    If you think that waiting him out is expensive, I don’t think you realize the extent of the cost of giving in to someone like him who will come back month after month with new demands until we don’t have a country anymore.

      He’s doing that anyway. That doesn’t change. That’s what happens when you cave to him every time he asks for something like Carney has.

      But he does tend to honor deals. He never ripped up kousma even though he slapped millions of other tariffs on us. CUSMA is still in force.

      So no matter what happens if you have a deal the business community takes it as a certain degree of certainty and is willing to invest based on that. I guarantee you it is Infinitely more expensive to have no deal and no investments in Canada. It’s not even a question we simply couldn’t possibly survive it. We would become a third world country if investment keeps fleeing the way it has been for the last five quarters
