One last point.
I have noted in interviews given by people who are part of the US Canada Trade Council, those are the people who are kind of a sounding board for Prime Minister Mark Carney on this issue.
Jean Charest for one, but I saw others, hint that on the list of demands now from the U.S.
administration prior to engaging in serious discussions is the notion that we bring alcohol, U.S.
alcohol, wine, beer, etc., back on the shelves in Canada.
And to me,
Both the fig leaf wrapping of the measures on digital subscriptions and this call illustrates both the strength and the weakness of Mark Carney's position domestically.
The strength is Canadians are behind him when he's not giving up a lot.
but they are not behind him or the premiers if they are looking like they're making concessions.
I would predict, living in a province that's going in an election, that if Premier Frechette were asked to bring American alcohol back on the shelves of the SAQ tomorrow and did so, she would lose votes because this is driven by voters, not by premiers or the prime minister.
I don't think we're ending the week in a great place, and we're also not ending the year in a great place on Canada-U.S.
trade.
I think what Mark Carney is going for him is that most Canadians at this point are not blaming him for that, because as Bruce rightly points out, we are talking with people whose game plan does not involve a win-win solution or even them winning.
As long as we lose, they're okay to lose.
So in that context, I have found, everyone I talk to, I found less optimism at the end of this week than at any time over the past year.
On the list of priorities of basic needs in an affordability crisis, where would you rank that in your budget?
I live in the province where these issues, because of culture being a number one issue, is hotly debated.
That $600 million is a payoff to try to tamper down the protest.
It's not necessarily renewable.
You're basically arguing we're going to replace capable revenues with taxpayer money.
