Every so often in politics you get a moment where the curtain drops, the music stops, and somebody with a functioning central nervous system just flat-out says the quiet fucking part. Usually its an accident. Usually its a leaked hot mic. Usually the staffer responsible gets frog-marched out of the building before lunch with a cardboard box full of their stapler and their dignity.
Yesterday in Ottawa, Mark Carney did it on purpose. In front of the whole press pack. With a straight face. While the White Houses entire trade policy watched its own trousers fall down around its ankles in real fucking time.
Some American correspondent, clearly operating off a script written in the Commerce Department the night before by a 24-year-old intern with a lisp and a MAGA hat, rolled in with the most Trump-coded question imaginable. Loaded premise. Bigger framing. Howard Lutnick said this. Jamieson Greer said that. The Americans are confused about where this entry-fee talk is coming from. The Americans are threatening retaliation because Canadian liquor boards refuse to stock the spray-tanned cunts preferred brand of industrial paint thinner labelled as bourbon. What are you going to do, Prime Minister? How are you going to calm the mighty Americans down?
Carney didnt answer. Carney picked the question up by the scruff of its scrawny little neck and pegged it straight out a seventh-storey window.
I dont think that was an exact quote of what I said yesterday, so Im not going to associate myself with it the way you framed it.

Yes, I vowed no more substacks in the overflowing inbox but this was irresistable. I just discovered it this week.
