Somewhere Emily Litella is wondering what the Canadians have against daylight savings time. She might think they would want more daylight rather than less.
its unlike mark carney to waste other people's time with on\off\on.... tariff and trade nonsense.
since canada is not looking for bribes, maybe it was on the off-chance someone in the gop would grok that services are part of the trade balance. mission impossible.
I am assuming they did not expect talks to be cancelled, be adding just another bargaining chip. When Trump over-reacted, they pulled back because of the harm this is all doing to them is greater than striking some form of deal.

Canada does have a choice. If they want access to big markets, they will pay more.
If you want to have an app on an iPhone platform, you have to get permission and pay Apple 15-30% of the revenue. The same if you want to be a merchant on Amazon. You pay Amazon too.
Are the above bribes? The previous admin had tariffs: were they bribes too?
how thick can MAGA be? has no idea who i was referring to regarding on\off\on tariff time wasting. at least trump is always on the receiving end when dealing with putin.
bribes are the only reason for 1-on-1 tariff 'negotiations' when dozens-hundreds of parties are involved in complex interdependent exchanges such as global trade. its called game theory, and by this not trump's ability to lose @noughts&crosses. (ref: numerous biz bankruptcies by the great dealmaster)
now tell us how growth will outpace gop deficits, which has never happened.
