At this point, seems like supply management is still off the table, but Champagne said the same for the DST, so we will have to wait and see the deal on July 21, if there’s any.
Years ago, two economic profs in Ottawa said that Canada should look to the east and west as the US was untrustworthy now. I see the tariffs as a silver lining because it has made us get off our butts and do just that. Plus, the tariffs are proving to be a boon for some Canadian made products by Canadian businesses, you know, the businesses that won’t be taken over by US private equity companies.

This seems like the first real possible test of Carneys goodwill in the voters eyes.
The digital tax backdown was not well received.
I haven’t seen the Trump administration give any concessions at all so far to match the ones we’ve given up so far. I remain highly skeptical about how we’ve handled this hostile American administration so far.
We don’t even know what is on the table.
When the Ambassador and Finance Minister address Canadians they say they have a path to no tariffs but last week we found out the negotiating team was asking what level of tariffs business leaders could live with.

Several business leaders and industry representatives, who’ve had conversations with Canada’s negotiating team, say they’ve been asked what level of tariffs they could live with. The Globe and Mail is not naming them so they could speak freely.

Carney updated the auto CEOs on discussions this week but all we heard from that was they wanted the EV mandate lifted. Nothing else has come out.
Is supply management being discussed? We just passed an amendment to make it much more difficult to negotiate on that. Trump keeps bringing it up but, so far, no ultimatums and the US Ambassador basically said there are way around the law.
What does this alleged path look like? What are we giving up for tariff free access?
We don’t want to negotiate in public but outside of the negotiating team, CEOs and business leaders, we don’t know what is being discussed at all.
> “We buy more from the U.S. than China, Japan, the U.K. and France combined, so we’re not in the same league as others,” Francois-Philippe Champagne said.
So what? It’s not like Trump cares about reality, so those facts aren’t going to directly impact his decision making.
> “We cancelled it,” he said. “The OECD and other countries will probably continue their discussions around that. But for us, we took a strategic decision because we want to get to a comprehensive agreement with the United States on security and on the economic front.”
So that’s the new buzzword to indicate they caved?
