Justin Trudeau wants to revive UK-Canada trade talks in shadow of Trump – POLITICO
www.politico.eu

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing to restart stalled trade talks with the U.K. as Canada seeks to reduce reliance on the U.S. amid Trump’s trade war.

While Trudeau secured a temporary delay on U.S. tariffs by agreeing to border security measures, uncertainty remains.

Talks with the U.K. broke down last year over agricultural disputes, but Canada sees renewed negotiations as beneficial for trade diversification.

    New Labour is Rightwing, specifically it is Neoliberal with some touches of Conservative as their policies are basically Thatcherism with an extra hard-on for the US.

    Macron in France is Rightwing, so much so that his Government only exists with the support of the Front Nationale (i.e. the Far Right).

    The SPD in Germany “unwaveringly supported” the Far-Right regime in the extreme Apparheid state of Israel all throughout them committing a Genocide - kinda hard to be more Rightwing than supporting the regime behaving the closests to the Nazis since the actual Nazis whilst justifying that support with the race that regime claims to represent.

    Out of all of Europe, the countries you claim have no Rightwing in Government have some of the most Rightwing governments around (out of the top of my head, beaten only by Italy and Hungary).

    I bet you’re American and hence are used to an Overtoon Window so far to the Right that all of Scandinavia look like a bunch of Communists.

      Or: does Trump view them as right wing? They would all claim to be centerists. It isn’t about my viewpoint, Trump lacks natural allies in major economies

        Fair enough: from Trump’s viewpoint even the gall in Italy would look like a Leftie.

        In fact from what I’ve read about it (living in Europe and speaking a few European languages), the Far-Right around these parts is generally to the left of the Republicans in the US, with maybe the exception of Reform UK.

        (To give you a funny example of how different things can get in Europe, the Far Right in The Netherlands when they really took of a decade or so ago were led by a guy who was very openly homosexual. Also notice how women lead the Far Right in both Italy and France and if you remember it, traditionaly the Far Right in Italy - i.e. Fascism - was all about strong men)
