We have recognised from the beginning that America has changed, and that we will not return to our old relationship. Our government understood, before many, that America is altering all its trade relationships. Putting tariffs on its closest allies and charging for access to its vast market.
This is probably the best outcome we could’ve hoped for as Canadians. It’s far from an ideal situation, but at least we kept a shred of dignity in the end. I’m personally extremely disappointed in Carney for taking these negotiations as seriously as he has been, when it’s obvious to everyone else the US is simply not interested in a mutually beneficial relationship. They only seek to exploit us and our resources for the sake of their own egos, like some kinda colonial playground bully.
The only worthwhile response is to give them nothing, and point and laugh as they hurt themselves trying to do something about it.
