00:00:00.000What did you make of Mark Carney's Friday afternoon surprise?
00:00:04.200Well, it wasn't as surprising to me just because we've actually seen this play out twice now.
00:00:09.360He got in on the elbows-up agenda, as you've been talking about,
00:00:13.560and then he went a little softer when he came to the Oval Office and talked with Donald Trump face-to-face,
00:00:20.560which you would assume would be the time you would drop your own retaliatory tariffs
00:00:25.220and then you'd want to make a deal, and we didn't.
00:00:28.800And then right after we had that meeting, like a couple of weeks later, we had the digital services tax issue where we tried to implement what was effectively a new tariff on U.S. big tech companies that obviously caused the American negotiators to walk away from the table because even the Biden administration had been telling us not to do that.
00:00:50.260we had to rescind that to get them to come back to the table and then we failed to negotiate like
00:00:55.580the the readouts from people like Howard Lutnick and President Trump himself when they were talking
00:01:00.880about the negotiations with Canada it sounded like we were just in the room and saying hey we're like
00:01:05.920PB&J we are better together and that's basically our negotiating standpoint that we should just
00:01:11.340get along we didn't put anything on the table we didn't even make any demands or threats we made
00:01:16.720we did nothing because even when trump was asked he said what negotiations we're not talking about
00:01:21.620anything and uh and then now what we're doing and this is why somehow carney keeps triangulating
00:01:28.920himself the worst position on every issue he's now gotten rid of the retaliatory tariffs just to get
00:01:34.700back to the table we keep having to make concessions just to make come back to the table
00:01:40.020so it's the worst way of having to give something up it's not even to get something done it's just
