Duh. No one elected them to go elbows down. Gonna be a short lived minority.

    I'm of the opinion that letting Trump think he's "winning" while playing backdoor politics with friendly nations to defend Canada's interests is not a bad approach. If they can make it to the American midterms, hopefully he'll get hamstrung and become a lame duck president. Assuming he doesn't find some archaic way of overriding them...

    is that what we are doing or just wishful thinking?

    so far all I have seen from Carney is everything Trump would want. C2 takes Canada a step closer to a police state supposedly to fight fentanyl smuggling. C5 gives oil and gas a free ride and allows the envirioment to go to shit as long as oil and gas are making money

    if this is "pretending" to let trump win, I fail to see the difference to capitulating

    finally, there will be no midterm nor can we bend over and give trump everything for 2 years hoping what? that the Dems will save us? tüat's beyond naive
