social injustice result in widespread growing rejection of the revelation of the Word and natural order instructed by our One God Lord Almighty and Creator. Societies that abandon Him never historically fair well.

Isaiah 5 ends in the summoning of ravenous outer-vineyard societal changing events arriving to accomplish a purposeful confrontation to that downward spiral within His vineyard refugia because the tenants no longer respect the Creator-Owner nor do they bear intended good fruit. In today's context, perhaps it reminds, forewarns and confronts a societal culture that has lost the idea that we owe obedience and worship to God and in turning away from Him are becoming lawless.

Turn to Me, O turn and be saved.

Save Your people O Lord. Show us the way to come home. We have been wandering far from Your love.

A message of strength to endure for you faithful ones... -Philippians 4: 5-9

I’ve been retired 32 years ago. IfI had known Canada would become to this present state… I would NOT have retired in Canada..……. I would have chosen a different country …moved my assets and investments to hell out of Canada.

I fear that Canada is n the brink of an “engineered” collapse….. thanks to the traitors that are engineering it.

If Alberta seperate………might be the “country” to immigrate to?

Sadly, if we Canadians want to know what our prime minister is up to, we have to subscribe to the New York Times or BBC. I wonder why he hates Canadians so much?
