Justin Trudeau wants to revive UK-Canada trade talks in shadow of Trump - eviltoast

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing to restart stalled trade talks with the U.K. as Canada seeks to reduce reliance on the U.S. amid Trump’s trade war.

While Trudeau secured a temporary delay on U.S. tariffs by agreeing to border security measures, uncertainty remains.

Talks with the U.K. broke down last year over agricultural disputes, but Canada sees renewed negotiations as beneficial for trade diversification.

    I mean there’s no right wing party in Canada either. The one we had has lost serious momentum over this.

    He doesn’t joke. He said tariffs are coming for Europe and they will. Canada 51st state isn’t a joke.

    To be honest Canada’s feeling pretty alone and abandoned by the international community. Other allies should also be standing up to this nonsense. This isn’t how we all stand up to bullies.

    I don’t think it’s a factor about him being old. He’s a figurehead. It’s the tech bro billionaires and ghouls he’s putting in place to operationalize their own plans. This includes dismantling democracy. That’s not just going to stop with the US.

    They’ll be coming at you guys soon enough. Best to figure out which side you’re on.

      I very much agree, but the UK has shown that it wants to be a bully itself by pulling out of the EU. Trump parallels with the rise of the third Reich, and appeasement politicians were proven wrong in the 30s. But until Trump literally invades we won’t see anyone really stand-up is my bet. The economics are what is dictating this ultimately. Don’t be in deficit to America
