Carney may have put his elbows down, but we need to keep ours up!

You know, I was actually relieved to hear he knows we're not getting a full resumption of free trade.
I'm kind of fed up with Ali Express at this point. Nothing actually gets delivered. Does anyone know any other Amazon alternatives?

What would "Elbows up" look like in this situation that doesn't result in a massive recession?

I think Canadians have to suck it up and move their businesses elsewhere. The time of easy trade with the US is over and we need to broaden our trade alliances, and actually take advantage of them.
-
okay, cool. i buy everything canadian, or from other countries besides the US anyways. its super easy.

At the store it's doable, assuming a fairly permissive definition of "non-American". But, the digital giants are harder. Lemmy-type people can manage an approximation, but non-technical people would struggle. I myself am having trouble with online shopping, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread.

Then that digital service tax goes back, right? If only one side negotiates in good faith you shouldn’t capitulate.
Onward and upward to the “entire rest of the world” market that’s also looking to distant itself from the toddler peeing in his own kid pool.

If negotiation fails and he doesn't put it back I'll be pretty disappointed, yeah.

I thought there was an already a free trade deal called CUSMA?
-
Read the article. If you are willing to do the paperwork, most goods are exempt under CUSMA.
The “section 232” tarrifs on steel, aluminum, and vehicles are the biggest problems right now. Those may eventually be ruled illegal anyway (in the US).
Let’s just continue to buy from and trade less with them every chance we get.

Happy cake day!

That he negotiated but barely abides by, yes. Still, it's protecting us from the bulk of the tariffs right now. It sunsets pretty soon though.
