Carney laughs at Trump’s claim that Canada will apologize in 3-4 weeks
What was Mark Carney laughing at? According to the title of the Global News clip, it was Donald Trump's claim that Canada would be apologizing within three to four weeks. The video passed 200,000 views within six hours of going up.
That is a fast start for this channel. A new Global News upload usually has a modest first day, and this one was on course for roughly twenty-seven times that. It took off while the rest of the channel was running well below its normal daily pace, and other big news channels, from NowThis Impact to TMZ, were quieter than usual too.
The man doing the laughing spent years as a central banker before politics. He ran the Bank of Canada through the 2008 financial crisis and then moved to London to run the Bank of England.
The last time Global News had a breakout, it was a fictional newscast about a rogue AI. This time a real exchange across the border is carrying the channel.
