    We don’t know what the final trade agreement will be.

    It doesn’t matter since Trump can reneg on it at any moment as he did with the previous one

    What Carney did here is signal trump that he will chicken out even faster than trump does at any tartrum he throws

      The US wiped its ass with first NAFTA, now CUSMA, it will wipe its ass with whatever comes from this shitshow. The US cannot be trusted. It’s signature is worthless on any documents. I hope this is all lip service and we are doing the real trade negotiation with the EU, Asia, Lat Am.

        precisely, which is why I see zero benefit in appeasing or even negotiating with the orange turd

          I’m of the opinion that letting Trump think he’s “winning” while playing backdoor politics with friendly nations to defend Canada’s interests is not a bad approach. If they can make it to the American midterms, hopefully he’ll get hamstrung and become a lame duck president. Assuming he doesn’t find some archaic way of overriding them…

            is that what we are doing or just wishful thinking?

            so far all I have seen from Carney is everything Trump would want. C2 takes Canada a step closer to a police state supposedly to fight fentanyl smuggling. C5 gives oil and gas a free ride and allows the envirioment to go to shit as long as oil and gas are making money

            if this is “pretending” to let trump win, I fail to see the difference to capitulating

            finally, there will be no midterm nor can we bend over and give trump everything for 2 years hoping what? that the Dems will save us? tüat’s beyond naive
