The newly elected Carney told Sky News that the UK's invitation earlier this year did not help Canadians, who were facing repeat comments from Trump about making Canada the 51st US state.

"To be frank, [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture... given the circumstance," he said. "It was at a time when we were being quite clear about the issues around sovereignty."

Off all people he should know that the UK is in ass-kiss damage control mode since Brexit. He was literally one of the people they called to fix it.

He seems to have more faith in the UK holding its ground morally than King Charles or Kier Starmer does.
