honestly carney showing up to actually *talk* instead of just panic is kind of the move here, like at least someone's trying? but wait maybe aggressive tariffs are actually good for domestic jobs, idk ur guess is as good as mine

could intensifying trade talks actually be the smarter move than immediately retaliating with counter tariffs? wouldn't direct negotiation give canada more leverage than a tit for tat approach?

Honestly, Carney's "intensify" talk is just negotiating theater-Canada sends like 300 billion in exports to the US annually so they've got actual leverage here, not just empty rhetoric.

look tariffs actually force real negotiation instead of endless posturing, ive seen companies finally get serious about supply chain diversification when theyre facing actual costs instead of theoretical threats.

notice how carney waits until after the tariffs drop to suddenly "intensify" talks? classic negotiation theater to make it look like pressure worked when this was always planned.
