The Canadian government needs to focus on trade with Europe and Asia before the USA.
100%.
The US' goal is to disrupt our economy. A deal with the US during this administration isn't worth the paper it is written on.
If a deal is reached tomorrow I expect it to be torn up by the US in 6 months to a year (maybe even sooner) with the goal of causing further chaos to our economy.
Americans have no right to our companies and resources.
The Iranians have the right goal of refusing to negotiate until Trump leaves office, deals signed with him have almost never been worth the paper they were written on.
Yes, this administration has shown how dishonest, dishonorable, and disgusting Americans are.
South America is sad by this sentiment
Hey I want Canada to trade with Mercosur
We are, but through the years so many businesses got complacent and relied on only the U.S. market.
Not a business owner, but I feel if you can’t operate a business without relying only on the U.S. you have a failed business.
Please people, stop saying things like this. US is a short drive from Canada. Consult a globe: Europe and Asia are oceans away. All that shipping costs money that we have to subsidize over local trade partners with those countries.
You should take a short drive over there and never come back.
Excuse my math.
