    How would you like it to go? This is how it is meant to go, politicians announce a goal and a vague direction they want to go in, then table bills with the details filled out, it undergoes several layers of public debate and then it gets voted on.

    And how is that working out for Canada? Same old same old but apparently most of this thread lives in Ottawa. “public debate”. Hilarious.

    What we get, ALWAYS, looks great on paper with a bunch of asterisks and caveats and most of the measures never happen because some metric was never met, all by design.

      Always assess Mark’s results against Polyestre’s predicted path: subjugation and the 51st state.

      I just expected more from him, especially based on his books.

        Nah. We just need to work around the risk we didn’t know they represented.

        Who didn’t know that the US was the Mecca of bigotry, racism, homophobia, and corporate greed? Seriously, I can’t be the only person who saw this coming as soon as Trump’s name went on the ballot in 2016.

          LOL Yeah Right Carney you start first. When you move 94% of your investments back to Canada from the United States, Stop Gas-Lighting Canadians on the trade deals. Green light #NorthernGetaway and remove all restrictions affecting its production. Then I will start relying more on Canadian business

            I just realized that McCain is a Canadian company. Sorry, I’ve been boycotting their fries and stuff for the past few months, but it was a mistake - damn you, John McCain!

            The McCains still have their list of problems, much like other large Corporations and billionaires, but they are Canadian.

              I’ll believe it when I see it - Carney doesn’t seem to actually have done anything so far.

              Carney is very bad at communicating and informing Canadians. He likes to keep everything private until there are results to publish. It keeps me worried that he’s accomplishing nothing and my confidence in his abilities is very low considering how he’s folded all the hands we actually held.

                He does not know what his investments are in and has no access to them, they are in a blind trust.

                      Did you actually read the agreement? It leaves Canada in $600M trade deficit. Media loves to skip the details.

                      Are you going to demand that you get out of the trade deficit you have with your grocer of choice?

                      Why not? Are you to afraid that capitalism would then be replaced with communism? It is important that you understand what Trump is talking about before you echo him.

                          We need to increase our non-US exports because the US is our enemy. Not because they are limiting it.

                                          lol… yet it is. You fiscal Conservatives don’t know shit.

                                          Definition of a Blind Trust A blind trust is a legal arrangement where the trustor (the person who creates the trust) transfers control of their assets to a trustee (the person managing the trust) without retaining knowledge of how those assets are managed. This setup is designed to prevent conflicts of interest, particularly for individuals in sensitive positions, such as politicians or corporate executives.

                                          How a Blind Trust Works Key Roles Trustor: The individual who establishes the trust and places assets into it. Trustee: An independent party who manages the trust assets without input from the trustor. Beneficiary: The person or entity that benefits from the trust, often the trustor themselves. Asset Management Once the trust is established, the trustee has full discretion over the assets. The trustor does not know what investments are held or how they are managed. This separation helps ensure that the trustor’s decisions in their professional role remain unbiased.
