    Yes it’s too late, we were lazy and relied on trade solely with the U.S. as it was easy.

    Carney has a clear mandate, Canadians want to trade less with the Americans and more with other like minded countries. The U.S. can never be trusted again, every 4 years or so we will be crossing our fingers hoping they don’t elect an imbecile again.

    Supply chains are forming with other countries, trade is being negotiated as well as happening already. Will it be as profitable, probably not, but it’s the right thing to do for Canada.

      You know this to be true, I know this to be true. Our politicians? Here in Sweden the politicians never stopped gargling Ami cock, so I’m not expecting anything.

      “They” here means the US?

      Anyway, the idea that removing the tariffs is for the other countries’ benefit is just ridiculous.

          They are:

          https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/top-us-house-democrat-trade-issues-committed-reversing-unjustified-tariffs-2026-11-06/

          WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - US Representative Richard Neal, the Democrat who is expected to regain the chairmanship of the tax- and trade-focused ​House Ways and Means Committee, said on Friday that he ‌is committed to reversing President Donald Trump’s “unjustified” tariffs and “backroom deals” on trade.

          In an address to a trade conference hosted by the Biden administration’s former ​US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, Neal said Trump’s “deliberately chaotic ​and unjustified trade policies” had contributed to rising living ⁠costs and growing inequality between workers and the wealthiest Americans.

          I still wouldn’t trust us as far as you can throw us.
