Really? I think that might be news to Trump and the U.S. negotiating team.

Do you have a link to back up your claim that this was the reason negotiations stalled? Last I heard, it was the sunset clause.

You are correct. At the very last minute Trump changed his mind (again) and demanded a 5 year sunset clause and that's what caused the negotiations to stall.

LOL. What a lot of nonsense. Who do you think you're fooling besides yourself? Everyone knows that Trudeau has been remaining cool, calm and collected while Trump is the one who's been tweeting his lies and puffed up temper tantrums and hissy fits and bullying threats every day.


Good grief !!!

It's going to contract a lot faster if they dont give us more access to their market. A trade war will throw them into a depression while being a minor blimp in the US economy.

Canada is #2 on the list of countries we export to. And that is just goods. Minor blimp? I dont think so,

He dealt with that joke on him with great aplomb, didn't he? He was waggling his Groucho Marx eyebrows suggestively at the grumpy old man with the weird comb-over, trying to cheer him up, but unfortunately the grumpy old man wasn't amused about it and had another big temper tantrum instead.

This mess won't impact the price of Canadian Bacon in Canada, it will only impact its price in USA. That's because in Canada there is no such thing as Canadian Bacon. That particular style of cured ham steaks is an American invention produced in America and it was Americans who picked that name for it. I don't know why they didn't call it American Bacon.

Canada has some serious economic issues at hand. They'll hit the skids well before the United States does. Their housing market in places like Toronto and Vancouver is already starting to tank.
