    What could he have caved on? Carney seems to understand that a country can impose any tariff that it wants and there is nothing he or Canada can do about that. All they can do is focus on the response. Trudeau and Ford rushing over to the US to beg for exemptions didn’t exactly play well.

    Carney said he would not talk to Trump until he respected Canadian sovereignty. Trump did not call him governor or refer to Canada as the 51st state. At the very least it’s a step forward in discourse which no one else has acheived up until this point.

      Renegotiating security/economic relationship after election, may very well mean fewer Canadian exports/GDP, more US weapons purchases, and continued hatred/divisiveness with everyone US orders us to engage in. The disgusting lie that we need a broken bomber-biased plane, the F35, to defend against Russian Arctic invasion is simply evil treason made by foreign allied puppets that steal from Canada. Also, at issue, whatever new deal is signed will have US for sure commit forever to upholding its end.
