      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?”

          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.

            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.

              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.

                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.
