‘Apparently oil is now critical to Canada’s sovereignty and to be a major tool in the tariff war.’ Letters to the editor for July 27
That we are failing with trade talks should be no surprise. Complained, signed dozens of memorandums of understandings and paired up C-players such as Mélanie Joly, François-Philippe Champagne and Mark Carney against A-players such as Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessent and Donald Trump. Canada should harness its awesome private sector talent and sub out its career politicians and bureaucrats.
