> “The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression,” said Carney in the nearly 10-minute-long address. “Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become our weaknesses; weaknesses that we must correct.”
That last bit is remarkably blunt. I think that alludes to how the CUSMA trade talks are evolving. Interesting times.

Let’s start by declaring Peter Hoekstra as persona non grata & sending him back to whatever hole he slithered out of. If Canada wants to sever ties with the USA (hint: we do) then this is the logical first step. The next is skipping out on any “trade meetings” the US invites Canada to. We all know that any “deal” struck won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on, so why bother. Somebody tell Dominic LeBlanc to stop taking Jamieson Greer’s phone calls & let’s start concentrating on our true allies & partners.
