What.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa removes all federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade AgreementEnglish14·9 days agoThroughout the spring federal election campaign, Mark Carney as Liberal leader repeatedly vowed to “eliminate” interprovincial trade barriers and create “free trade by Canada Day.”
But Canada’s internal trade barriers won’t all be eliminated by then — not even all the federal ones.
Canada’s supply management system for dairy products, which sets provincial production quotas, will remain. Quebec also has language requirements that will stay in place.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. resumed trade talks with Canada on Monday morning, says CarneyEnglish5·9 days agoIt’s geographically impossible for Canada to completely eliminate trade with the US.
I absolutely agree that it should be minimized, though.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. resumed trade talks with Canada on Monday morning, says CarneyEnglish8·9 days agoAgreed. If there’s a greater purpose here, keeping it from Canadians is a pretty big blunder.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. resumed trade talks with Canada on Monday morning, says CarneyEnglish7·9 days agoEven if we reach a deal, it’s not like Trump is stable or trustworthy enough to honour it.
I don’t think this is entirely true - Trump is obviously not trustworthy, but the government has been able to leverage CUSMA to lessen the impact of the attempted tariffs. There seems to be some benefit to having a formal deal in place.
But I’m definitely not comfortable with this capitulation at all.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. resumed trade talks with Canada on Monday morning, says CarneyEnglish14·9 days agoDespite the move, Canada is still in active discussions with G7 allies to introduce an international tax, with Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne leading that work, the PMO said.
If this ends up happening, it’s important context to this decision.
If it ends up not happening…pretty weak shit.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•The RCMP’s Rent-a-Cop Policing Led to the Worst Killing Spree in CanadaEnglish9·15 days agoYeah, every analysis of the RCMP I’ve ever seen seems to agree that the elimination of their local policing responsibilities has got to be the first priority.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•U of R professor found liable of defamation for calling a book ‘racist garbage’English2·19 days agoI’d like to know more about the ruling than what’s presented in the article. And I guess I’d need to know more about Canadian defamation law.
Not reading the book is unfortunate (sort of)…but it seems like a person could form a sincerely-held beliefs about a book without reading the thing cover to cover.
They seem to be playing things close to the vest for now, but I’m sure that will all come out in time.
