Mark Carney says Canada prepared for 'extreme tail risk' of U.S. military action
Carney spoke to the NYT for an hour. "Mr. Carney suggested that he had carefully examined the possibility of a U.S.-led military invasion, but declined to discuss in detail what that involved. “I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme tail risk.”"
George Pearkes275“Extreme tail risk” is a very good way to describe that sort of scenario that will fly over the heads of a lot of people reading it.
Isaiah Bishop67it is really not that informative except starlink, USD thoughts, and him articulating we did prep for US mil action
John Muller33I am actually somewhat put at ease by the knowledge that we really did game out a US invasion scenario and didn't just pretend it couldn't happen.
Ken Caldeira3When does the mainstream commercial media start using the word "traitors" to describe the Republicans who are undermining the long-term interests of the United States for their corrupt short-term gain? The venality of the Republicans is disgusting. The timidity of the Democrats is disappointing.
Matt Szafranski2Both countries have had scenarios on a shelf for a century. Despite how the world had changed, I imagine Canada's defensive plan is essentially the same. The main difference is today there would be wide and open rebellion in the US to it doing such a thing.
As Canada deepens ties with Europe, could it leave U.S. banks and dollars behind? Some see U.S. financial dominance as a threat — and are taking action www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Nancy F3Well obviously Canada needs to protect our banking and payment systems .
🇨🇦AB.CAN🇨🇦1I do think it’s a threat. Denying access to our money is absolutely something a madman could do with the controls sitting in the US. Mapping this out, protecting us is way more important than attending QP at this point in time. Show up every now and then but damn, do what you do best PMMC.
