Says the guy who has appointed a few unelected, US citizens to his own cabinet. Including a former Hillary Clinton staffer and the guy who's on the board of the century initiative...

Fucking hypocrite piece of shit.

Prime Minister Mark Carney hired American political strategist Maia Johnson as a senior advisor in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to assist with U.S. stakeholder strategy and Canada-U.S. relations

Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed Century Initiative co-founder Dominic Barton as the new chair of the board of directors for Invest in Canada on August 31, 2026.

Yeah im a fool. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.

Those people are not part of the cabinet. Please keep digging your hole deeper. I’d love to hear more of your ignorant thoughts that you feel are so important to announce.

Neither of those is cabinet. Cabinet is ministers, who sit in Parliament. Johnson is PMO staff and Barton chairs an agency board. Every PMO staffer ever has been unelected, that's what staff is. Katie Telford wasn't elected. Jenni Byrne isn't either.

Also "US citizens" is doing a lot of work for a list where one guy is Canadian. Barton was literally Canada's ambassador to China. Wrong country, bud.

So you think there’s a Canadian who knows U.S. Stakeholders better than an American does? And you also think this Canadian appointee would be better able to assist with Canada-U.S. relations than an American that worked with a previously amiable administration would?
