When you're owned....and it's obvious that Canada is owned by China.

Carney barker isn't up to the job. Either that or the "commonwealth" is being run by Brussels. Start by getting those damn fires out. WTH

My opinion: Carney hates Trump because Carney is a lefty in the mold of US liberals. It’s repulsive for those people to work with Trump. Not sure what Carney is thinking here. He has zero economic leverage. Canada is protected by the U.S. security umbrella.

This is a very good explanation of the trade negotiations with these two countries. In short, Donald Trump does not play.

When these tariffs land especially on maple, I wonder if woke companies like Costco that huge quantities will help offset by raising prices on American maple in their stores .

Interesting how Canada sees itself as fighting back toward the US. But it has no leverage so is destined to fail. Over the last decade Canada seems to be captured by the global NWO resulting in minimal growth. A government that harms its citizens?
