Did the Canadian government learn nothing from the Air Canada flight attendants? We’re facing down a bully. Backing down is just going to invite more bullying.

Are we still holding ALL the cards?? 🤞 PM Carney has an ace or 2 up his sleeve. He has a pretty good poker face!

Regardless if he lifts tariffs - that DOESN’T guarantee we will buy their stuff. Maybe that’s why Carney made this decision. 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe he’s banking on us keeping our #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦💪🏻🇨🇦 I’m open to other theories…

Lol figures you would be against this. To the benefit of Canada, "to Hell with Canada" says the NDP. Another reason why I left your party.

What's your solution? Tariffs hurt Canadians.

That’s apples to oranges. Would the flight attendants have been successful w/o member solidarity and public support? Canada has done well but the level of national solidarity isn’t as strong as we need & global support is moderate, if that. Work with what is, not what we wish was. Just my opinion.

This is such fucking bullshit. It makes absolutely no sense.

What's a 100 times more effective than a tariff (or counter-tariff)? Continuing to just *not buy* American exports. At all.

You need to learn economics, the tax is on the importer and passed down to the Canadian consumer, pick a better fight to die on!

Carney is encouraging the bully because the bullying is aligned with his class interests! What Canadians want is beside the point. He’s acting perfectly rationally.

On CUSMA compliant items 85% of the total. The US is doing the same with CUSMA items.

Is this what we can expect from the NDP going forward? Criticisms that lack substance and just bait? We already have a party that does that.

Have YOU learned Nothing all summer?? Too busy showing off before you try out for Leader?? Get someone smart to explain negotiating to you!

Comparing a union negotiation with negotiating with a demented narcissistic sociopath is idiotic. Trump is a sucker for his ego being stroked. Why do you think Putin owns him? It’s a long game. We will win.

Trump is a malignant narcissist & a bully with power. Dealing with him is like not a school yard bully but an ex when $, property & children are involved. No options but to cooperate somehow. The position of one down actually has all the power & integrity. So 👏to Carney for finding a way forward.

Canada's trade with other countries has increased by 30% under Carney's leadership. Retaliation would be more satisfying but leave collateral damage. PM Carney's strategy is based on what's best for Canada. Pissing contests never end well. Speed of a resolution does not predicate success.
