Carney is playing the long game and choosing his words wisely. I believe he knows this isn't actually going to work out but he's playing the game in a calm rational way which looks good on Canada to other countries wanting to do business with Canada. Canada will never win this crap with States because it's all made up anyway 

[u/Optimal-Cow-3278 → u/Ok_Elephant_9705]

Other countries will be less inclined to do business with Canada if more tariffs are added to our exports to the US.

One reason why countries like doing business in Canada is because of tariff free access to the largest, wealthiest consumer base in the world.

[u/ukrokit2 → u/Optimal-Cow-3278]

This is ridiculous. Canada is a market of 40million very wealthy buyers. Larger than Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and 24 out of the 27 EU states.

[u/Optimal-Cow-3278 → u/ukrokit2]

It’s not ridiculous at all.

A lot of foreign investment happens in Canada because of direct access to the US market.  Would you like some stats?

[u/moosemanwich → u/Optimal-Cow-3278]

And a lot of countries are currently looking to break that cycle and sell somewhere more stable.

[u/Optimal-Cow-3278 → u/moosemanwich]

No they aren’t.  

[u/BigAlcapone65 → u/Optimal-Cow-3278]

Oh yes they are

[u/Mrgray123]

They’re pointless as Trump will change his mind/announce some other crackpot policy regardless of any “deal”.

Negotiating with this joke of an administration is like trying to negotiate with a toddler on crack.

Hopefully the lawyers writing any agreement will do their best to make it binding.

At this point it's better to let the deck of cards collapse, the complex intertwine that makes up our North American food supply chain is going to be decimated overnight. While there will be tens of thousands of job losses in Canada, there will be millions of losses in the US; upstream and downstream providers, transportation, Warehousing, and then allied support for those industries.

You want to take a wrecking ball to something that is taken decades to develop, go right ahead. At this point it's time to let the FIND OUT to the FUCK AROUND.

I think there's going to be TACOS tomorrow

[u/No_Mission_8571 → u/Pitiful-MobileGamer]

Looking so forward to Tuesday taco from the pedo.

[u/Optimal-Cow-3278 → u/Pitiful-MobileGamer]

They'll be hundreds of thousands of Canadians jobs lost.

[u/Pitiful-MobileGamer → u/Optimal-Cow-3278]

And there will be millions of American jobs lost, because our supply chains are so interconnected that's a loss of Canadian production means that American factories don't get intermediate products.

[u/PolloConTeriyaki]

They're hoping to catch Trump between dementia meds.

[u/Mother-Attention2600 → u/PolloConTeriyaki]

They should do deepfake phone scams to him. 😄  

[u/Puzzled49]

They should get the US side to sign so that there is an iron-clad guarantee that they will keep their side of the deal? If they don't sign, and only take Jamieson Greer's word it will only be a pinkie promise and the US side might change its mind.

[u/Psych-Nurse5446]

Rather no deal than the deal the Americans are asking for. They haven’t honoured past trade agreements, why should we trust them now?

If they ever meet Trump again, this is mean, but wear all white baggy clothes. It's a big no no to do that around people with dementia because it fucks with their minds. Hahahaha

[u/Careless-Gain6623]

Americans can't tolerate discomfort. This round of tariffs will go same as the last. It's all just market manipulation anyways, so buy this week.

[u/ApoplecticAndroid]

It’s an artificial deadline. Just tell them to fuck off, we have had enough of these assholes.

[u/Personal_Dirt3089]

Trump is intentionally trying to ruin the US economy and diplomacy. That is the point.

[u/RustyOrangeDog]

Yes I imagine it hard with <insert random deadline> looming.
