Carney is not a stupid man. He knows that Spraytan will not call him.
In the days of the original round of tariffs; our then-PM acted with some degree of panic, flooding Washington and Florida with attempts to negotiate and make an agreement.
Carney is saying that has ended. We aren’t pursuing them, we aren’t playing this game anymore.
Until they respect our sovereignty we will refuse to deal with them. They rip up treaties? Fine. Block trade? Fine. We can respond with policy actions and don’t need to discuss it with them.
If the Americans want to talk about how to stop the trade war escalation or fucking anything else, they permanently cease the 51st state and invasion threats. Period.
You are not dealing with a fool.
