Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday his government is not considering hitting American goods with more retaliatory tariffs, even as the trade war rages on, because there are signs that the bilateral talks on relief are headed in the right direction.
True. Maybe they think keeping a low profile will minimize the disruption while we diversify, but hoping for a return to a status quo is just naive. Putting up a flight might get him some flak from those impacted by the trade war, but appeasement and compromise don’t work with fascists.
We should have hit them with the digital services tax and used that to fund relief projects. Tax the foreign rich. But this is Carney so we get austerity instead.
