If you're going to be all "ra ra Canada" then please at least know what you're talking about.

Comments like this make it very evident you don't.

Not really. Unlike the US President, the Prime Minister of Canada can't do very much without the backing of the legislature and isn't technically the head of the government. Carney does have more power than an average House of Commons backbencher, but not that much more.

No he can't. Very few countries give a single person as much power as POTUS.

And then no Canadian airline can travel over any country airspace without signing individual treaties...
