Been quietly stalking X and the usual gaggle of idiots defending Carney are moving the goalposts again to make it look like a win. Some are staying it is because he's not "giving in" to extortion and intimidation while others are claiming it was never a big deal in the first place because it only affects non-USCMA goods (around 10-15% of exports). If that were the case, then why did they treat it like an existential threat months earlier? The truth is that a plurality voted for Carney's Liberals because he promised that he was the only one with the necessary skills to negotiate a deal with Trump. The truth is that the UK, Japan, EU, and others managed to negotiate deals with the Trump administration. Maybe not so beneficial for them, but better than if they took a hardline stance.
Canada. Canada has shown an uncanny affinity for inflicting self-harm on itself for the last decade for the most absurd of reasons. First it was for virtue signaling and validation from Trudeau's UN/WEF cohorts, and now it's solely out of spite for one man. Our ruling class are unserious ideologues and too much of the populace is either too apathetic, ignorant, or complacent (or some combination of the three) to truly hold the elites to account. What they want is to keep the decaying status quo intact. Carney's Liberals most likely bungled this because they expected the US to accede to our demands without giving any concessions in return. They better hope that protecting the dairy cartel was worth it.
