Cool. They are hoping Biden will open the US piggy bank back up.Reuters reported:
Canada and other U.S. allies are looking to President-elect Joe Biden to re-engage with the world on such issues as climate change and free trade, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a Reuters Next interview aired on Thursday.

U.S. re-engagement on the world stage would be a welcome reversal of the short-sighted and sometimes chaotic managed retreat from world affairs that had been pursued by President Donald Trump. That retreat had undermined mutually beneficial economic ties, undercut global efforts to address climate change, and increased instability in parts of the world that are already subject to instability and/or the implications of a shifting balance of power. Re-engagement itself will be just a first step. Much work will lie ahead in restoring credibility to American commitments and repairing the economic and geopolitical damage that resulted from the Trump Administration’s abandoning numerous agreements and its misguided efforts to impose higher security costs on allied nations, even as the security partnerships are beneficial to the United States and its allies alike.

But guess what...the USMCA is still in effect.
Sorry about that, Trudeau.
USMCA is just NAFTA spelled incorrectly.Cool. They are hoping Biden will open the US piggy bank back up.

Nonsense. That's not the implication.
You are attempting to argue with religious fanaticism.
Are they simply saying that because an adult is back in the White House?
Not true. There are significant differences...and Canada was opposed to most of them.USMCA is just NAFTA spelled incorrectly.
i wonder how nervous smaller counties have been during the last month. they are at our mercy (and many just assume we'll be sane and a steadying influence on the world).Yup. Canada, like most of the rest of the world, appreciates the positive influence the US brings to global relations when there's a grown up in charge.
Icing on the cake will be if Putin is a little less cocky going forward.
Go look up a chart showing what's different between the two agreements. There are few differences listed and those that are are very palatable to Canada. It's a reasonable agreement imo.Not true. There are significant differences...and Canada was opposed to most of them.
Now that it's here, how does the USMCA differ from NAFTA?
In the final installment in a three-part series looking at the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), we see how it differs from NAFTAtax.thomsonreuters.com
See, this is the difference between Trumpers and Americans. Trumpers just cannot, for the life of them, comprehend friendship. It’s all about money and greed.Not true. There are significant differences...and Canada was opposed to most of them.

No. They are saying that because a sociopathic malignant narcissist will be gone from the White House in a few days.Are they simply saying that because an adult is back in the White House?

What can you do for me. (and me alone)See, this is the difference between Trumpers and Americans. Trumpers just cannot, for the life of them, comprehend friendship. It’s all about money and greed.
I think they'd settle for just sane!i wonder how nervous smaller counties have been during the last month. they are at our mercy (and many just assume we'll be sane and a steadying influence on the world).
Those differences are what caused Canada to walk away from negotiations...until Mexico signed on with the US. Canada had a choice to either get on board or have to negotiate bilateral agreements with each of the other two countries. They eventually made the right decision.Go look up a chart showing what's different between the two agreements. There are few differences listed and those that are are very palatable to Canada.

It's not much of a friendship when the friend is the one screwing you.See, this is the difference between Trumpers and Americans. Trumpers just cannot, for the life of them, comprehend friendship. It’s all about money and greed.
Glad we agreeIt's not much of a friendship when the friend is the one screwing you.
I don't think we walked away from negotiations. The threat was made but was seen at the time as brinksmanship as the US was also threatening to freeze us out and do a separate deal with Mexico alone. All part of the game.Those differences are what caused Canada to walk away from negotiations...until Mexico signed on with the US.
