If you let the tantruming baby have his way all the time, he'll continue expecting to get his way all the time when he's older

I always think of this song every time I hear 'elbows up'.

I always thought he DST was stupid so to me this is nothing more than placating Trump.

Only the stupider Canadians that don’t understand negotiating.

[–] CircaV 1 points 1 week ago

I understand that Carney could have held on to it until the end of the negotiation. Instead he gave it up and got zip in return. Not to mention, the costs of the DST would have translated to higher costs to Canadians. So he was always gonna let that one go. The timing of it was not ideal.

The only saving grace is if we go in on a DST with the EU later and if a deal is not struck by July 21 I fully expect the DST to be back on (seeing as it needs Parliament to be sitting in order to repeal which won’t be until September).
