I detest giving the orange goon 1 millimetre let along rescinding the DST yet I am going to sit back and reserve judgment. Optically looks like crap and yet, I know that sometimes, in negotiations, the way to get what you want is to let the other side "think" they are getting to you only to tie it up nicely later. Am I engaging in wishful thinking? Maybe and I sure hope not.
I'm sorry I paid to subscribe to this kind of naive crap, Rachel. Knee jerk pandering to the folks who want to believe Carney was a mistake. Canada has been a part of a group of countries looking at imposing a DST for quite a while. Last fall, the Trudeau government got impatient and decided to impose its own tax. Apparently the Trump crowd didn't even know it was in the works until it was announced last week. D'oh! An easy peasy give on the part of our government and no doubt part of a larger, long term strategy. Read your Sun Tzu.
It is disturbing, but the countries with the DTS are less closely tied to the USA economically. I wonder if MC is playing a long game and trying to keep as many jobs as possible until we better our trading relationships with others and have Trump-proofed our jobs better. Sometimes losing the battle helps win the war.
Optics wise it looks bad but I will reserve judgment until the trade talk is done and see what the overall result is. Carney is the best person to negotiate this with the US and I don't know that anybody would be able to get a better outcome for Canada than he can. Trump and Karoline Leavitt can do their juvenile "victory" declaration all they want. We will see who is the one laughing at the end.
Trump isn't going to honour any trade deal--he never was, and he never will, even without this tax. He may come to the table again, and he may strike a deal, but he won't honour it. He's a gangster only out for himself. He doesn't care about regular American people much less Canada and Canadians. Carney caving is futile. I'm so sick of dealing with the gangster's bullshit.
Ridiculous. What is even on or off the table in this negotiation? Because it seems like Carney is doing all the moving and Trump is rewarded for negotiating on social media
She's prettier than you. You must be super pissed off. Obviously she's much smarter as well: at least she chose the winning side. As for you, you're losing your credibility – have fun! As for the topic on hand, grow up & see the big picture – What side of a giant do you want to be on? Carney did what he had to. Common little one, debate me on any subject rather than choosing people who agree with you.
Aren't you the snotty, arrogant know-it-all in the crowd. You wanna debate? Fly at it, child. I love spearing over-inflated egos. No sport in it, of course. Sorta like shooting dead fish floating belly up in a barrel, but it's fun in a minor diversionary sort of way. Come on, hit me, dude.
Sorry Mark, but submitting to Pharaoh in advance after he reflexively plays attack dog for the tech Broligarchy sure AF looks like that Hate Barbie is right
Caved or strategic? I say strategic because he is looking at the end game. Let Trump think he won.
The trade talks are back on and the goal is to get to free trade or as close as possible to it.
I say caved because you give trump an inch and he will take a mile.
It’s not negotiations it’s extortion.

I already wrote to my MP (Anita Anand) complaining about this, and shared that on Facebook.

I will reserve judgement and see how the situation unfolds https://www.facebook.com/reel/4035478373391262
I agree with you on Karoline Leavitt being creepy. If I used such terms, I would use another 'c' word to describe her...
