Fine. And in return we want all the "fentanyl" nonsense tariffs removed, especially if the US is doing nothing to stem the flow of firearms into Canada.

And someone should remind PH that US booze is still available online from provinces that haven't pulled it from their shelves, but Canadians still aren't buying it.

Also, open the Gordie Howe bridge that Canada footed the construction bill for. Both countries will benefit, and everything has already been negotiated. If you're not going to stick to one agreement, why should Canada trust the US on any others?

@maya_b Whoa whoa whoa, get out of here with your woke “logic” - this all sounds way too sensible! 🙄

In seriousness, we need to do some major reforms on our side of the border, if we get the chance to, to be trusted again and as much as it’s sad to say so, I can’t blame anyone for not trusting not only this admin but the idea that a future admin won’t pull the rug out. It’s especially sad because it’s 100% unnecessary as a whole, much less the specific aggreivances toward our best neighbor and trading partner. I know it’s small consolation, but most Americans love you guys just like we always did. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

thanks! and much appreciated.

unfortunately it's going to take more than just a change in administration - 74M voted for this, and until there's confidence this won't be repeated, there will be hesitation vis-a-vis the US in all areas.

I know that "electoral reform" is a forbidden topic south of the border, but it would go a long way to building trust abroad. To ensure that all candidates get at least 50% of the popular vote, even if it takes more than one round, would go a long way. The final tally, iirc, left trump with less than 50% of the vote this time around.

to be fair, there's a rising problem around the world with people who're letting perfection get in the way of progress, and solid concrete steps in the right direction just "aren't good enough" which is doesn't help anyone in the end.
