We Are Celebrating NOT Getting A Deal. What Is Wrong With Us?
from Tap The Maple · host Hosted By Chris Baker
Canada has been hit with new 50% U.S. tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian goods. Mark Carney has retaliated with Canadian tariffs, trade negotiations have been suspended — and somehow Canadians are celebrating.But celebrating WHAT?Mark Carney was sold to Canadians as the crisis manager uniquely qualified to handle Donald Trump and protect Canada's economic relationship with the United States. After nearly 18 months of negotiations, deadlines, promises and assurances of progress, Canada still doesn't have the comprehensive trade agreement it wanted.Instead, we have new tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, suspended negotiations and another enormous dose of uncertainty for Canadian businesses.You can believe Donald Trump's tariffs are wrong AND demand accountability from Canada's prime minister.You can support Canadian workers AND question Canada's negotiating strategy.And you can be incredibly proud to be Canadian without pretending every decision made by the Canadian government is a Canadian victory.In this episode of Tap the Maple | Bakes On Things, we're asking the question getting buried beneath today's wave of patriotism:What exactly did Canada win?#Canada #MarkCarney #DonaldTrump #CanadaUSTrade #CanadaTariffs #TrumpTariffs #CanadianPolitics #CanadaPolitics #TradeWar #CanadaUS #USTariffs #CanadianEconomy #CanadaEconomy #BuyCanadian #CanadaFirst #CanadianPride #TradeDeal #Carney #Trump #Tariffs #BreakingNews #CanadaNews #PoliticalCommentary #TapTheMaple #BakesOnThings #cdnpoli
