Mark Warner on CBC: tit-for-tat tariffs punish the smaller partner Canada is one-tenth the U.S. economy. Trade lawyer Mark Warner’s point is blunt: “When you get into a tit for tat war, it is going to be felt more on the Canadian side than the American side… They won’t... feel it as much.” Targeting states to swing Congress is a strategy from when protectionism lived on the Hill. It doesn’t now. “The problem we have is with Mr. Trump, who doesn’t really care about Congress” His alternative is a deal. They were close. Steel and aluminum tariffs are not vanishing; other countries accepted that and moved on. Britain’s one-pager with Trump may be a post it note of a trade deal, and Starmer is not treating it as an existential fight. “They’re not doing what Mr. Carney’s doing, nobody’s doing it.” Calling tariff harmonization a sovereignty surrender “doesn’t make any sense to me as a trade lawyer.” High-leverage cards—potash, energy—invite a bigger stick and logistical blowback. “If they do play them, I think that the response will be nuclear.” Midterms will not ride to the rescue. Democrats are the traditional party of protectionism. Boxing yourself in with no off-ramp “is not great negotiation, especially if you’re the weaker party.” The integration exists because of the agreement. Preserve it Mark Warnershow more

@face_victory The people on the TV told me Carney was the only one who knew how to deal with Trump. So confusing!

a voice of reason- @MAAWLAW Myself and many of my friends from Wall/Bay St have alleged from day 1 @markjcarney hasn't had, nor has now any intention to negotiate a trade deal vs America in good faith. The question left hanging with us and with this interview is why? @les_politiques #com #cdnpoli

So, it seems Mr Warner wants to just lie down and be flattened by The Bully... BOOOOOOO ! I stand with Carney and Chretien; if we don't Stand Up NOW, we may never get another chance to Protect our Independence and Sovereignty.

@marcmakingsense Great reads by Mark Warner! @MAAWLAW

It’s even worse. Canada is 1/13th the nominal GDP, 1/18th the wealth and 1/20th the consumer market of USA. There’s no scenario where Washington allows Canada the last retaliation. USA can always escalate to an extent Canada can’t.

@joe_warmington More Mark Warner facts on TV and less Cochrane/Barton liberal spin - then watch the polling do a doubleback 🔄

Great interview @MAAWLAW! Canadians need to realize what’s actually at stake, instead of being emotionally swayed by Canadian politicians.

Trump should put all our military and surround Canada and ban all of Canada goods from ever coming into any country and let Canada collapse on It’s on ego. They’re so tiny we can crush them.

Wow! The cbc aired this?? It might knock some sense into people. Maybe they willl finally see that emperor Carney has no clothes.

Most Canadian manufactured autos are also made in the US.

It's one persons opinion, there are many other opinions being expressed

Trump has decided to fight everyone at the same time. Morning headline: US escalates ahead of UK trade sanctions on Israeli settlements

Britain’s deal was not legally binding and only lasted for 1 year. Starmer has been out of office for 6 weeks. What are you on about? No one else is doing what Carney is doing because no one else has the type of relationship we have with the US. Which makes this all the worse.

Good gracious. Listening to the interviewer’s heavy breathing and nose whistle was intolerable.

What Trump should do is van all products from in or out of Canada and put troops all the way around Canada to prevent any more trade with any other country and they keep them from coming into America and banned all Canadians from America and ban all trade

Libs listen - Canada has more than 45% who were not born there + one parent not born there! You are just an Islamic extremism caliphate with a Sikh minority! All the elbozos will age and perish and their kids already moved to USA.

The imbalance means tariffs won’t create equal pain—they’ll hit Canadian workers and consumers harder while weakening both economies ties

More like fighting fire with dildos.

When certain things are mentioned, like nuclear, it’s on the table and it’s going to happen, I think very soon!

Short term pain for long term gain. 75% of Canadians don’t want to be a vessel state. I’m ashamed of this damn black man and I’m black. He’s a coward.

He is correct. He understands that Trump in his essence is a Democrat and has executed Demcratic policies when it comes to international trade. The Republican part y has been the most free in trade. Things will only get worse if Democrats win the election.

A sobering reminder that retaliation carries a much heavier burden for Canada, even when the principle behind it is understandable

Retaliation we didn’t attack Canada stupid but if we did, we can take your country in 20 minutes with our military if we wanted to

Turns out the so called great negotiator is totally stupid! All talk, no results. Just cares about poll numbers.

A wise man once said, “Canada is cooked”

Carney does have an off-ramp, though: Beijing. And it will be the end of Canada.

We’ve already moved on

Dum fks🇨🇦🪦

@jkenney @acoyne @BenWoodfinden you guys can clearly see the difference when well educated and serious people express opinions. Not the slobs you guys have been passing for opinions lately.

Tit for tat? Lol crushed like a fly

I always thought given our decline and failed states in Africa, most blacks were less intelligent than westerners but I have changed my mind today after listening to this man compared to liberal elbows up Canadians bla bla who are infected with TDS

Mark is 1000% bang on. Doesn't lean on political sides just tells the truth.
