In order for Mark Carney to get a deal, he has to now sign a deal like they did in Argentina for the Kuzma agreement alongside Donald Trump and then stand shoulder to shoulder with the guy and say to Canadians, this deal between us, you can trust this. matched

This is good. matched

But does anybody believe that Donald Trump can sign an agreement on tariffs that because of either forest fire smoke or a bunch of really bad stories on fentanyl or the American anthem gets booed at a bunch of hockey games or something, or if Donald Trump just has a moment? matched

Like imagine Mark Carney risks all of his political capital and everything that he's assembled and all of the weight of where he's at right now. matched

And by the way, all of the momentum and energy around where he is politically right now, which could be directed at incredible projects, like whether it's building a West Coast pipeline, re-industrializing parts of Ontario, building reconciliation within Canada on the National Energy Project. matched

You see the PQ walking away from their referendum question. matched

which buys us a five-year time horizon to do some really important stuff with Quebec. matched

Reconciliation with the province of Alberta. matched

That energy that has been built up as a consequence is not just political energy, but steered toward projects for the public good. matched

All of that's been built up. matched

Now, imagine you take a piece of that and you say, well, I'm going to risk some of this or all of this, and I'm going to put my arm around Donald Trump and say this tariff deal is good for Canada. matched

And then matched

You call a quick election in order to capitalize that and build the momentum. matched

And then halfway through the election campaign, Donald Trump says, we're going to put a 4% tariff on Canadian alcohol coming to the United States because I just don't like this Doug Ford guy. matched

Mark Carney's political capital collapses overnight. matched

And we have a complete mess in front of us. matched

And it's a nightmare. matched

And then he has to explain, well, yes, he's violating the agreement that I'm campaigning on now. matched

But it's only 4%. matched

It's this. matched
