    Trump is using this to cause a crisis in Canada. Quebec objects, the ROC 1) may grow impatient with an agreement not being made. 2) IF the ROC rallies behind Quebec, the US will use if forever to justify tariffs.

    Dirty tactics.

          It’s what the oil barons call their responsibilities in the boom years and their benefactors when shit’s on fire.

      Like a third of the charter of rights and freedoms is about language laws and french/english. Even as a west coaster, I highly doubt there’s a scenario where Canada doesn’t side with Quebec on this front.

      So option 2 it is – but that’s their endgame anyway, they’re just hunting for an excuse to do it anyhow. Thats been clear ever since he dredged up Fentanyl as a boogeyman. Just hurry up and diversify trade more – I’m fairly sure we can find other markets for most goods. Any business that’s just sitting there hoping this will blow over, and/or that the government will bail them out, and isn’t taking direct actions to mitigate this issue that’s been months and months in the making… deserves to fail.
