Just finished reading an article from Trish Wood with a similar name to the title of this thread on Trump's much improved relationship with Canada by way of Carney becoming the new Prime Minister, thought it was quite interesting. It can be seen here:

Quoting from the introduction and conclusion of Trish's article:

If you’re like me you are scratching your head trying decode exactly what is Donald Trump’s play with Mark Carney? None of it makes any sense. We’ve gone from Carney’ reckless we’re done with America speech to a digital snog between the two men evoking an 80’s romcom, just 24 hours later.
Carney represents everything Trump claims to hate. He’s progressive, net-zero obsessed, effete and a globalist.
For all his good points, Trump hates being publicly embarrassed and is known for his brutal and sometimes comical retaliations. Yet Carney pokes away with hardly a jab. Hmmmm.
Trump has even suggested he would prefer a Liberal government and his tariff move, which was certainly a retaliation against Trudeau — will be historically tagged for putting the failing Liberals back in office if they win. What the hell is going on here?
Andy Lee on X, the Francophone, Le Journal de Montréal as well as an old Financial Times piece have some reporting that explains a lot and it ain’t pretty. Of course its about money and real estate. I found a US Senate Finance document that exposes more deceptions.
The gist is that Brookfield, Carney’s now former, — bailed out Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to the tune of 1B. in an odd-looking deal even the Financial Times struggles to figure out. And that would lead to conflict of interest allegations later.
This is not my reportorial bailiwick so I’ll give the broad outlines and the paywalled articles and translation for you to examine.
[snip]
Over the past six months, the Financial Times has asked current and former executives, and others who know Brookfield well, to shine a light on this empire. Some refused to talk; others requested anonymity, citing non-disclosure agreements or fear of reprisals.
Even as they spoke, the Toronto-based group pushed further into U.S. finance, completing an acquisition of Oaktree Capital Management, the private equity firm founded by Howard Marks and Bruce Karsh. Yet in interviews, securities filings, litigation records and other documents, a picture emerges of an investment group that defies convention: highly secretive, seemingly obsessed with control and susceptible to family squabbles that have few parallels among its Wall Street peers.
Please add what you might know.
Stay critical.
