Via CBC News:
Prime Minister #MarkCarney, speaking in Ottawa, says that #Canada will respond to the U.S. auto tariffs with retaliatory trade actions.
The response will “have maximum impacts in the U.S.” and minimum impacts in Canada.
He adds that the government will protect workers and build a new Canadian economy.
“I reject any attempts to weaken Canada,” Carney said.
He says he'll be speaking to Trump in a day or 2.

Carney knows Trump's reputation and will be polite but firm.
Trump's response to firm is woolliness - negotiating with him has been likened to trying to nail jelly to a wall - and Carney knows that and will be prepared for it.
I'm not sure what he'll do but gentle parenting really isn't his style

I listened to him responding to questions from a UK select committee (who are supposed to know what they're talking about) and he was clearly enjoying demonstrating that he was the smartest person in the room.
I wonder if he intends to rein that impulse in when he talks to Mango Musselini

Really hoping carney ensures the first discussion is done publicly and not in a phone call.
That way 🍊head cant attempt any of his narc games.
