@cbcwatcher Trump/Lutnick/Bessent et al have the rapacious New York finance sector mindset. When you're the bigger player, the first deal you offer is the best. If it's not accepted you keep squeezing until the other side concedes. Carney/LeBlanc are lambs going to be slaughtered.
@FlavioVolpe1 I think he believes a lower Cdn$ gives manufacturers an incentive to build in Canada and sell into the US. Revenues in US$, costs in Cdn $ (.70 of US$). So in his mind, If currencies were at par jobs would move to USA.
