@wealthmoose If he tanked the deal over French language he’s an idiot. Do you know how much it would cost the US to put French on products?

[Johnny Boy @JohnnyB604]

@MarcNixon24 We’ll see how that.

[Johnny Boy @JohnnyB604]

@MarcNixon24 I don’t think he realizes how much drama an be done in 2 years. That’s a bad mess to send out to businesses

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

LETS WAIT 2 STRAIGHT YEARS

Wab Kinew genius plan is to wait 2 full years so that Donald Trump is gone before talking again to the Americans.

Is this guy retarded?

Then JD Vance becomes president and we wait 4 more years after that.

@catturd2 It’s sad that Canadians with TDS are willing to tank their economy over their distain for one person.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

LOL - we wouldn’t even notice.

Carney walked back many of his prior agreed to commitments !
And destroyed a deal that was basically consummated !

What a pathetic and incompetent team you Liberals elected !!

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

🚨 SOMEBODY ISN’T TELLING THE FULL STORY ABOUT THE 🇨🇦🇺🇸TRADE DEAL.

Washington and Ottawa are now giving Canadians two completely different explanations for why negotiations collapsed.

The U.S. says:

Canada declined to finalize terms agreed earlier this week
Canada introduced new demands
Canada walked back previous commitments
Canada continued retaliatory measures against U.S. goods
Washington offered major tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber
The deal included aerospace coordination, critical minerals, digital trade, export controls, forced-labour enforcement and formal USMCA negotiations

Now compare that with Ottawa.

Canada says:

Important progress had been made
The U.S. made last-minute changes
Those changes were unfair and uneconomic
Carney suspended negotiations and ordered Canadian negotiators home

That’s basically it.

No detailed explanation of WHAT Washington allegedly changed.

No list of the unacceptable provisions.

No explanation of which previously agreed terms were altered.

No detailed rebuttal of the U.S. claim that Canada introduced new demands.

No explanation of what Canada was being asked to concede in exchange for lower tariffs.

And that is the problem.

The U.S. has put substantially more detail into the public record than the Canadian government has.

That does NOT automatically mean Washington is telling the truth.

But if Ottawa’s version is accurate, Canadians deserve to see the evidence.

What exactly did the Americans change at the last minute?

Which provisions became “uneconomic”?

What commitments does Washington claim Canada walked back?

What did Canada demand that the U.S. refused?

There is also one fact neither side can really dispute:

Canada walked away.

Carney’s own statement says HE suspended negotiations and ordered Canada’s negotiators back to Ottawa.

Meanwhile, the U.S. says Canada was being offered significant reductions on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber potentially some of the most favourable treatment available to a major exporter.

Ottawa doesn’t really dispute that concessions were offered.

It says they simply weren’t enough.

So Canadians deserve the documents.

Release the negotiating framework from earlier this week.

Release the final U.S. proposal.

Show exactly what changed.

Because right now Washington is making specific allegations while Ottawa is asking Canadians to accept a much more generalized explanation.

If the U.S. really blew up the deal with last-minute demands, prove it.

If Canada walked back commitments, Canadians deserve to know that too.

What does Ottawa have to hide?

Release the terms.

@Tablesalt13 Zero transparency, we should see what they turned down instead of rhetoric speeches.

CBC’s Catherine Cullen just can’t help herself

Host of the CBC's flagship politics show on radio, she gushes over Wab Kinew as a “very potent political force,” “very charismatic,” “very well liked,” and treats his “begging” dig at Mark Carney like some profound inflection point that reveals an almost noble weakness from inside the federation

He’s not an adversary, she reminds us. He’s “like-minded.” He’s been “muscular.” He’s the one getting results

Now imagine the exact same language and framing if Danielle Smith had said it

The hyperventilation would be nuclear. “Divisive!” “Undermining national unity!” “Partisan attack!” CBC panelists would clutch pearls for days

But when it’s Wab? Soft lighting, glowing adjectives, and a solemn nod that this is somehow helpful insight for Canadians

CBC’s “non-partisan” mask slips again. They don’t even try to hide the favouritism anymore @cath_cullen @brodiefenlon

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

A lot of Canadians have been cheering on Wab Kinew, Manitoba’s premier over the past 24 hours because he is saying publicly he wants to fight Trump and not make a deal.

A few things on this.

1. He’s now causing Mark Carney and his team headaches.

Is Donald Trump about to SAVE Canada?

By Killing Bill C-18.

The law punished independent media while funneling millions toward the legacy media establishment.

If this is part of the trade deal, Trump may have just handed Canadian independent media a MASSIVE victory.
