Good Talk - Has Mark Carney Had It With U.S. Trade Tactics and Insults?
4/24/202653 min
The Prime Minister keeps his cool in public, but he's said to sometimes lose that cool in private. This week we saw him come close to bluntly telling the Americans to back off with the demands and get with the program on trade talks. That's just one of the things up for some Good Talk with Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson this week.

Are you ready for Good Talk? [on-hold music] And hello there, Peter Mansbridge here, along with Bruce Anderson and Chantal Hébert. It is your Friday Good Talk, and as we like to say, there's always lots to talk about, and there is again this week. Um, so why don't I get started? Uh, we're gonna start, uh, you know, the word itself sounds boring to me, CUSMA. You know, Canada, US, Mexico. It's the trade talks or the trade negotiations or the trade discussions, whatever you wanna call them. Um, here's wh- here's my problem, because there are all kinds of threats and insults and demands be- you know, going mainly from south to north in, in these d- discussions, but not solely south to north. I'm trying to decide, because we don't really know if they've even started. It's not like there's gonna be a, you know, a gun go off and saying, "Okay, they're at it." We don't know. Um, so how much attention should we be giving to all the back and forths, uh, that seem to be going on here that have reached the heights? You know, the, the prime minister even was kinda into it this week in s- in terms of, I mean, we'll get to it later, but i-i-i-in the sense that enough's enough.
