Canada’s chief trade negotiator forced to ‘chase after the Americans’ in France

Jim and Iain target Canada's frantic trade diplomacy at the G7 summit, mocking the government's weak positioning against the United States. They kick off by breaking down a press scrum clip featuring U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, laughing at how he shuts down CBC reporter David Cochran for asking the same question twice. They view this as a humiliating reminder that mainstream media figures act as compliant "slaves" who get zero respect from their political masters, despite traveling on the taxpayer-funded jet. They dismiss LeBlanc's reassurance that CUSMA trade talks with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are not a "one-way conversation," arguing that Canada is actually in a desperate, submissive position, chasing American officials around France because they lack the leverage to dictate terms. They point out that key American trade irritants—like Canada's supply management system and speech-suppressing online media laws—are completely ignored by the CBC. Turning to the Prime Minister, they scoff at Mark Carney's defense of being denied a formal bilateral meeting with Donald Trump, even though Trump granted one-on-one sessions to several smaller, non-G7 nations. They mock Carney's desperate attempts to spin the snub by bragging about having "seven or eight discussions" with Trump on random topics, including wishing the U.S. President a happy birthday and bringing him a gift. They joke that Carney probably offered up Canada's soul or supply management as a present just to get into the "cool kids" club. Ultimately, they conclude that while Carney acts like a puffed-up, arrogant rooster when meeting with smaller Nordic nations, his submissive behavior at the G7 reveals just how much the Canadian government is groveling to stay in America's good graces.
