‼️ BREAKING: Carney stated that there was 3 last-minute changes that the US had asked for which led to the breakdown of negotiations.

But when you look closer at the three items that he listed, you will understand that these were NEVER last minute to changes.

They were always on the table.

One side is lying.

And that same side, has lied to Canadians in the past about previous dealings with America.

What exactly has David Eby done to help people of BC.

He promised $1,000 per tax payer refund and ripped it up because of Trump.

He gave his staff a 20% wage increase and called it a day.

🇺🇸 Sean Duffy has a point here :

"The fact we provide their security for them, and they take advantage of us? ... I think you're gonna see Mark Carney come to the table very very quickly, because it's gonna be devastating for his country."

What do you think ?🤔

It won’t be so funny Carney when so many companies close or move production to the USA creating unprecedented job loses !
Your misplaced ego is ruining Canada !

"Dairy farmers are smart, and they know how to influence politicians. But the Canadian public is beginning to realize that something doesn’t add up: the sector is protected and subsidized, yet milk is still being dumped without proper public disclosure or accountability."

JUST IN: USTR says the deal Carney rejected would have:

ELIMINATED Section 232 tariffs on softwood lumber
Cut auto tariffs to 15%
Cut most steel tariffs to 25% under a quota
Cut aluminum tariffs to 25%

We are finding this out from the 🇺🇸 not 🇨🇦

Carney said they gave little

[Clyde Do Something 🇺🇸🇨🇦 @ClydeDoSomethin]

This might be a great time to point out that more than 90% of Mark Carley’s investments are in the USA.

[Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine]

I can’t help but wonder if this was the goal… polls confirmed that Canadians didn’t think Carney was “standing up to Trump” enough.

Not having a deal is politically ideal for the Liberals. With one, they’d have to actually focus on domestic Canada again. No more Trump scapegoat… Not in the same way at least.

What if, the deal was actually not bad for Canada and it would have put an end to all this anti-Americanism insanity?

What if, Carney’s plan was always going to be to say “no. It’s a bad deal for Canada”. Which we would be none the wiser to—so that he could score more political points with people who were losing trust and approval in him?

Maybe that’s why he went on a vacation to Italy… he didn’t need to be present for anything, he didn’t really care. No deal is bad news for Canada… but good news for the liberal establishment. Maybe that was always the goal with this.

This is the part Canadians need to pay attention to. 🇨🇦

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says Washington was prepared to CUT tariffs on some of the industries Canada cares most about steel, autos and lumber and Canada walked away. (ABC7 Chicago)

Ottawa tells Canadians the Americans changed the deal at the last minute.

Washington says Canada introduced new demands and backed away from commitments.

Those are two fundamentally different accounts of how a negotiation affecting hundreds of billions in trade collapsed.

And now the bill arrives:

50% U.S. tariffs on roughly $20 BILLION of Canadian goods.
Canadian retaliation.
Businesses caught in the middle.
Workers absorbing the uncertainty. (Reuters)

Forget the nationalism for a moment.

If both governments are blaming each other for blowing up the deal, Canadians deserve to know exactly what was on the table when Canada walked away.

Release the terms.

Because history should not have to guess who blew up one of the world’s most important trading relationships.

[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.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

LOL - we wouldn’t even notice.

[Concerned Canadian @Concern70732755]

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.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

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
