Or, as was originally planned, Negotiate a global minimum tax with the EU and other major markets. Then better yet, remove DRM anti-circumvention legislation. That way Canadian companies can openly jailbreak our phones and offer alternative app stores on the devices we own -with no American middleman taking a third of the money we spend.

The McCains still have their list of problems, much like other large Corporations and billionaires, but they are Canadian.

In many (if not most) sectors the Canadians have already seen a substantial switch to exporting to other regions. That’s why they have not seen a substantive decrease in exports despite the US tariffs. There are several sectors that are being held back because of other trade issues that the government has the ability to resolve and they’ve already been making friendly with several countries they were already having a variety of trade or political conflicts with under the previous government (China/India for instance). So the current administration absolutely has the power to help with this shift, which is economically wise.

He signed a big trade and defense pact with indonesia and a bilateral trade agreement with mexico, partially cutting the us out of north american trade. he’s only been pm for, like, 8 months.
