We know that "revitalizing" in this case means a certain amount of divergence from the US. But it is NOT an insult. More than that, tRump will interpret it positively.

PM Carney also called tRump a "transformative president", which is true. Canadians and intelligent Americans with integrity know that the transformation is negative, but again, it is carefully crafted so that tRump will interpret it positively. Canadian commentary is definitely saying that it appears there is some stabilization of the relationship (at a low point) and that Carney was personally warmly received. If there had been insults tRump would have reacted the way he did against Zelenskyy.

Carney made no insults. Canadians know how to insult. They are polite, so when they do insult, there is no question about it.
