It's hard to say whether Poilierve would have been as good or better
than Carney. He is less diplomatic and it might have ended up being
a shouting match rather than a negotiation with Trump, and we know
how much Trump hates that..
During the election they had warned here that he would love to turn
Canada into the USA in all but name. That doesn't mean he'd want
Canada to JOIN the USA, he just wants to set things up more like you
have them there, which tend to benefit those making more money more
than the poor or old. Less social services, less healthcare coverage
and lower taxes for higher wage earners.
Interesting thing on the news today.. They said that Amazon was all
set to show two prices on things, the old price and the 'New' Trump
tariff influenced price so people would know what it was costing them.
They didn't have the exact details but apparently Bezos was 'contacted'
by the White House and, after whatever was said, he backed off on that..
Also.. Tesla is trying to take our gov't to court over rebates for
electric vehicles. Apparently when they heard that the rebates would
be ending soon, Tesla suddenly, over a 3 day period, magically sold
8600 cars and expected to get $43 Million back in rebates.
The whole thing sounds like borderline fraud and the gov't is
refusing to pay the $43 Million and has banned Tesla from any
future EV Rebate programs..
I'm sure Musk's relationship with Trump had nothing to do with that.. B)
