As I wrote before, I think this is strategic maneuvering on the alcohol ban on his part. On paper he can make it look like we’re acquiescing to their demand, while in practice it won’t make a noticeable dent in their alcohol sales.
I’m sorry, but this is silly. This is an issue because American liquor companies are taking a financial hit and they are making it an issue. If the finances don’t recover, they are not going to stop making it an issue, whatever tricks we might manage that technically satisfies a deal. We are dealing with gangsters. The best move is not to concede.
I’m tired of hearing that Carney is being all “strategic”. We’re losing big time over Trump’s tantrums, and it’s costing us a lot. Trump knows he’s got the upper hand because the U.S. is a huge economic player, and Canada’s most important economic partner.
He’s effectively holding us hostage.
But Canada is also a big economic player to the U.S. in more ways than we can imagine. Cutting them off could hurt them enough for everyone in the U.S. to call to impeach the motherfucker and put an end to this circus.
But instead we keep enabling Trump and losing the entire way.
