RockyRoadTravel Posted August 22 Posted August 22 At the last minute, after the deal was almost set, the USA added more and more concession demands including "not signing any comprehensive trade agreements with any other country." Is anyone surprised that the Canadians walked away from the table? Canada wasn't going to sign a trade deal that undermines national sovereignty. This failure will cost American consumers as Canada will impose a dollar for dollar tariff taxes on American products, oil, aluminum, steel, agricultural products etc. To protect Canadian based industries. This is the full 23 minutes of Prime Minister Carney's comments after the negotiations collapsed after Lutnick got involved. Carney is clear, coherent and transparent in both English and French. stevenkesslar 1 Quote

RockyRoadTravel Posted August 22 Author Posted August 22 Question: "was Lutnick's involvement in the last few days an impediment to getting a deal?" Answer: "that's for the Americans to answer. And we had unity on our side of negotiations, the same can't be said for the Americans." Quote

In the Epstein bubble, Lutnick has already proven himself to be a LIAR..... Add to that the fact that he is an incompetent WHITE DEI hire, it should come as no surprise his involvement couldnt close a deal.... Everyone now knows that NOONE in the Trump administration can be trusted, and their only interest in any negotiation is "making themselves richer".... stevenkesslar 1 Quote

It sounds like the American and Canadian negotiators were making slow but steady progress toward a renewed trade deal. Then Lutnick arrived and put national sovereignty into the negotiations ("no other deals with other countries") and blew up all the work that had been done. I can see why the Canadians walked away. I'm glad they did. Let's see what the Incompetent TACO does next. He's been strangely silent. Ruthrieston and stevenkesslar 2 Quote

Members stevenkesslar Posted August 23 Members Posted August 23 8 hours ago, RockyRoadTravel said: Carney answers question about "can Trump be trusted." Yeah, right. But Americans are more unified about this than Canadians. So there. Quote Poll after poll in recent days showed Canadians did not want Carney to make any more concessions to the Trump administration. Most recently, a Leger survey measured 56 percent support for holding the line. Okay, great. So 56 % of Canadians agree with Carney that Trump can't be trusted. But poll after poll shows Americans are even more unified. A WaPo poll last year showed 64 % of Americans oppose how Trump is using tariffs. A New York Times poll earlier this year also said 64 % of Americans oppose Trump's tariffs. But Americans are even more unified than that. 71 % of Americans agree that Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on inflation in the US. And 56 % of Americans agree that it will negatively impact US global economic leadership. Take that, Canada! I don't mean to sound smug or triumphant. But doesn't it show America is smarter, and more unified, for electing Trump to lower our prices in the first place? 🤔 By the way, need any drones? I heard Trump's kids are selling some for cheap.

Canada has announced it 50% tariffs on American products, responding the trade war started by this corrupt regime in the White House. Stupid Watergate Stupid Vietnam Stupid Trade War One thing this White House regime has perfected is - stupid. (And lazy [and incompetent]). stevenkesslar 1 Quote

The Great Incompetent better hope the Canadians don't divert the heavy oil that USA refineries depend on, the electricity from Ontario and Quebec going to the Northeast. Gas prices would go even hire than they are now. Quote

RockyRoadTravel Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago For some reason about 25 years ago a street in Ottawa, Canada, was named Trump Ave. Ottawa City Council just voted unanimously to rename the street. Some of the names being considered are Canada Goose Ave, Obama Ave, TACO Ave. True. Trolling The Great Incompetent. Quote
