Mark Karnya: The first foreign visits of the Prime Minister of Canada

Two European politicians, dressed symbolically in red and white, sent a message to Canada to social media last week, announcing “our back”.

Also, she was a signaling support was King Charles, who planted a red maple on the Bakingham Palace and wore his Canadian medals during a loud visit to the military -marine ship.

If on Monday, the new Prime Minister of Canada Mark Karni will go to his first foreign visit to Paris and London – a day after his 60th anniversary – he hopes to achieve more than symbolic encouragement. He wants reliable support from the Allies.

Canada is not only targeted, like Europe, waving tariffs on the US, but Donald Trump makes it clear that he wants to capture his northern neighbor.

“We appreciate all the symbolic gestures, but we need more public support,” said a Canadian official with a voice, who emphasized the nervous unbeliever, which is shared by the majority of Canadians – Trump does not joke when he calls Canada “51 state”.

Official reports from Karnya’s trips, which starts on Monday, emphasizes his priorities – finance and strengthening of security – a natural suit for the economist who headed the Central Bank in Canada and Britain. A statement from his cabinet states that his visit was intended “to strengthen our two closest and long economic and safe partnerships.”

Its route is also full of great symbolism.

Karni revealed it on Friday during the first speech of the Prime Minister when he heard back – with a brilliant varnish – to the origins of this former colony. He said hello “a miracle of a country built on the basis of three peoples: indigenous, French and British.”

Thus, there is the third place in this round “SPL-Stop” -Ikaluite, the capital of the northernmost territory of Canada Nunavut and its homeland. At this stop, the statement is emphasized to “confirm Canada’s Arctic Security and Sovereignty.”

The spectacular arctic and northern terrain is 40% of the land of the second largest country in the world. Its defense is a critical concern of the Canadian language in the midst of strengthening rivalry among world powers in the Arctic region depicted in the US, Russia, China and more; It is a cold war of all cold wars.

And there is a personal turn. Karni was born in a small city of Fort -Smith in the north -western territories near Nunavut.

His schedule emphasizes that it should also be a quick study in a new skill – retail. It is expected that the federal election, which must pass until October, will be called very quickly. Carney must prove that it can interact with voters, in English and French, as naturally as bankers and financial chiefs.

And he needs a proper political mandate. He provided a tremendous 86% vote when his liberal party decided to replace Justina Trudu, who left the post of Prime Minister Against the backdrop, he is growing calling to retire his own party after a decade.

But Karni has no place in the parliament; He still has no voting of Canadians.

His Liberal Party has just survived a dramatic reversal, Trump, as well as Trudu. The party, which seemed to lose and lost badly, is now related to its main conservative competitors in the elections.

It looks like the world leader, and understanding the world of tariffs and trade is a good look when you are running for a high office in the dark shadow of the external threat.

“I think the part of Mark Karni’s trip to Europe is to show that he can talk to other like-minded people at this very important moment,” reflects the famous Canadian historian Margaret McMilan.

Returning home, voters will decide whether it is considered.

Karni is sure to talk to Trump with Trump, privately, with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starr. Both of them are heavily to flatter the US president in public and push their case behind closed doors.

Many will watch Trump refers to Mark Carnia – he recently called the former Prime Minister of Canada “Governor Trudov”.

The new top Bolbatun in Canada talks hard.

A week ago, when Carney won the leadership of his party’s leadership, he addressed the national sports in Canada, hockey, which was long recorded in the rival of US teams. “Canadians are always ready when someone else throws gloves,” Carney said for confused applause.

“Don’t be mistaken, Canada will win.”

But everyone knows that this is not a game. Karni called this escalation trading war as “the greatest crisis of our lives.” More than 80% of Canada’s exports cross the border to the US.

Although there were several reports of Canadians flying to the United States, a recent poll of the Angus raid institute emphasized that 91% of the Canadians were dismissing, becoming 51st.

On Friday, in the icy cold weather, the Carney struck a warmer tone, emphasizing how he and Trump share the foundation in business, including real estate.

“The president is a successful entrepreneur and transaction. We are his largest client in so many branches,” he said. “Customers are waiting for respect and work together in proper commercial order.”

Carney says he is “waiting” to talk to President Trump. But the fact that it will be a call, not a visit is a measure of this moment. Traditionally, the first foreign visit of the Canadian leader is his closest neighbor and the most trusted partner.

On Monday, Carney sows with King Charles, head of Canada. Recently, the British monarch expressed his “deep commitment” to Canada, and is said to have been written by a private leader to the new Prime Minister.

In its non -political role, showing love in the public, there can be the limits of the King’s strength. But even this sends a message to the US president.

Sir Keir described Canada as an “ally, and a very important ally.” But last week, the head of the UK Liberal Democrats, Ed Davi, called on him to show more public support to Canada to resist “shocking” on his sovereignty.

It can be a week of this old proverb in diplomacy and politics – “do something and see what it does”.
