          Ah yes because the prime minister or president of a country represents the character of every single person in that county.

          Guess that means all Americans are egotistic psychopaths.

            Because we entrusted our country to a person that cares about one bottom line only and doesn’t actually give a fuck about telling trump to piss off?

                Cowardly. Infuriating. Pathetic. 1 term Carney - fool does understand why he was elected. I’m so pissed. Boycott harder.

                  I’ll never vote for a Liberal candidate again for as long as I live, regardless of ABC. I don’t give a fuck what the threat is. They’re effectively Democrats. Fundamentally worthless from soul to spine.

                      You voted for Liberals. Their only persistent trait is lying to the public about who they are and then siding with big business once elected.

                        Listen, Canadians, you don’t need those tariffs-shmariffs. Just stop buying US shit. That’s it. No matter if that is alcohol or software. Stop buying it. And tariffs become just a stupid number for stupid Trump to drool upon.

                          Buying stuff from the US isn’t affected by US tariffs!?

                          Tariffs would be when you sell things to the US, and even then you’re not the one paying them, it’s just the US government charging its citizens extra to buy things

                          I know it’s tough to wrap one’s head around an idea so fervently championed yet obviously self-defeating XD

                            Well, surely just one little capitulation will win Trump’s favour, and not sent him the message that Canada’s weak and he should push for more, right?

                                Last month, the U.S. and Britain announced a trade deal related to a range of products. But Britain’s 2-per-cent DST was not affected.

                                In a statement at the time, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. “is disappointed that Britain was unwilling to agree to fully address its discriminatory Digital Services Tax.”

                                Britain kept theirs. They’d probably argue that they aren’t European, but y’know.

                                  There better be a fucking explanation. To roll over, especially after the most recent 51st state bullshit? You better have a good goddamn reason.

                                  I’m guessing the reason is supply management on dairy.

                                  There’s a large rural Quebecois voting block that really likes supply management. By dropping the DST, Carney can cede something to Trump without pissing them off. The DST doesn’t have the same constituency, so it’ll hurt the LPC less during the next election.

                                    Supply management on dairy. The yanks have hated that for a while, but there’s a bunch of Quebecois dairy farmers who really like it. I’m guessing that Carney is giving up the DST since it doesn’t have a constituency - if that allows him to keep supply management on dairy, it’ll be easier to keep Quebec’s support during the next election.

                                        No, the concept is trivial. I just point out that the coefficient isn’t important if the value is zero. And Canadians can make it zero at least at one direction.

                                          I sincerely hope you learn something from this. This is the Liberal m.o. and has been for years. They’re a big business party, and don’t have typical Canadian’s interests at heart. Their most redeeming feature is that they’re not the Cons.

                                          If you actually care about bettering the lives of typical Canadians, then look at what parties have track records of getting results. (Hint: A lot of Canadians just got dental care.)
