Trump administration 2024-2028

Besides Blair and Carney, I’ve not been able to get a sense of what other non-Americans are in this Board vs the other ones which seems to be less ‘senior’.

I think that Trump does respect Carney on some level. As I’ve mentioned before, Carney’s former role as CEO to Bloomberg in NYC does put him in some of the same circles of Trump in the past.

I know that people on here dislike Carney for various reasons - but I do not believe that we have any else politically that has his level of professionalism, connections in the business sense and political sense around the world that Carney has - full stop. Having a leader with the respect he has made for himself in the business world and in the central banking world really is opening more doors for us than most people here (and in Canada) realise. Obviously he needs to use that to Canada’s benefit. The most pressing thing as each day goes by is the F35 decision - this needs to be finished ASAP.

I think Trump, at some level, is intimidated by bankers since he’s had to go to them so often to stay alive. That may wear depending how often Trump gets Carney to concede things for an illusory trade deal.
 
Whoops! I actually found this by checking the veracity of what seems to be an AI generated version of this that is circulating, that shows conservatives as least likely to resist US occupation. Clearly a fake

And why Tony Blair? He’s an old school lefty, why him?

Blair, a "lefty"? As the leader who was the face (and prime mover) of "New Labour", he was far from being the stereotypical trade union socialist of the "old" Labour Party. More aptly, a 'new school lefty' - from the right (i.e., posh) schools - in other words, a centrist.

It's funny how the political groups least represented in the military are the biggest proponents to use the military to defend Canada in that poll.

I’d love to see that breakdown. In the caf that is.

It is fake. Another piece of misinformation. The list of potential instigators is large....and includes political parties of more than one nation....

Edited to add that I am not certain if it is a fake or not.

Frank Groves runs Ekos. I don't think he would be posting fake polls.

Seems more like disinformation. The best disinformation is that which seems plausible and which the target audience wants to believe.

So you should - I've learned some good lessons from you & your digging re: sourcing over the past few months (thanks for that). That said ....

Good news: it IS on the x.com feed attributed to the president founder of Ekos Research ...
en.wikipedia.org

Ekos Research Associates - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
... and Graves' name is on the EKOS site. There's also posts responding to the original one showing Graves did conduct the research. Another poll tracking x.com feed actually provides a touch of detail re: sample size:

Good/bad (depending on your political bent): Hard right blogger/commentator Spencer Fernando is amplifying the material as credible in his eyes.

Bad news: it's not listed on the public domain bits of the Ekos site ....

... and searches at Google, DuckDuckGo, Swisscows and Yahoo show zero hits for the exact wording of the question as shown in the slide on the x.com post.

Optimist take: part of proprietary polling requested by someone where the results can't be shared en masse.
Pessimist's take: just made-up shit by some Libtard/New World Orderist/Chinese-Russian info-war troll.

Bottom line: how much does one trust a slide from a post of the head of a Canadian polling firm?

Personally, I'd call it at least a 7 to 7.5 out of 10 on the cred scale (we don't know any of the other questions & responses, not to mention more details on methodology & other context stuff), but YMMV.
