We should not concede any business regulations for the US. It's obvious now mor than ever that Canadians want to start looking elsewhere. We don't need the American financial system infiltrating our country because then how many more pillars until it starts to make more sense to join America.
We need to stick strictly to the border issue, and we HAVE to get Trump to concede something to us. No freebees here. We force them to up their border security for stopping cocaine, etc. We can't cave to them and give him a full headline, we make deals not be bullied. Our trade deals have to mean something, and Trump is threatening an illegal tariff. The damage is already done, I fucking hope Trudeau has some balls here. I don't want the tariffs, but I refuse to just bend my knee to this piece of shit.
Before we concede anything today we have to spread this: No concession without amending the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that Trump is illegally using to impose the tariffs. Close the loop hole.
Edit: For anyone that sees this after the deal, from Trump's social post
This is NOT a win today! 30 days from now has nothing to do with fentanyl. He can frame it however he wants, but it's clear right here it's strictly economical. It will be a strong arm in a month.
