Don’t negotiate with terrorists. His words are worthless because he doesn’t honour them. We need to shift pur economy away from the US right the fuck now.

    I would’ve rather we had the tariffs to be honest than negotiate with a compulsive liar with no ethics.

      Not sure how much negotiating we have done. Nothing was committed to Trump that was not already in progress other than the “Fentanyl Cxar” ( whatever that means ). Probably it means giving that dumb American title to somebody already in charge of the border.

      Trump got played.

      The responsibility lies with Canadians now to wean ourselves off American products until a friendlier administration gets into office.

        It would hurt us, for sure, but I agree. It’s one of many things other countries need to be doing to pick up the void our government is creating on the world stage. Canada needs to look out for Canada at this point and not even pretend to give the OrangeSh*tPile what he needs to say “I won!”
