Not a great sign that this guy wrote an op ed which outlines why he agrees with most of the United States demands. Notably on supply management and allowing more American firms to compete here: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-the-budget-needs-bold-change-to-fix-canadas-falling-productivity/
>Looking to our agricultural sector, the sacred cow of supply management, through its import restrictions, production quotas and price controls, secures the market for a protected group of settled players, impeding innovation and keeping prices artificially high for Canadian consumers.
…
>Statutes such as the Bank Act, the Investment Canada Act, and the CRTC Act, for example, set the bar obstructively high for foreign entrants at the cost of innovation and competition.
I disagree with his views on the Century Initiative, but holy crap does he have a stacked resume.
Considering this role has nothing to do with immigration, I can support this.
Wow, we’re scraping the bottom of the ethical barrel

It’s over, Canada is about to be gutted for spare parts and wouldn’t be surprised if dairy management is first of many sacred cows including healthcare to be privatized soon given what’s going on in conservative provinces
Unfortunately I think they are seeing that we are going to need a man in that role to deal with the current USA administration. It shouldn’t matter but a woman isn’t going to get the respect and serious discourse from then in negotiations that we absolutely need right now.
When dealing with the democrats it’s not an issue but with the Trump republicans it absolutely is. Chrystia Freeland caused a lot of problems in negotiations between us and them as they did not like dealing with her one bit.
