Note the “renegotiate the trade deal” in PP’s concession speech.

*Conservatives will work with the prime minister and all parties with the common goal of defending Canada’s interests and getting a new trade deal that puts these tariffs behind us while protecting our sovereignty and the Canadian people.*

It's weird, I could have sworn we negotiated a trade deal with the US back in the nineties, and then renegotiated that same deal about eight years back. Who was the president back then? Oh, right...

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Canada a "socialist regime"

If americans don't rehab the word socialism, they're not going to even be able to have a word to talk about "making life a little less shit for the 99% that work to uphold the 1%'s lifestyle".

Or...call it something else: shelterism, anti-oligarchy, equalization, wethepeopleism...

In all fairness, a free trade deal is probably not what we, the comrades of the Socialist Regime of Canada, want. I think we'd be better off with something less Lessaiz-Faire.
