News snippet: CTV News has learned that Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Tuesday morning, with LeBlanc’s office describing the meeting as “constructive and lengthy.”
They said the meeting was scheduled for one hour, but lasted more than 90 minutes.
Kirsten Hillman, Canadian ambassador to the U.S., was also at the meeting, as was Marc-Andre Blanchard, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s chief of staff.The talks come just days after Carney announced Canada would drop some of its counter-tariffs on American goods, part of a prolonged trade war that has seen Washington impose a 35 per cent tariff on Canadian exports not covered by the countries’ free-trade deal.
Both Canada and the U.S. still have tariffs in place for steel, aluminum, copper and autos.Carney has said the goal is to “intensify” talks with U.S. President Donald Trump on a broader economic and security deal, and that he received assurances from Trump that scrapping some countermeasures will kickstart those negotiations.

Wake me when the US announces a reduction in tariffs on Canada because I am tried of all of the „constructive meetings“ we have had over the last several months.

Just like the DST, he dropped the tariffs in exchange for nothing in return from Trump. He continues to cave.
Meanwhile, China refused to drop their tariffs until Trump would respond in kind. Guess what happened? Both countries ended up simultaneously rolling back tariffs. That’s the only way to deal with Trump.
Carney is doing the very thing that everyone was afraid of Poilievre doing had he won instead.

Meetings, partnerships, initiatives blah blah blah. How has the Carney government meaningfully improved the lives of Canadians in the last 6 months?
