Definitely capitulated

For Evan Solomon, the federal minister responsible for AI, to claim that his boss, Mark Carney, has not capitulated to Donald Trump in the ongoing trade war is incorrect and disingenuous. Solomon thinks that dropping the digital sales tax and many other retaliatory tariffs while getting nothing in return is not a form of capitulation. That’s mind-boggling. Further, to characterize our tariff burden as acceptable because the average rate is some five per cent, and still better than what many nations suffer, is ludicrous. An average rate of five per cent does nothing to help steel, aluminum and other producers struggling with 50 per cent tariffs.
