You completely misread the Canadian situation. I think you are blinded by hatred for tRump and it is warping your judgment of current events. The hatred is understandable but it is not effective and it is toxic to the hater.

Talk is cheap, Action is tough. Carney spends cheap words to keep things moving, but where it really counts, Carney is as tough as nails. That's why there is no deal yet. Carney repeatedly tells Canadians (but not you) that no deal is better than a bad deal, and they agree.

Carney is the opposite of a coward, which is why tRump keeps trash talking Canadian negotiators.

You want to know a sycophant: PM Kier Starmer of the UK.
