In short, as Canadian conservatives suspected, Mark Carney lied about everything!
U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer appeared on CNBC this morning to discuss the trade agreement between the U.S. and Canada and what caused the final breakdown at the last minute. Greer notes the Canadian team appeared to be negotiating at the end from the position of politics as the Canadian team were aligning themselves with a domestic effort.
Greer draws attention to the friction points being very small. The U.S. tariffs were on less than 5% of overall Canadian exports and less than 0.6% of U.S. imports. The U.S. made several offers to present Canada with the best trade terms in the world; however, Canada wanted more. Canada wanted to retain all their market barriers, retain all quotas, retain all tariffs and restrictions against U.S. goods and services, but remove all the tariffs against them.
This is a really solid interview to watch because USTR Greer doesn’t need to pretend anything. The terms offered were direct and consistent with benefit to both America and Canada. On the language issue, Greer completely refutes the claims by Mark Carney about the U.S. seeking to change the language of Quebec and starts laughing at the premise. The issue relates to Canada demanding that five percent of all tech income be given to Canadian tech companies they compete against. That demand is ridiculous. WATCH:

Canada will find out in the weeks and months to come, that their nation and its economy rely more heavily on the US than they ever suspected.
I doubt the average Canadian will understand that fast, the TDS will spread and then die off in time but by then it will be too late.
AI agree it will spread, but I don’t think it will die off. TDS is incurable. The hatred will become pure bitterness toward USA.
A few days ago there was a potentially huge scandal involving Shaun Chen, a Chinese MP in the Canadian House of Commons. He was forced to quit, likely because him being controlled by the CCP was about to become public. He’s now running for a seat in the Toronto City Council.
A juggling of Titanic deck chairs…
Just love to listen to JG. He tells it straight and I 100% trust what comes out of his mouth. Canada will be back at the table or they will watch the US sign a deal with Mexico and announce the end of USMCA. And then where will they find themselves???
Carney….over the falls in barrel, the CA patriots might take him there and push
He was in effect the protogé of Robert Lighthizer. An apt student and a quick learner with a poker face, just like his mentor.
this is what happens to a country with totally fake elections…that’s where tptb want us and we’re well on our way. one more election cycle to steal ought to do it. i like canada, they make and co-make most of the best science fiction out there.
Greer seems to be a straight shooter, well prepared and knowledgeable. Just the kind of person who would intimidate Carney, so Carney pulls out of the US market to make himself seem tough. If Carney chose the CCP over a solid trade relationship between the USA and Canada, he is a a flaming idiot, first and foremost.
well. Cana-day here has been wildly entertaining and chock full of chuckles.
carney, ford, and freeland – the three stooges, canuck edition – are embarrassing themselves daily.
they huff and they puff…then they hyperventilate and have to breath into a bag.😂
the temper tantrums are a sure tell that they’re losing and losing big.
my sympathies lie only with our U.S. negotiators who have to unpack and refute
all the canadian dreck – with receipts – excruciatingly tedious, but necessary.
i fully expect their next petty move will be to close all the roads into Alaska…🤣
from a purely divide to conquer perspective, those who cannot be named are staunch advocates against a united north america
they abhor the notion, therfore applying copious amounts of sand to the machinery
It is absolutely not a matter of Canada’s desire for the
unfair distribution of trade 💰 handed to them. 🫴
No, the issue is totally about trade documents 📄 written in French.
Uh-huh.🤥
Here we are (yet again) with the continuous stream of 🐝 esss!
It is absurd! 🙃
It’s like negotiating with the mullahs in Iran!
Unifor loses, UAW wins
UAW will vote MAGA for 20 years
Canada seems to be following the Iranian method of negotiating: make a tentative agreement, then demand new unreasonable terms, sabotage the deal, then blame the other side.
Canada believes that the Democrats will take the House majority in the midterm. Then be able to dictate more favorable terms to Canada similar to what happened in Trump’s first term when Pelosi dictated more favorable terms for Canada in the USMCA treaty. Could happen again.
