As a Canadian, I am willing to suffer if it means long term benefits. Carney is very popular for a reason.

- poncho_romero 26d agoNo deal is better than a bad deal.
- koolba 26d agoNo deal is a bad deal. Just for an indefinite term.
- ceejayoz 26d agoTrump’s deals also are of indefinite terms. Ask the Saudis - their big nuclear deal fell apart within a day as Trump added new conditions out of thin air.
- kannanvijayan 26d agoIs anyone else getting that feeling about hearing the world "deal" so much that it's losing any meaning whatsoever? What exactly does this word mean? It definitely doesn't mean a stable set of agreements that can be relied upon to ensure a stable future business environment. That's not in the cards. What I suspect Carney is doing, and fully support as a Canadian, is running down the clock. An agreement is America isn't worth anything without leverage to back it. The main goal is to stall to delay the damage as much as possible while diversifying away our economic dependence on the US. There is no other long-term goal - everything else is just appearances and showmanship.
- THX1137 26d agoI'm sure many Canadians are fine with a "bad no deal" if it means not negotiating with an unreliable partner that consistently engages in threatening Canada's national sovereignty.
- pebbly_bread 26d agoThis implies that the US respects the agreements it signs
- refurb 25d agoYou sure? Canada's economy is struggling as is. The healthcare system is holding on by a thread. You ready for unemployment to double? If there is a significant recession, tax reciepts go down and healthcare spending gets further cut.
- timbit42 23d agoSuch exaggeration.
