That's what I'm talking about. The guy lives on flattery and impression of success. They ask for a foot, Carney give them an inch and the orange king celebrates. Yes, we gave up on some fronts, but what we got in return is big. And we kept our major leverage up our sleeve.
Also, what have we gotten in return? We still have the 35% tariffs, right? And the extra tariffs on certain resources. And we gave up DST and the retaliatory tariffs. DT still hasn't acknowledged our sovereignty, and he is now saying that our lumber exports are a natl security threat for the US.
DT says a lot of things most of which is made up. He won't publically acknowledge our sovereignty and even if he did it wouldn't matter. What we got was more negotiating time. The name of the US game is chaos, and while it would be great to walk away or punch back we can't really do either.
Part of what we are giving up is in the upcoming bill C2, which gives the government permission to collect more data about us and give it to the States... So they would know things like our medical data and what organizations we belong to, etc.
