CUSMA-USMCA: I've Had It.

The Globe and Mail has reported that Trump wants first access to critical minerals, oil and gas and a full purchase of 88 F-35s. He wants the removal of counter-tariffs on non-USMCA-compliant American-made cars. And then there's dairy, alcohol, etc. 

Trump's 50%  tariffs on Canada come into force on Wednesday. So, the Canadian strategy should be to just walk away and turn the screws on Trump: for each 50% tariff, Canada should enact a 75% counter-tariff. 

Trump wants to play hardball with Canada throwing in the towel while the Americans make absolutely no meaningful concessions? No FW! Just pick up our chips and fly back to Ottawa. Negotiating with the bad-faith Americans is a waste of time.

There is no reasoning with this imbecile.
