🇨🇦 How a Mexico-U.S. trade deal could set the terms for Canada

Ottawa is somehow a party to CUSMA and still risks being handed its terms after Washington and Mexico cut the real deal first. That is the whole Trudeau-era posture in one humiliating frame: Canada waiting by the phone while others decide the tariff regime, the economic security regime, and the concessions. Even the experts admit that whatever Mexico accepts could become the floor for Canada later, as reported. Sovereign country on paper, branch office in practice.

The spin says do not panic, there may be private communication, Canada could jump back in at any moment. Right. Formal talks collapsed in August, there have been no formal meetings since, and Washington is openly using renewal leverage to squeeze settlements on other disputes. That is not strategy, that is weakness dressed up as diplomacy. If Mexico secures tariff relief by aligning more closely with U.S. demands, Ottawa will be told to salute and call it rules-based trade. This is what happens when a country forgets national interest and starts governing by globalist delusion.
