It gives us cards to play, I realize Trump thinks the card game is 52 pickup but when trade talks start and it is not Trump making demands it whoever it is who will be doing the trade talks they will realize how backed into a corner they are and how they are likely going to get ketchup stains on their clothes when they get fired.
No, I speak as if Carney is the outlier. Maybe it will work, but it probably wont and those taxes will be added to the things people have decided to hold onto. Netflix and the like are going to get expensive. Canadians who have not decided to boycott the US will bend over and take it, while they fund the arts and technology sectors up here.
I love how many people are trying so hard to keep this idea of a clever Carney alive. He’s selling us iut and he was always going to sell us out. He’s not playing 4D chess, he’s rolling over for big, often foreign, business and doesn’t give fat fuck about us.
Hopefully this is just a CUSMA bargaining chip, not Carney bending us over.
What’s the difference?
Carney can go in saying “I removed the DST at the beginning of my term, and the streaming tax recently, what have you done for us?”
How does that play into getting us out of CUSMA?
Or is it just submission?

Like every other president the US will force whatever they want onto us and our options are to sell out or say no.
You speak like Trump is an outlier.

Carney’s loyalty to the US is an outlier but it’s unlikely the next PM will undo all the harm he’s done.
We had to wait for Trump to get out of NAFTA for example.
