Poilievre also renewed his call for Ottawa to release details of the failed trade negotiations, arguing Canadians deserve to know what deal was rejected, what the counter-tariffs will cost and what the government plans to do next. Keep Reading

The next thing is to simply remove the irritants and we would have the best trade deal in the world. Why is this so hard to see? Too proud....Of what?? We are basically a third world country now.... a communist one at that.
"Unacceptable tweets"? Really? Maybe your focus should be on more important things than trolling. Trump wants to get your goat and you give him exactly what he wants by throwing a hissy fit like a schoolchild at recess.
