So the booze bans, if I remember right, came in as part of the response to the US imposing tariffs, tariffs they justified with a flimsy excuse of 'fentanyl!'. The US didn't like that we responded to their clearly abusive/disrespectful tariffs, by applying more tariffs. Now Carney is negotiating to lower those tariffs in part by ending what little resistance/push-back Canada had shown.

Carney's disappointing.

Still better than PP.

As Trump's lapdog it's hard to say he's better. He's the equivalent of what we thought PP would be.

Then you had a far higher opinion of PP than many of the people I know.
