A telling excerpt from the PMO statement:

"They [Canada's negotiators] have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute. However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."

I sense that Team Donnie Dementia can't keep themselves from renegotiating their own deal before it's even made.

It was always going to be that. You can't negotiate or trust who continuously bargains in bad faith and readjusts goalposts. We're not a fucking vassal state!

They thought we'd be so desperate to sign a deal to avoid tariffs that we'd just sign whatever the asked at the 11th hour.
