ALT text: There's a figure in the post body taken from the Angus Reid poll link. It's a clustered bar graph outlining Canadians' preference for the government to take a "soft" versus "hard" approach in trade negotiations with Trump, given their vote in the 2025 federal election. Amongst Liberal, NDP, and Bloc voters 76-78% favour a "hard" approach with Trump, compared to only 46% of Conservative voters

It will be impossible to make a trade deal with Trump. I think he should put that retroactive DST back in place.

I think Carney and co think they have to prove they did an honest attempt before they ask Canadians for sacrifices. They probably fear they may quickly lose support if they don't.

And in my opinion, Carney should lose support on his domestic economic policy if the projected cuts materialize. Not on his negotiations with Trump. Because that's something other parties could potentially address. Trump negotiations are a long shot for anyone.

The only way Carney is getting back in after the next election is; if PP is still head of the Conservatives, he brings in the new voting system Trudeau promised.

Ignore trump and make trade deals with anybody else. FUCK TRUMP!!!

Making any "deal" with Trump is pointless. He isn't going to respect the terms for more than a week...at best. Anything longer than that, and he'll have already forgotten he signed anything at all.

Divided? Only the CPC seem to be divided. Everyone else is firmly in favour of elbows up.

I always thought Conservatives were supposed to be more nationalistic, but it seems they're happy to believe another country's populist. I wish all the wannabe Americans would self-deport, but the US won't take em.

It would be hilarious to see them all get deported to some random foreign country just for trying, though,

As per usual, the Conservative voters are just itching to sell the country out to anybody for any reason.

I think we’ve exhausted any good will to make concessions! The experiment is over! It’s time to move on and do all necessary reciprocal actions and focus on our economy. Time to replace the US economy and increase trade with our true allies.
