The Latest.
- U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods if the country “makes a deal with China.”
- Prime Minister Mark Carney has not taken questions about the threat, but posted an ad online this afternoon reiterating that Ottawa’s response to economic threats will continue to be focusing on what it can control.
- Ministers on Parliament Hill today acknowledged the threat is serious, but they said it only confirms Canada needs to stay the course with its strategy to move trade dependency away from the U.S.
- Carney made a trade deal during a recent visit to China, calling the country “a reliable and predictable” trading partner. Then, in Davos, Switzerland, he also encouraged European leaders to work with the nation.
Typical abuser behaviour. What do they have left when the victim decides to break the cycle and leave the relationship? They double down on what they’ve been doing so far. More abuse.
Either the victim caves and goes back, or it reminds them of all the reasons they left in the first place and guarantees they never return. We’re choosing the second one.
