Ministers Dominic LeBlanc and Francois-Philippe Champagne, along with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Canada's ambassador, met with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Thursday.
This statement came after the meeting with Doug and the fed ministers.
Yeah I was reading yesterday that the spat with Canada is hugely unpopular with American citizens. Even many GOP voters don’t want it. I suspect that the US will keep tariffs up and continue being a pain in the ass, but they will shift their military threats elsewhere. The recent news of the US planning an invasion of Panama seems more possible and would easier for them to sell to the US people. It would still be economic suicide, though.
Hopefully, Canadian leaders are wise enough to take the threats to Canada’s sovereignty extremely seriously. It should be their number one priority. Just because the Dollar Menu aficionado in the White House says something that seems baffling on its surface doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be planning for the worst.
Absolutely. It does seem as though the new Carney government is up to the task, but we do have an election coming so we shall see.
That said, the Cons are not polling particularly good right now and it would be easy for the Liberals to form coalition with the NDP, Greens, and/or Bloc. There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that those parties would cooperate with the US-aligned Cons under PP.
Crazy to think that voters were convinced that “sleepy joe”, and whatever nickname they gave Kamla Harris, would have been worse than what’s happening now.

Well you are lucky if you live outside of Saskatchewan or Alberta.
