How left and right read it
Left says
What stands out is the imbalance in who gets to set the terms. If U.S. officials are asking for an "entry fee" before formal talks, and Canada still has no date while Mexico has already had two rounds, the concern is whether a major negotiation is being structured around pressure rather than a fair process between partners.
Is this how the left would actually put it?
Right says
The key issue is whether Canada can defend its own negotiating position without paying upfront just to begin talks. Carney’s refusal to make additional concessions and insistence that the United States will not dictate terms puts sovereignty and leverage at the center, especially with the July 1 review deadline approaching and trade-policy disagreements still unresolved.
