Mark Carney statement on Lindsay Graham's death
(thelemmy.club)
Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving the people of South Carolina and the United States.
Throughout his career, he stood resolutely in defence of democracy and freedom, most recently and particularly with Ukraine and its people.
I offer my condolences to Senator Graham’s family, friends, and all those who served alongside him.
It's real. Apparently Joly and Anand also chimed in.
What the absolute fuck, etc. Could have and SHOULD have said nothing.
In case you don't know what Lindsay Graham was, especially in Canadian context, David Doel did a good recap.
The last sentence would be acceptable, first two weren't really true
Carney's playing politics, riling up Trump or the Republicans would just put his statements into the news cycle for weeks and then the 51st rhetoric would go around again.
That being said, yeah, saying nothing sounds good. If it wasn't nothing, I would have preferred him just keep it far more neutral.
He should not have said anything, if he had to I would have really preferred he rilled up the Trump ass eaters. Got Canadians back to the boycott a little more.
It's rhetorical appeasement. And to be clear, I'm drawing a parallel with Chamberlain.
Trump only care about himself.
I kind of assume Carney is part of the new liberal establishment (think Clinton, Biden but also Bush) so recently overthrown by Trumpism in the US - but I'm not Canadian so it's a little fuzzy.
