If Canadian politicians knew just how much some agencies in this country have sabotaged this relationship. or better yet, if they cared...we wouldn't be in this position. We destroy our best and brightest, people of principle and creativity to allow the dumb kids of the S.I.C to thrive even though they were RARELY the best for the job.
Canada decided that using China to trans-national export was easier than pretending we had the same civil liberties as America. We decided "it's ok to leverage China and stop pretending we believe in our Charter of Rights because money is easy". Except, China stole just stole our market access directly since America realized "it's not about principle to Canadian security apparatuses so we will just go with the cheapest products".
I was worried about all of this in 2003 before I was even aware of what the Security Industrial Complex was doing to destroy my life. Now Europe and America know far more.
OTTAWA — Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says it's "sad" that the U.S. "turned its back" on Canada by starting a trade war which is now forcing Ottawa to "reinvent" the national economy.
Champagne said after a caucus meeting today that "a lot of the costs" the country must carry in the upcoming federal budget are "directly related to the trade war that has been imposed on Canada."
His comments came after U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said the Trump administration was "hopeful" about the prospects for a "much bigger" deal with Canada that would go beyond renegotiating the current trade pact.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he's hoping to reach smaller sectoral deals with U.S. President Donald Trump to de-escalate the ongoing trade war, and to draft a new economic and security partnership.
Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are inching toward a major review of the trilateral Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement due next year.
The U.S. Trade Representative posted a notice of consultation this week seeking feedback on the review.
