    A negotiated trade agreement with them would be huge going further into this trade war. It would make a massive difference for Canadians. Probably greatly help us over the recession. But, I definitely have questions about what it would look like.

    That all being said, it’s probably bad optics for Carney right now. It’s probably in his interest to delay this until after the election.

      Absolutely. The Chinese ambassador pretty much said that too by saying that Carney’s current stance is a posture for election… Basically giving Carney room to flip the other way after the election without China holding a grudge. At least, that’s how I read it.
