That is correct yes

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.

No, Europe’s just the same

Don’t forget tgat the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer. A part of our heritage

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

CACO, I guess XD

Guess that means all Americans are egotistic psychopaths.

True fact! (Joking, you make a good point)

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.

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.

Yeah. No shit. The LPC is literally a right-leaning party. ABC means ABC. Glad you’re up to speed.

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.)

That’s what I said after they fucked us on electoral reform. Being a principled voter is the correct pragmatic decision in the long term.

ABC results in US two-party system.

Just stop buying US shit.

Those of us who give a damn are already doing that as much as possible.

Unfortunately the 1000 pound gorilla that is the USA had taken over some parts of our economy to the point where there is no way to avoid them completely.

Disturbing, as this was a significant revenue raiser that could help with those disenfranchised through tariffs, or fund the absurd destruction of Canada through 200% military spending increase. Continued US military alliance signals further capitulation, but just as attack on Iran was apparent end of war through victory declaration, there may be a quick return to status quo. OTOH, complete subjugation may be more likely.

PP didn’t seem like a good choice to me. And there was no way any other party had a shot.

And I don’t think cons would have been any better.
