What Carney thinks Trump's going to do doesn't matter tbh. Carney's the new kid on the block, and he's showing he won't entertain "Governor Trudeau" nonsense for even a second. The more Carney lets Trump do sideshows like with Zelenskyy that is going to tank the Liberal's soaring approval.

Despite the abject moron at the other end of the agreement, Carney's handling of a decades old partnership is also in the spotlight. Even if unrealistic or impossible to some degree (though I sense Canadian sympathy to Carney's situation), there are expectations on Carney not to unilaterally blow up the relationship Canadians and Americans have with each other unreasonably.
