@DavidMcLA Sort of agree but with some trepidation. I think it's not a good time to be an ordinary person. I suspect a lot will be taken. So far it seems only Trickle Down Economics is reigning supreme.
@Averyflash@lngcanada Now they need to improve the technology on Canada 1 to make it work the way it was promised. Then they can do it correctly on Canada 2 right off the bat.
@jkenney This is bad for many reasons. The activities on October 7 has lead to the destruction of Gaza and the deaths of 10s of thousands of Gazan citizens. Celebrating October 7 as good for them is idiotic.
@jkenney@ylc_jlc@nick_aboagye@CPC_HQ The vast majority of seniors are not wealthy. The wealthy constitute the same proportion as the overall society. Many use CHIP and other methods to stay in their own homes. Inflation eats away at their income from even indexed pensions. Senior care is expensive.
@DavidMcLA She has bent over backwards. She is in a bind of her own making but given the Highwood reaction she knows what's brewing. "Normal" people need to become involved at the riding level and retake them in the name of "normal" not "fringe".
@DavidMcLA@CPC_HQ And separatists. It's the same people attaching themselves to causes that are "anti government" regardless of the topic. They always know more. Everyone else is either impeding them or just blind.
@jkenney@CPC_HQ We need unions to represent workers. As individuals it's tough to raise your voice. We also need good faith bargaining. If agreements can't be reached then a third party should be able to look at both sides positions and work on a compromise which would be binding. Less disruptio
@jkenney@CPC_HQ Trump likes working with other corrupt leaders just like himself. I'm sure his son's will soon be in partnership with a Russia/Belarusian potassium producer.
@althiaraj Which before the war in Ukraine caused a big problem for Saskatchewan potassium producers. Funny how the USA is game to play with regimes like that but wants to tariff Canada. Almost like he wants to work where corruption matches his own.
Here’s the problem with simply “making a deal” with the U.S. as this article suggests. Mexico and the United States are not negotiating a new CUSMA, and that’s not even being reported by anyone. This is poor framing. Both Mexico and Canada are negotiating interim bilateral deals outside of CUSMA with the U.S.
It is obvious that the United States is using high tariffs on Canada and Mexico to extract trade concessions from both countries before the formal CUSMA negotiations begin, which are set now for 2027.
If Mexico wants to weaken their position in order to seek temporary reprieve from U.S. tariffs, that’s fine. Remember that Mexico is in a far weaker position than Canada to begin with. We shouldn’t try to mirror Mexico in any way. But what this article is asking Carney and the Canadian side to do doesn’t make much sense. Any concessions today to hammer out an interim bilateral deal with the U.S. will never be given back to Canada in formal CUSMA negotiations.
So why weaken your own hand before the real negotiations actually even start?
Stephen Harper was right.
