"Last-minute changes in the US proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."

That is how trustworthy the US is. Even if they would sign a trade deal, it would not be worth the paper it was signed on.

Let the world move on without the US.

Good for Carney. I wish more world leaders would stand up for themselves.

Matching "dollar for dollar" is dumb. We have to do things that hurt us little while maximizing their squeal.

Digital Services Tax needs to go in immediately. Tax exports of electricity and fuel. Lift trademark and patent restrictions. Repeal or amend the Copyright Modernization Act to eliminate DMCA style fuckery.

We can hurt them while benefiting from removing their shitty policies forced on us.

We should not try to fight toe to toe.

lol canada was apparently doing a climbing down and agreeing to some of the terms until jd vance decided to open his stupid mouth

Hit the us where it hurts, stop respecting us digital locks and actually start repairing your tech

Canadian dollar to US dollar, seems good.

Besides, standing up to him is the only way to deal with TACO.

Spit in his face and wait 'til Tuesday.

Bravo to Carney saying no and to Canada standing on their feet! I stand with Canada, Elbows up!

Mr Carney said one reason the deal collapsed was US negotiators at the 11th hour introducing restrictions on Canadian trade deals with other countries.

I think this is the most important issue. The US administration is realising that other countries are making new deals around the US, and they are using trade pressure to revert that trend. Carney was right to reject the deal. It may hurt in the short term, but it also gives him the opportunity to develop new trade networks.

The problem in that scenario is that dollar for dollar will hurt the Canadian economy way more, as the American economy is literally 10 times bigger, it will also only hit USA 10% as much relatively.

We all need to boycott USA, because USA has become a rogue nation without respect for international law, and an international menace even to their "former" allies.

The followup article with Kinew moreorless matches my opinion on it. This isn't going to be resolved this Election cycle. Carney really needs to just say "At this point trade negotiations are a waste of time and will not be looked into until at least 2028 and then we will go from there" because it's clear even if optimal conditions are met, this US administration wouldn't be trusted to actually follow the agreement regardless, and making concessions with the US over it is just going to get in the way of the Canada first mentality they are attempting to head towards.

This trade deal thing was always kind of a wishy-washy. On one hand we don't want people to lose their jobs and face economic hardship. On the other hand we don't want to give in to the US. Americans think it's about Trump, but we know that while some of his tariffs would be dropped by another President, not all of them will be. This is how it's always been with trading with the US. Trump is more extreme than most Presidents, but Americans in general don't deal with us honestly.

This is going to be rough. People lose their jobs on both sides of the border. But at least now there's clarity. No more maybe we should make a deal maybe we shouldn't. Now there's only: Let's fucking go!

Fuck the States. Sell them no minerals. Buy no products.

Despite the US offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market. new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days," he said, "This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States, which is the fastest growing economy in the G7," the USTR added further

yeah, I don't care. you don't settle for a weekend of preferential treatment by an abusive partner

Let The Fun Begin! - Critical Minerals/NOPE - More Hydro Electric Energy/NOPE - Canadians Drinking American Booze/NOPE - Canadians Deciding To Visit The States In Big Numbers Like They Used To Before/NOPE - It's high time that our Canadian government, and all Canadians stand unwaveringly strong on this never ending train of ridiculous tariffs! ✅

Fuck America. I'd chew off my own arm to deny them the meat.

all this just to stop epstein/ghislaine from spilling into the airwaves.

Canadas taken its toys and gone home. The US hasn’t figured out it doesn’t have its own to play with yet.
