Difficult to say, but I don't think you can take his words at face value either.

CBC News is reporting it as well.
It's called clown range for a reason.

It's game on. Carney/Trump/Ford vs Poilievre/Smith/Singh

Danielle Smith not pulling punches, says another(4th)term of liberals is a bigger threat than Trump.
Singh will be attacking Carney to try to reel back in some of those leftey escapees.
And it seems like we got 2 conservative premiers clashing, if so, the big question will be how many Ontario conservative leaning voters will be swayed by Ford's positive opinion of Carney.
Don't think I've ever seen so many dynamics at play.

I have seen many people say that Ford is really a Liberal in disguise.

Yup, and removed all doubt the other day when he said he likes Carney. But it's funny how the former British prime minister and others from there have heavily criticized him, thus the nickname Mark Carnage.

When I was a kid, I thought politics was Cool. Once I understood them, I Realized what a sick game it is.

Politics divides people; look at the states—it's brutal. Nothing ever changes because they all lie to get into power, and we repeat the process over and over.

What is going on right now is pretty messed up. Trade wars should not be happening, but yet here we are.

And now we are in two trade wars. Canada decided to put a 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars (even though there are no Chinese made electric cars in the Canadian market) and now China is retaliating by imposing 25% tariffs on the stuff we DO sell to China in YUGE quantities, canola, wheat, etc.

So Canadian farmers have their two largest markets on earth smashing them in the nuts at the same time!

Human female? Is that supposed to be making some sort of gender related point?
So sick of gender politics. The centre/left has all but abandoned it, it's just a right wing talking point that they're milking to death. There are so many bigger issues.

You know that Trump was BS'ing right? Could not be more obviously. Trump lies as he breathes.
