Conservatives and Trump: A Tale of Betrayal and Silence

As the Canadian election campaign heats up, the Conservative party finds itself in a peculiar situation. According to John Ivison, the party seems to be outmaneuvered by Carney, the leader of the Liberal party.

This development comes amidst a backdrop of strained relations between Canada and the United States. A recent article in The Star highlights the story of Canadians who welcomed thousands of Americans into their homes during the 9/11 crisis, only to feel a sense of 'betrayal' by Donald Trump's America.

Meanwhile, Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of Canada, has not spoken to Trump since taking office. Carney believes that Trump is waiting for the election results before engaging in conversation.

This silence is telling, given the current state of relations between the two nations. As the election campaign unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Conservative party will navigate this complex web of international relations and partisan politics.

One thing is certain, however: the consequences of this election will have far-reaching implications for Canada and its relationships with the world.
