“When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness,” Carney said. “We accept what’s offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating. This is not sovereignty. It’s the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.”
Lisa Raitt, a former Conservative cabinet minister, said Carney’s speech was “smart.” But like Blais, she said she’s concerned about the fallout.
“How is Mr. Trump going to deal with this? And what does the Canadian public think about the risk that we’re taking when we take such a stance?” Raitt said on Power & Politics.
Fuck Lisa Raitt. tfg’s opinion on this is not our concern. yes, we’re going to suffer.
