Ignoring these idiots and carrying on without them must be working. Make a pact with Mexico and revisit it when they bring in an administration that honors agreements that are more than 10 minutes old. At this point, agreeing to anything is pointless.

That would be a Mexican trade pact.
So Canada's already had trade delegations in Mexico, very recently even, discussing 'things' with their partners. Both Mexico and Canada could easily read the room as soon as Trump was elected, that 'nafta' was toast -- and have likely got their own bilateral agreements shelf-ready for when Trump shits himself during trade negotiations later this year.
Trump throwing a pants-shitting hissy fit isn't a surprise to anyone. Nor is him responding with more threatening bullshit, when people are shying away from the US because of their threatening bullshit.
I hate Trump for being American but he keeps winning with these trade deals.
He got us out from under the American thumb with NAFTA. If he can get us out if CUSMA then he'd be the best American president in my lifetime.
Dude "wrote" a book on negotiations, but only knows how to play one tune.
And USA congress keeps trying to vote to end those tariffs on Canada.
If Carney's team is smart, by the time USA move on, we would have stronger ties with the rest of the world and business with USA would be optional.
Mr. Carney’s global charm offensive
What an odd way to describe diversifying trade.
I dunno, seems like a perfectly fine way to describe what he was doing. What's your issue with it?
He wasn't diversifying trade in his speech at Davos, even if that was ultimately his goal.
Agreements made with Trump are not worth the paper they’re written on.
Yep, why would anyone bother spending the time and effort to negotiate anything if the US will rip it up a few months later?
It's toilet paper. One ply.
And used.
Oh no! Anyways….
This is just an attempt to get Canada and Mexico to play lowest bidder.
Really transparent and weak move.
Coming soon: TACO night. Again.
So a MexUSA trade pact, not a North American. I mean, he can call it whatever he wants I suppose, but it will still be what it is regardless of the name.
fuck em.
Mr. Trump threatened to impose 100 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, and claimed that China would “take over” Canada and even ban hockey.
Since every accusation is typically a confession with Republicans, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of Trump’s next moves is to ban Canadian teams from playing in the States.
And he thinks Mexico is going to go on with a trade deal without Canada.
I'd assume Mexico like us is fully dependent on the US for access to USD. All he needs to do is threaten tariffs, whose going to play chicken with their entire economy?
Not that anyones happy about it, its a sad reality. When the US did protectionism with the Smoot Hawley tariffs some say it caused a world war, as every country owes debt in USD and went into a debt crisis.
Oh well I guess we'd best all surrender then.
Ya that's pretty suicidal as a country, and all to protect a few monopolies that shouldn't exist.
Even if we did inevitably diversify away from the US, who takes 80% of our exports, its going to take a decade. Its not going to be pleasant.
