#Carney said #Canada will lift retaliatory duties by Sept. 1, b/c DJT reassured him that removing tariffs on CUSMA goods would boost talks. Can ๐บ๐ธ be trusted? #Kinew says, " #Canadians want us to fight for this country we love so much.This doesn't seem to match the moment." Do you agree? #cdnpoli
Small businesses that haven't yet found alternatives to US supplies/markets didn't need a tariff and many now are grappling with removal of the low value exemption. Trust or no trust these owners and their employees need to survive the transition
No one can make someone buy something if they don't want to.
Remove tariffs on stuff Canada doesnโt make is smart. We leave the dumb moves to Trump. We must help Trump with US tariffs that hurts US, like tariffs on steel, aluminum and potash which they canโt make more. Put Canadian expsurcharges on them to make US people really feel.
โOur hard pivot away from an unreliable dictator begins in earnest with Carneyโs trip to the EUโ โEurope needs reliable energy, minerals, & defense capacity. Canada needs long-horizon offtakes, co-production, & predictable procurement. Thatโs a swap we can bank.โ open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...
