On Tuesday, The Conservative Treehouse<\/a> posted an article about the breakdown of the trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada. The article explains exactly what the four points of disagreement were.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Trade Emissary LeBlanc outlined the major fracture points that drove Prime Minister Mark to reject the deal. I\u2019ll put the full interview below which everyone should watch because what LeBlanc outlined is rather funny. Carney was obviously looking for a reason to walk away, because the fracture points were ridiculously small.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Essentially, it boils down to four issues. !1) Removal of tariffs on Canadian assembled Semi-Trucks. (2) U.S. streaming services writing code for \u201csearch engines\u201d in the French language. (3) Canada demanding 5% of gross revenues from U.S. tech platforms, and the last one is silly because it already exists: (4) the U.S. having a right to reject a trade deal made by Canada with a non-market economy, ie. CHINA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article includes a video of Trade Emissary LeBlanc outlining the four points.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Taking the issues one by one we start with \u2666U.S. tariffs on Canadian Semi Trucks<\/span>.\u00a0 Canada wanted tariffs on Big Rigs removed. The U.S. said no.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason is simple.\u00a0 Big Rigs assembled\/built in Canada are falling apart in the USA. Why? Because they are full of cheap Chinese component goods and parts that wear out quickly.\u00a0 The U.S. wants two things on this issue. Either: (1) Make them in the USA, or (2) stop using cheap Chinese component parts.\u00a0 The parts that Canada are using are not even available in the USA because we tariff and reject them, so why should we accept them when Canada installs them?\u00a0 Either quit using Chinese parts (hence, the trade alignment against Chinese imports), or accept a tariff equal to the rate we would apply if the product was coming directly from China.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article then goes on to explain the other three items.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Mark Carney blew up the trade discussion based on his demand that: Canada should be allowed to make any deal they want with China; that Chinese component parts be allowed in Canadian assembled Semi Trucks; that streaming services install a French language search engine; and that tech platforms pay him to censor information and subsidize official narratives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, Mark Carney was looking for an excuse\/justification not to make a trade deal, and make a political statement that would appeal to the uber leftist French Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and his partners in Beijing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clear enough?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can assure Mark Carney that making a deal with China is similar to the deal the lady made with the dying snake when she took him in. Canada’s largess will not be answered with reciprocal largess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
