Thus far, the election of the man many said was just the ticket to stand up to Trump has garnered results that are a bit less than stellar.
The talks, said one Canadian government source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, “have been volatile.”
“By the end of May, before we even hit the 50 per cent tariffs, we saw a 30 per cent decline in production across the country,” said Catherine Cobden, president and CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA). She doesn’t have the June numbers yet, but she expects it be “much worse.”

That Chief negotiator, Chrystia Freeland, is one tough and volatile cookie. Trump’s team has met their match in the journalism graduate. I’m certain your steel industry has the utmost confidence in her.
Carney is just another Liberal empty vessel. He is too stupid for words.
Why should we worry? Dear Leader says we don’t really use much steel these days. And if we export most of it why not put a ‘carbon tax’ on it because ‘save the planet’…in addition to US 50% tariff. Beyond hopeless.

Their talks were volatile. And their game of dominoes was voila!-tile!
I expect August to be volatile.
When people from central Canada talk about the separation of AB and Sask, they sometimes mention that negotiations need to occur before an actual separation does. The west hasn’t be treated fairly for generations, and isn’t interested in negotiating now, I hope there’s separation first, and in the years which follow the negotiations, terms can be finalized.
So when other countries see Canada mired in indecision for years with “what to do” … that’s the standard Canadian ploy until the argument becomes, “this is the way it’s always been”.
We’re so screwed. There is only one way to fight this, deregulation & taking a chainsaw to gov’t. It’s our gov’ts who are strangling our economy not the Americans. Capital flows to where it is best treated and right now that is clearly the US.
Separate now!!
There will be lots of time later for negotiations.
I want to run one of the border stations – it will be a microwave accommodating a full size vehicle.
