[68style]

It’s a deadline Trump stated not an opinion piece, google it, there’s a million different news sites all with the same date, stop being a fucking retard.

If you knew what Carney's comment was referring to, then it is even worse that you made the comment the way you did. Because now you are intentionally misleading the audience on what you were planning to say next:

Your first sentence is clearly referring to Canada's trade negotiations with the US, and how Carney has not been able to make any meaingful progress. So when you brought up Carney's quote on having free trade by Canada Day, you were clearly suggesting or otherwise trying to confuse / mislead the reader into thinking that Carney meant he would get the US-Canada free trade negotiations done by Canada Day.

So there are really only 2 possible explanations on why you wrote what you did:

1) you were mis-informed yourself in thinking that the Canada Day deadline was for US-Canada free trade, or

2) you knew the Canada Day date was for inter-provincial free trade, but you used it alongside with the US-Canada free trade negotiations to mislead the readers into believing that Carney is ineffective in his negotiations with Trump.

#1 means you are mis-informed / incompetent. And #2 means you intentionally wanted to mislead people.

So take your pick. Which one is it?

We will continue to do so as we work towards the revised deadline of August 1."

Carney Twitter comment was made on July 10. How many times since then has Trump moved the goal post on US-Canada trade negotiations? And how do you negotiate with an irrational party that is clearly negotiating in bad faith? Are we supposed to blame ourselves for that?

"Trump is a transformational President with a relentless focus on the American worker." - Mark Carney

The original deadline was July 21st then it became August 1st. Both deadlines were blown through. The only thing achieved were embarrassing concessions with the US and nothing in return. Do you think Carney should read The Art of The Deal?

There are many issues that the Office of the US Trade Representative lists the unfair trade practices it claims Canada engages in, starting on page 57. Most of the issues Trump has with Canada are not new and were existing issues under the Biden administration too.

That's right, PP would have blasted into that whitehouse and said

"Listen you Orange Bitch, Canada's not to be fucked with!, take your tarriffs and shove them up your ass"

And Trump would have said "Oh I'm so sorry Mr. PP, you're right, I'm cancelling all the tariffs, and because you're so big and strong and put me in my place I'm giving tax subsidies to all Canadian goods coming across the border"

And that would have been that.
