And all I got to do is listen to this guy whine and complain?
I think what that is is political marketing, right?
The Canadians have the second best deal in the whole wide world.
If they continue this path, right, which is a political path of a certain thing, I'm going to go fly to China, I'm going to open up my markets to China, I'm going to take Chinese electric cars and do all sorts of this stuff, then when USMCA gets renegotiated... This year...
This year, sort of like towards the end of the summer, in the middle of the summer, do you think the President of the United States is going to say, you should keep having the second best deal in the world?
I mean, you guys are such great friends.
I mean, they are playing with a set of rules that they haven't really thought through.
they've sort of given a sort of a roadmap of saying, so I guess we should change the whole deal, right?
You want to be like the rest of the world.
You don't want to be this favored neighbor because you've taken it so for granted that you're willing to come to Davos and say there's two hegemonic powers in the world and we're going to decide which one we're going to work with.
Really?
You're going to either work with the United States of America where 75% of your economy is totally tied to it or China?
Why would you say that?
It just, I think it's political, you know, I think if we take it correctly, we should look at it as just political noise coming out of a prime minister and maybe this is working for his election, right?
Because I don't think it can be real because if you took out the math,
of Canada's economy and doing business with the United States of America's $30 trillion economy.
There's no such thing as changing what they have today.
No one would vote for changing what they had today.
Now, maybe they're marketing it well for their politics, but they're surely not marketing it well for their fundamental economics for long-term the United States.
So it's the H200, right?
