Another point would be that Carney understands exactly what Taco is like and entered negotiations knowing the US wouldn't negotiate in good faith.

Love this! The Americans have centred themselves in every negotiation with other countries since forever, bullying smaller countries like my own for THEIR advantage. They don't understand negotiating as equals.

Carney said Trump signs deals in pencil. He knew. He planned for this months ago.

I have believed Carney expected the last minute changes since it is what he always does

The speed and detail in the counter tariffs suggest a readiness for no deal, along with the repeated warning, “everything is on the table”

we don't need the deal, it's a deal of convenience, not one of need.

The French language was not a redline and the USA wasn’t the one who brought in the last minute deal. Carney has lied to us many times so although I want to stand with Canada but the truth is we are being lied to

Well said. Trump has been publicly making 51st state insults for almost 2 years. Carney came into power last year with a strategic plan given the reality he faced.

What an incredible take. A refreshing change from the usual noise. I’m really enjoying sitting under the apple tree.

Gas up, inflation up, bonds up concerningly, affordability down, jobs down, Trumps approval down, a looming debt crisis and an unpopular war. And midterms are coming with Canadian tariffs targeting vulnerable Rep senate seats.

The US once again “ unwittingly “ handed Carney the support he required to walk away.

I think we should wait it out. Increase electricity and diversifying, as you say, but we have only 2 years to go.

my view.. Trump wanted Can to drop required french on labels at last min.. seems like a small ask..But to do that Carney would have to call back parliament to vote to change all laws and bills that have both language required on importants. And any party that Proposes removing French is political suicide. it wouldn't pass and be a non confidence, and we would he in elections. So simple he had 2 options reject or Cause an election and be 18 months before a deal could be made.

Canada was trying to negotiate a deal, the US was trying to negotiate cultural takeover.

We have a deal already. But improving it makes sense. The usa want to break us to own us.
