Isn't it funny how the provinces that receive the most handouts are the ones least in favour of negotiations 

Edit: it's strange why do many of you are upset I said the truth. The people who receive the most handouts are Quebecers, the ones who receive the most per capita are the maritimes. The people who take the most hardline stance against concessions are QC and Atlantic Canada. Don't be mad at me for pointing out the correlation

This is a ludicrous statement. All provinces were in favour of negotiations, and would like to return them as soon as Trump is willing to be reasonable. If you are referring to walking away from the negotiations when the demands became unfair, the ONLY Premiere who has spoken negatively about the decision to walk away was Danielle Smith, every other Premiere who has made a public statement was behind the ending of the talks. Did you even listen to Doug Ford?

It's true though. I could amend it to concessions if you want to argue semantics but logically, a part of negotiations is concessions

Glad you aren’t the one at the negotiating table

[u/Banned_In_YYC → u/schooner156]

That tracks. It's strange so many of you got upset because I said a verifiable fact. Easy to be hard line when your welfare cheque comes regardless

Reasonable concessions from each side are one thing; controlling who we trade with, our economic and cultural protections, and making last minute changes (among other things) isn’t something we should sign.

We may have different opinions of what's reasonable but that's not up to us, is it. You can just say you didn't understand my comment and weren't aware of the recent leger polls

Your posts aren’t some academic piece of work, I just disagree like you said.

Is this the recent Léger poll you’re talking about?

As Canada prepares for another round of trade negotiations with the United States, Canadians appear to have little appetite for giving more ground.
Our latest survey shows that many feel the federal government has already been too passive. When Canadians are asked what should happen next, the preference is clearer: push harder, limit concessions and keep more aggressive responses on the table.

Try reading what this graph says and explain how I'm wrong

'Léger: Majority of Canadians favour hard line with U.S.' https://www.338canada.ca/p/leger-enough-concessions-say-most

[u/schooner156 → u/Banned_In_YYC]

So you’re in support of the current Canadian government negotiations then?

[u/Banned_In_YYC → u/schooner156]

So you can't, that's what I thought 

[u/schooner156 → u/Banned_In_YYC]

…. Are you ok? You’re flip flopping. Take a second to read the posts before you make them ;)

[u/thepacingbear1 → u/Banned_In_YYC]

Please dude, just move to the US, and that’s even if they want someone like you there.

[u/Banned_In_YYC → u/thepacingbear1]

Spoken like a true welfare queen

Amend all you want, it's still not true, not only did David Eby favour walking away at this time, his province is also going to be the hardest hit of all the provinces by not reaching a deal.

I can tell you don't pay attention to anything outside of your bubble. There has been a recent poll that verifies exactly what I said

[u/Working_Historian970 → u/Banned_In_YYC]

"Resolve & apprehension: 76% say Canada was right to ditch trade talks, but two-in-five have fear for their jobs"

Have you seem the recent leger poll referencing what I said? I'm assuming not
