Canada already gave it in last time they talked (end of tech tax, retaliatory tariffs, ...). I wonder what they want now, and if Carney will go above and beyond for Trump again (as in he could easily have bound the concessions with the continuity of the negotiations).

Who does that economist serve? The working class, or wealthy CEOs, investors, and company shareholders?

The high speed rail project he's putting in place is, as always, going to be a public-private partnership rather than a public crown corporation like Via Rail is. His affordable housing strategy has simply been "build more homes" and poking for the private sector to do the right thing when they're the ones price gouging us to begin with by treating a home as an investment rather than a human right.

He still hasn't said anything about the efforts of Ford and Smith to further privatise the healthcare industry and how he'd protect public health with the Canada Health Act. His government forced arbitration on airline attendants striking against Air Canada over unpaid work. He's laying the groundwork for a new pipeline when the oil & gas industry has abandoned workers through automation leaving them nowhere else to go, and he's unwilling to ban surveillance pricing when we're in a cost of living crisis.
