George Conway's take on tarriffs

This is for Joseph Brian to read, and so we can discuss it. Sometimes I post things just for him! Feel free to watch or read the synopsis.  

Our Prime Minister Carney is getting all sorts of questions on what is going on between our two governments. In an article, he is quoted as saying,

Carney told Quebec’s TVA that Trump has made clear in private that, “in effect,” he wants Canada to have a “relationship of dependence on the United States, and I don’t accept that.”

This is a circular, but sound take on Canada/US relations. Conway has been watching what our Prime Minister is doing!

If you have a half hour...

The theatrics dominated news cycles. And everyone thought they witnessed Trump winning another confrontation. But while Trump was celebrating his apparent triumph, Canada was executing one of the most sophisticated strategic victories in modern economic history—and Trump NEVER EVEN REALIZED he was being comprehensively outmaneuvered.

🔥 THE BRUTAL TRUTH: Trump played a short-term theatrical game for headlines and applause. Canada played a long-term strategic game for actual economic power. While Trump celebrated "winning," Canada was: 
  •  Diversifying trade to eliminate American leverage 
  • Building domestic industries to replace American imports 
  • Attracting international investment from partners seeking stability 
  • Positioning as the reliable North American alternative to American chaos
