Yeah, the semantics are already on display in what they’re saying here. “a deal that will be in the best interest of Canadians” can be spun really easily.

“Yes, we bent over and spread our cheeks by removing a ton of protections in various industries, selling out those interests to Trump’s whims… but securing lower tariffs on all other trade was in the best interest of Canadians in general”

“Yes, we capitulated on every point you mention, but a trade deal with the US is still better than no trade deal with the US, for the interests of Canada”

“Sure, we brought in legislation that lets us suppress Canadian’s rights, so that we can allow US companies to ignore things like environmental concerns while they extract Canada’s resources and sell them for US profit… but doing that’s in Canada’s best interest, compared to getting invaded/annexed”.

It’s just like how they scream elbows up! Let’s avoid American control in our gov procurement! Except for Microsoft, or other tech giants, even though they’re heavily implicated in the authoritarian shift down south… cause that’d be hard to change, and all our stuff is in their cloud already…
