We will see if the Charm Offensive works. The PM of UK has been in Canada for a couple of days, maybe they can tag-team President Trump to the mat!

It's really difficult now as Trump has far more information than people realize and he is adamant in returning many industries back to America.


In his first big test at the G7, Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday morning, according to an official in his office.

The Prime Minister's Office said the two leaders will sit down one-on-one before the main talks with the other leaders officially get underway.

Carney has been keen to ink a deal with Trump on trade and security, and for the U.S. president to drop his punishing tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and the auto industry.

Earlier this week CBC/Radio-Canada reported Canada and the U.S. appear to be making progress toward some sort of trade agreement. Sources with direct knowledge of the situation said a working document outlining details of a potential deal has been sent back and forth between Ottawa and Washington.

The document is considered a step toward the overall goal of reaching a deal, but sources cautioned work needs to be done before there's an agreement.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Canadian officials with continue to "grind away" on getting a deal past the finish line, adding there's a level of uncertainty in dealing with the U.S. administration.

"So if on Sunday, it looks like there's no agreement, Monday night, [we] can suddenly be in agreement. If we think we made progress two weeks ago, well, two weeks later, we haven't gotten the agreement we want," he told Rosemary Barton Live in an interview that aired Sunday.

The Canada side is working on the economic-defence deal "with a real sense of urgency and frustration that obviously is fuelled by what business and union and workers are telling us," he added.

Some Major US manufacturing corporations are quietly moving to Canada, ...incentives, cheap hydro energy deals until 2040, stable workplaces.
Overseas etc tourism into America is down in numbers, reportedly...with some towns and cities already feeling financial strain and job losses.
Tourists from Canada a lot of those who are staying away...reportedly.
Yes, ...insult people, threaten to upend people's lives, they get ner vous. Nervous people stop spending money they absolutely don't have to.
Seems to me President Trump went about MAGA like a bull at a gate.
Signed all those Executive Orders on day one...without considering the possible consequences.
Not much deep thought seemed to go into most of it.

I posted on here that Canada had the worst manufacturing losses in 20 years, even worse than during covid. These are facts with data which I provided, a contraction of 1.9% or something. In Ontario insolvency is almost certain.

It's going to be a difficult negotiation especially since the Creepy Ones have decimated our economy
