Wow. Just wow.
The Trump Administration wants Canada to gut bilingual labels, strip French-language requirements from electronics and manuals, and put a leash on subsidies for French culture and French media online.
No wonder Carney walked.
Good.
Some things are not sitting on the bargaining table with a price tag tied to their ankle.
That’s the part the USA never seems to understand about Canada. We’re right next door, but sometimes they look across the border and see nothing but meat on a butcher’s scale: language, culture, identity.
They just see numbers, statistics, and leverage. Something to carve up if the deal is fat enough.
Then Canada says no, and suddenly Americans look surprised.
Sorry.
Culture and language are not for sale.
