      ~~From listening to a CBC news podcast earlier today, the person they interviewed drove home the point that he may not have been fully~~ *~~briefed~~* ~~…~~

      ~~i.e. his handlers rushing to give him his medication and *explain* ‘Sir, this means blah blah blah’~~

      Edit – reply meant for a post elsewhere, forgive me

      Yes, of course. Trump rolled over for Xi and lost his tariff standoff. He is desperate for REM and knows domestic manufacturing in his country can’t cover a true trade war with China. 

      So he’s all good with any deals China makes.

      Feels brittle across the border – hard until a single crack. I believe they know this which is why we never hear anything about formal concessions or policy rollbacks despite them happening all the time.

      Long story short: Carney had already sought Trump’s approval behind the scenes.

      But the fact that he had to do that is in itself the real issue. If the US can dictate who we trade with and under what conditions, then it shows we don’t really have trade sovereignty.

      Which means all Carney achieved with this deal was to get some political relief for himself from Canola farmers in Manitoba, rather than any meaningful trade diversification that reduces our dependence on the US, along with their leverage over us.

      Here’s my hunch on this one:
      He likes this because eventually the US would like to justify military intervention in Canada based upon ‚they do trade with China so they’re a security risk‘.
