Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's setting a goal for the country to double its non-U.S. exports in the next decade, saying Canada’s former strengths based on close ties to the United States have become vulnerabilities.
I mean at the least it looks like we’re taking some steps to avoid the clusterfuck that the USMCA resigning is likely to be by getting ahead of it.
Its not hard to double exports to other countries when your main trading partner (US) stops taking your stuff. Talking out of my ass, but it seems like doubling exports to other countries wouldn’t be that hard when we wind up having a surplus because US trade dries up. Seems like it’d push prices of our goods lower and hurt Canadians, which is what he seems to be implying to me.

So, you are saying we sold all our possible exports to only the US?
Why should Europe import our lumber?
Carney is softening us up to the reality that tariffs will last as long as the US wants them to, and there is fuck all he can do about it.
