🇨🇦 Carney plays NATO clerk while Canada drifts

Mark Carney is in Ankara blessing fresh U.S. strikes on Iran as appropriate while Trump declares the ceasefire over. That is the level of strategic genius running Ottawa now: lecture Tehran about acting irresponsibly after a so-called peace deal collapses within days, then nod along with Mark Rutte that more force is absolutely necessary. The whole performance, reported, reeks of Canada’s new role as a polished middle-manager for NATO talking points.

Notice what never gets discussed. Not Canadian sovereignty, not energy security, not whether Ottawa has any independent foreign policy left. Carney can fly to Turkey, then Saudi Arabia, and posture as a statesman while Canadians eat the bill for endless global crisis management and domestic decline. Same Trudeau-era instinct, just with a banker’s smile instead of a drama teacher’s grin: outsource national interest to supranational clubs, applaud escalation abroad, and pretend the country still has agency. Canada is being governed like a branch office.
