A telling excerpt from the PMO statement:
"They [Canada's negotiators] have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute. However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."
I sense that Team Donnie Dementia can't keep themselves from renegotiating their own deal before it's even made.
Maybe the fucking Canadian paper can link copies of the PM's statements rather than a link to Shitter-X. The PM's office typed the dam statements out as a press release AND also posted them to Shitter-X. So the actual messages are out there.
Wow I found them. They have a whole bunch of them. Almost bike they are a professionally run office and not a child spamming stuff on social media for likes.
I think a digital services tax may be in order
What a wild day.... this morning the news was that we were about to give in to a lot of stuff and we were mad at carney
Now it seems the PM has shown he has a spine and seemingly redeemed himself
sooooo US alcoholic off shelves again?
All right, Carney got saved from himself
Cool, so what we already knew was going to happen, happened.
Colour me shocked. Glad to know we wasted so much time trying to negotiate with what may as well be a bunch of shit-flinging apes when we could have been putting more focus in more deals with the EU, establishing CANZUK, and literally any other endeavour that doesn't include the U.S..
They could do some pretty asymmetric stuff. Order tne entire government off Xitter and Facebook for instance.
By bringing non-starters at the negotiations, it's maga themselves that suspended trade talks. They never wanted to negotiate and just wanted to waste everyone's time.
Canada/Carney should have discussions directly with auto makers, Deere, Caterpillar, Boeing to discuss what they can do to keep Canadian market access. Auto sales in Canada were the same level as UK and France, despite half the population in 2024. Competition to Deere/Caterpillar for China is 10x better value.
On AI, Ford said something stupid about if Ontario doesn't build them, then Trump will. Huawei has a 50% cost advantage over Nvidia, and there are plenty of open models optimized for it. These models can be tuned for Canada if they need be, but the point would be that serving open models at low latency to Americans and Canadians is good competition to US.
Norad is how the US survives only thanks to Canadian cooperation. Canada has been very weak in continuing military integration, and "values", with the US. It's time for US to pay their fair share for our assistance in their survival.
