By all accounts they were ready to strike a deal till the US decided torpedo the whole thing at the last minute by trying to get Canada to sign a deal handing over control of the country.
So neither side has released the details of the trade talks before the talks blew up. But PM Carney, who is not known for bluster or hyperbole, was asked why he was using language that made it sound like Canada is at war, his response was Canada was being attacked.
This comment goes over what was actually said by PM Carney in more detail.
Based on how Trump has treated Canada for the last 2 years and based on how talks broke down entirely, I’m inclined to believe the PM and his negotiators.
Damn, dismantling of Canadian auto and a trade veto is a MASSIVE attack on Canadian sovereignty, not artificially boosting Canadian content! Thank you for the added context!
