Backing down on DST is understandable, but doing so on supply management would be another story
Trump will definitely be pushing hard for dairy concessions but Carney cannot afford to cave on supply management.
Major projects beget major challenges
Mark Carney has demonstrated sure-footedness and confidence in his vision of transforming Canada’s economic fundamentals. However, many of the high cards in his quest are not in his hands.
It’s Trump’s world. Other world leaders are just living in it.
Donald Trump hates Canada’s supply-management policies. What if he next says either you drop supply management as a policy of your country, or the trade talks end? Would Carney ‘cave’ again for pragmatic reasons?
Digital services tax retreat risks showing ‘Canada will fold’ in Trump trade talks, warn experts

Happy travels, Canada, and Happy Canada Day
There is a heightened sense of Canadian pride this year and millions of Canadians are showing Americans what they think of Trump’s global trade war with a multi-billion dollar travel ban. Canadians may not wave the flag like our Americans neighbours do, and we will never call ourselves patriots, but we do show our pride in other ways. Happy travels, Canada, and Happy Canada Day.
Canadian cultural diversity is what makes our country great
In this tense global environment, people around the world look to Canada as a country where people have learned to celebrate their differences, not revile them.
Canadians would go to the wall for this beautiful country, no matter how tawdry Trump’s trash talk and tariffs get
