Prime Minister Carney says Canada and the U.S. working together, as pals, can help make America great. While the U.S. Commerce Secretary simply says we “suck.” So, is Canada taking the high road to hell? Trade lawyer Barry Appleton explains why behaving like we’re still great friends with our southern neighbours could lead us into a world of economic pain.
If Carney actually believed any of that it would be very concerning. The reality is that tapping Trump along with nice public words is the obvious strategy for us, so it’s reasonable to assume most of it is just for show.
If you’re looking for something suspect from Carney, there’s pretty much the whole climate portfolio and some of the civil rights stuff, as often comes up in this community.
