RE:Tariffs long but worth the readTrump's go to tactics rely upon getting Canada and Mexico to the bargaining table quicker than Canada and Mexico would like to be there. Niether Canada nor Mexico believed for one second that the USMCA would be comprehensively renegotiated a short 4 years following Trumps first term in office. How wrong they were, the senior political administration representatives of both Canada and Mexico.
For many reasons, Chrystia Freeland resiged as Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Finance Minister today and all the sycophants surrounding the Canadian Prime Minister have each prepared their way into the private sector, so as to cash in on the precise ways in which a Conservative led Canadian Government policies directive are going to march lockstep (more like goose-steping) with and behind the Donald J. Trump White House dictated national and global policies directives.
During these next four years, I expect Canadian politicians subjecting "The Peoples of Canada to more fiscal pain than most Canadians could have ever imagined possible and such Conservative Canadian led politicians giving away the remainder of what Brian Mulroney, - another walking dil and do - hadn't already given away when entering the initial free trade agreement deal amongst Canada and the U.S. would be foregone conclusions.
I digress - not really.
