Canadian businesses discount their product so that their buyers don't have to pay the cost of the tariffs.  

If that's the case who's pouring all those billions into the US governments coffers?

We are at the moment. it's been very well covered that canadian busienss are currently paying the tariffs themselves by discounting them from the price and eating them, and it's also been very widely reported that they can't keep doing so for much longer at all, and they're concerned that when they have to go back to paying full price their orders will dry up entirely.

But... either way how did you get "carney writes a check to trump" out of that? LOL wait till the weekend before you start drinking   

In the end this is what will kill him. 

You can announce whatever you like and post whatever figures you like but if people feel they're personally not better off then you're going to have a problem.

You think American companies aren't having to do the same thing?

Since being elected on April 28th, PM Carney and his government have hit the ground running turning promises into action both at home and on the world stage.

Here’s a look at what they’ve accomplished so far, and what’s coming next:


 Domestic Wins

 One Canada Act Passed
– Reduces interprovincial trade barriers and improves cooperation among provinces and territories.
– Early agreements signed with Ontario, BC, and Atlantic premiers.

 Middle-Class Tax Relief & Affordability
– Introduced tax cuts for middle-income Canadians.
– Announced measures to tackle housing costs and food insecurity.

 Housing Action
– Fast-tracked funding agreements with provinces and cities to accelerate affordable builds.
– Launched a national task force to modernize building codes and speed up permits.

 Carbon Tax Repeal & New Climate Approach
– Repealed the federal carbon tax on consumers.
– Introduced a pragmatic framework to stay on track with climate goals.

 Criminal Justice & Public Safety
– Advanced Bill C-5 to strengthen bail rules and penalties for repeat violent offenders.
– Increased funding for community policing and safety partnerships.

 Team Canada Collaboration
– Convened the First Ministers Meeting to foster provincial collaboration.
– Premier Ford and others have openly supported Carney’s approach.


 Global & Trade Leadership

 G7 Summit Leadership
– Brokered agreements on AI governance and global wildfire prevention.
– Secured $4.3B in defense and reconstruction aid for Ukraine.
– Reaffirmed Canada’s NATO defense spending target by end of 2025.

 Canada–UK Trade Working Group
– Deepening trade, AI, and critical minerals cooperation with the UK.

 Reset with India
– Restored full diplomatic relations and launched working groups on trade and student mobility.

 Canada–EU Summit
– Signed an updated Strategic Partnership Agreement to expand cooperation on supply chains, digital trade, and security.

 Strengthened Australia Ties
– Joint commitments on clean energy, Indo-Pacific security, and agriculture trade.

 Historic Greenland Agreement
– Bilateral deal on Arctic sovereignty, renewable energy, and port development reinforcing Canada’s leadership in the North.

 NATO Summit
– Committed additional Arctic defense funding and enhanced Ukraine support.

 US–Canada Trade Deal
– In negotiations to modernize NAFTA/USMCA.


 Economic & Fiscal Strategy

 Attracted new EU and UK investments in critical minerals and advanced manufacturing.

 Encouraged foreign investors to buy Canadian bonds as a hedge against US unpredictability.

 Committed to balancing fiscal responsibility with growth, no plans to gut services to meet targets.


 What’s Next This Summer & Fall

 Final US–Canada trade deal expected by August.

 New Arctic sovereignty and defense investments.

 Legislation to streamline immigration and tighten border security.

 National Housing Acceleration Program rollout.

 Fall budget unveiling investments, tax cuts, and efficiency measures.


 Bottom Line
It’s been just over two months, and this government has already delivered:

 Core platform promises—tax relief, carbon tax repeal, housing action

 Major international wins—restored alliances, secured funding, strengthened security

 A clear path forward to make Canada more resilient and less dependent on any one trading partner

More work ahead but these results speak for themselves. 

 

Those are all pretty much announcements only there's nothing of substance there.

He failed it into provincial trade, nothing has changed that's of any substance. He's losing the fight on the free trade agreement. There's been no housing action at all. He hasn't delivered his fault budget. There's no new investments in the arctic yet and his commissions and other agreements like that are just basically an agreement to talk about possibly having an agreement someday. They're meaningless

So you've just proven that he's not actually achieved anything. All he's done is made a bunch of announcements that make low IQ people like yourself jump up and down. But nothing's actually improving for the people on the ground. In fact things are getting worse and that's a problem carney is going to face. He says all these great things are happening but nothing is changing and voters will realize that before long

I remember those times, when the Canadian dollar was on par with the American dollar.  Canadian GDP per capita was on par with America's. When energy was less expensive, food was less expensive, immigration policy was responsible, and housing was half the cost.  How far we have fallen.

Empty like a bucket with no sides or bottom. Oh look there's the handle.

Vague is the best you can come up with.

Well looky here we have a tax cut........

To be clear, the government should lower the tax burden on Canadians. When you add up all taxes (income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, etc.) Canadians pay, the average family spends 43.0 per cent of its income on taxes—more than on food, shelter and clothing combined. In other words, taxes are the largest single expense families face.

While the the Carney government’s proposed tax cut could help chip away at the staggering tax burden imposed on Canadians, the design of the tax cut (beyond the fact that this tax cut is paid for by borrowed money) limits its ability to improve overall economic growth and prosperity.

Well done, thanks for the dry bread and water.

I challenge you to look back at any post I've made in this forum and cite one instance where I've 'excused' or supported the last 10 years of Trudeau's government.  Try to remember that I live in the same country and understand yours and others constant rehashing of the same challenges we all live in. I know them very well.  Trudeau's gone though so maybe time to get over it...?

It's interesting, and expected I suppose that conservatives in this forum think that anyone who supports Carney naturally has to be a life long liberal supporter.  My vote like a lot of others had everything to do with the skillset and persona Carney brings, and the skillset and persona Poilievre lacks.

Awww muffin,  ANOTHER emotional break down?  You're up to about one a day now  

Sorry the truth hurts but that's just a fact.  And no surprise, we saw justin doing this all the time and these guys are the same guys that advised him. 

Carney knows the shine is starting to wear off and he's got to at least LOOK like he's doing something or he's going to be in real trouble.  So he's creating 'photo ops' and 'announcements' and probably has a few more he plans on releasing at strategic times but they're just not of any substance. He's faililng at housing, he's failing with trump, he's failed with interprovincial trade barriers which he said would be "gone" by "July",  he's not doing great with immigration as it turns out and people are saying they're worse off now than ever before and nothing's getting actually fixed. 

So this kind of useless crap is what we get.  "announcements" with germany that one day we may have something to announce  

Please try to cope with that without having your usual hissy fit

Canada struggles to ease Trump tariffs despite Carney concessions

       Canada does not expect Donald Trump to drop all his tariffs on the country, officials have said, despite Mark Carney’s move to slash levies on US imports in a bid to win a trade deal in Washington.

Dominic LeBlanc, Canada’s top trade official with the US, led a delegation to Washington this week after Ottawa scrapped retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars' worth of American goods.

The group met Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, among other officials — but left without a deal.

Everybody is noticing.  Carney is failing, giving up tonnes of tariffs and concession after concession and not only getting nothing, but trump keeps upping our tariffs. 

Complete fail.

Imagine if people in the 1% top earners paid 43%.

You people get apoplectic at the mere suggestion.

Care to meet somewhere in the middle on this or would you rather cut the 1% even more slack?

that 1 percent already pays the vast majority of the taxes directly, 

And their businesses and investments pay the salaries of the people who pay a huge percentage of whats left. 

Maybe is someone is paying 100 times what you are already for the same services, they're paying enough
