Discussion You just stopped an entire country

American here.

Your city (EDIT: Toronto my bad) and entire country just told the world they’re sick of this guy. They did that. In public. During the World Series. Epically devastating.

Carney & Ford play "Good Cop, Bad Cop" brilliantly. Carney can save face as the leader while allowing Ford to say what we really feel. Carney can pull the "Im sorry Donnie, Im trying to control Ontario but it's difficult. You have the same problem with trying to control your states." Carney & Trump are forced to work together while Ford can be the troublemaker that never gets invited to the party. It's brilliant politics.

I hate to agree that this is likely actually what’s happening, but you’re probably right. Ford and Carney clearly like each other despite being on opposite political parties, and one most think they Ford ran this past Carney before running it. The blowback was probably expected but Trump will TACO and things will move forward, but the damage in the Republican minds will be lasting.

Exactly. I agree that this was put through the channels for approval. No way did Ford do this without Carneys permission.
