I think that PM Carney is awaiting the ruling from the WTO on the legality of the tariffs. Don't know what effect that would have on DT. We'll see.

And on top of it all he keeps giving Canada a shit kicking endlessly repeating his 'broken' schtick, attacking our hard working Prime Minister every chance he gets. Sick of this guy.

Keep talking to us Prime Minister. I see some people losing heart and in need some words of reassurance.
Remember, say it and say it often. I have trust and faith in you and stand with the other Canadians who do.
Canada Strong! Go Team Canada!

And so he is setting limits. No deal is better than a bad deal. So far, no deal with the US but deals with other countries made and continue to develop.

I feel sorry for the PM having to deal with this madman, taking his shit without argument so that he can try to get a deal for Canada.
How would the DT administration take it if we didn't show up? Well? I doubt it so when PM Carney does what he has to do I stand in support of him & Team Canada.

It’s hilarious how some people think the PM should just be able to snap his fingers and all his plans instantly come true…

…He just needs some magic dust. Like the kind Poilievre must have according to his pie in the sky promises

Good news! I thought all along that 1st Nations would need a lot of convincing to accept another pipeline. There is much resistance all round in BC to another pipeline that would risk our coast. "Ottawa would act as a “constructive participant” referee more like it. Thank goodness PP has no say.

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

Let’s be clear about what Alberta is proposing:

BC loses billions of dollars of major projects from private investors.

AND Canadian taxpayers are forced to pay billions more because there is no interest from a private company.

That’s not fair. And fairness is a Canadian value.

Yes, I saw that. I was wondering if PM Carney has a vindictive bone in his body. I'd like to think so for I believe the PM could make DT pay personally, financially somehow for all the crap he said but I kind of don't think so. It would go against his principles.
