Statement from @… leader of the #NDP on trade talks.
"The Prime Minister was right to walk away from the negotiating table last night. I believe Canadians are united in this crucial moment, on this crucial point: no deal is better than a bad deal.
Accepting a deal that would lock in pointless, destructive tariffs and undermine our ability to regulate big tech would have been disastrous for our workers, industries and sovereignty. PM Carney read the room by rejecting the Americans’ offer.
Wab Kinew got it exactly right — the President is weak and cannot be trusted to abide by an agreement. We should stand firm, knowing it’s what the vast majority of Canadians want our government to do.
But what happens next matters. We are not out of this yet.
You can count on New Democrats to be a voice for swift and substantial aid to affected workers and industries. This is also a moment to rapidly transition to an economy that is more independent, that prioritizes housing, health, climate and the cost of living.
What brings us together and makes us strong is how we take care of each other in hard times. That’s the Canada the NDP will fight for in this crisis moment and those to come."

In case you need to be reminded, Canada. It seems to have finally started to sink in to at least some American pundits:
David Frum:
“As Trump has declared over and over again, his ultimate goal in this trade war is to add Canada as a 51st state.”

I hate Dougie... but if even he's not happy with the deal, then there must be something really bad in there! Or he thinks we've given away the farm (possibly literally).
"Ontario Premier Doug Ford has made no public comments since Wednesday, but sources told CBC News the premier expressed displeasure with what was shared about the potential deal at a meeting with Carney that day.”

Wab Kinew to the CBC today.
“Prime Minister Carney didn’t exactly beg the provinces to lift the booze ban… but what is one level before that?”

“You’re at war when you are attacked.”
Mark Carney
Prime Minister of Canada
and that was basically the end of the presser. He ended in French responding the same way and reiterating that Canadian culture and French identity were showstoppers.
Extraordinary times.

Here is the transcript of the meat of Carney’s proposal for a deeper Canada and EU partnership in text. Full text of the speech at the second link. The 2 minute video clip got a chuckle (“better manners”).
“So let me say plainly what Canada proposes.
Canada and Europe should secure our strategic autonomy through deep cooperation in the full range of strategic capabilities, including critical minerals, defence industrial capacity, AI and compute, energy security, space, and payments.
We should move toward seamless, digital trade in non-agricultural goods and a wide range of services.
We should deepen our people-to-people ties, allowing our youth to live, work and study where they want on either side of the Atlantic.
Canadian membership of Erasmus can give your students, and ours, more opportunity to learn at some of the world’s top universities, to broaden their horizons, and to build lasting ties that will sustain our alliance for the future.
Canadian membership of the next generation of Horizon would allow us to pool resources, cooperate on frontier technologies, and leverage our world-class research institutes and universities.
Yesterday, President von der Leyen announced a “new European Corporation on Critical Raw Materials” to obtain and stockpile the material needed for electric cars, chips and batteries, clean technology, and defence. Canada has deposits of over 34 critical minerals, and we are among the top producers of the 10 most essential for the world’s energy transition. Our alliance can help fill Europe’s need for reliable supply, Canada’s need for advanced processing capabilities, and our common objective to build complete value chains.
Canada can contribute LNG and hydrogen at large scale to support Europe’s energy security including by developing and leveraging new port infrastructure in the High North and on our East Coast. We, in turn, can benefit from your leadership in many clean energy technologies.
We can pool new sovereign compute capacity and build more secure broadband connections between Europe and Asia via our common geography.
Canada and Europe can join forces to develop AI safety protocols, coordinate common standards, and strengthen transparency, all while developing applications so our governments and companies can serve our citizens better.
Canada and Europe should also consider exploring an integrated market for financial services to broaden choice and reduce costs for our citizens, improve access to capital for our companies while maintaining our world-leading financial resilience.”

The Trade Rep for Canada, Minister LeBlanc just said he's not going to be concerned about what an official says... “on a US Social network”.
Interesting choice of words. Is there a mind shift happening?
Now might be the time to strike and remind your local, provincial and federal politicians that there are *CANADIAN* social networks *today*.
There are spaces they can join, and even that they can create.
It's time to ramp up the Canadian #Fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb!
