What’s Canada getting in return for concessions to the US? Carney’s answer: CUSMA
Mark Carney was asked a direct question in Alberta: after dropping the digital services tax, watering down streamer rules, and sharing Gordie Howe Bridge revenues, what exactly did Canada get back?

His response was classic Carney — long, technical, full of selective numbers, and short on a clear answer.

Jim Csek and Iain Burns break it down:
• The concessions already made
• The non-answer on digital services tax and streamers
• The claim that “everybody wants to do more with Canada… except the United States”
• The uncomfortable implication that the main prize is simply keeping CUSMA — a deal Canada already had

Is this pragmatism… or just more smoke while the terms keep shifting against Canada?
