This is a wild news conference!
Canadian Prime Minister Carney’s first foreign meeting is with French President Macron.
Traditionally, the first meeting would be with USA or UK. But now his first meeting is with France.
Symbolically, this represents a big re-alignment geo-politically. And if you hear Macron’s words, you’ll understand exactly what this means: he says Canada and France have a shared cultural heritage and values.
But also, unlike Trudeau, Carney has an Anglophone heritage. Not Francophone. Yet here, he primarily speaks French in this news conference. Because the emphasis here is that French is a core element of Canadian identity.
What does this mean? Already, Canadian media are calling France—not USA—Canada’s closest ally. This has never happened in my lifetime.

be careful with our president AND our medias... i feel like french people are used to hate USA here (forgetting its soft power on them for decades but oh well...), BUT our president is not someone you should trust, he's not more than a bankster running a ploutocrat old country, playing president like an actor with autoritarian ideas...
anyway, we'll all have to tighten our links now USA goes full fascist, so this is not a bad news, even though I hope people (and not our leaders) get in touch and stand together way more now
