It's a trade negotiation, it's literally all about the jobs.
I get that you aren't affected but thousands are.
By your logic, we should just not do anything with our largest trading partner and I dunno, just wait for almost half a decade until we like the administration?
The cavalier attitude is a big give away. Usually folks worried about their kids and mortgages understand the costs.
No, I guess being well read and having empathy kind of allow me to consider how things affect other Canadians who are not me?
Oh God you're insufferable.
And correct.
So far, the replies have been "everyone should just drop all American services, that's a minor detail for IT" and "a trillion dollar trade negotiation isn't actually about jobs."
I get the kneejerk reaction but damn, this is silly bordering on depressing.
Nope, re-read what I wrote. What in there says you can't come up with a valid opinion?
It's more "your opinion doesn't seem to give any weight, relief or aid to those who are affected in any way shape or form."
What in what I wrote leads you to this?
I correctly noted this doesn't affect you and that it does affect mamy.
Your position, as far as I can tell is:
I think that the jobs really do matter to a lot of people and that when the US has significantly more leverage you Canada has very few options.
Again, noting that your position really hurts a lot of people doesn't mean you can't have a position rather, it's that you support a position that really hurts people.
