Looking at the mention of “leader” from Carney to Trump in transcripts, Carney’s never actually said anything to the effect of “you’re a great leader”. He only said “thank you for your hospitality and above all for your leadership”. That isn’t a praise at all, it’s just a cordial thank you.
So how did you get the impression that Carney was praising Trump as a “great leader”?
“Thanks for your ‘leadership’.” The subtext is “your absolute jackassery united enough Canadians to stand against your Conservative supporters.”
I think Trudeau stepping down was a prerequisite, but the unprovoked trade war and threatening Canadian sovereignty really turned the tide (or rather, to be more supportive of the active role Carney is playing, allowed the tide to be turned).
