Canadians are torn about whether to put their elbows up or down in U.S. trade war: poll

OTTAWA — Canadians are split on whether Canada should go into trade negotiations with the U.S. with elbows up or down when it comes to retaliatory tariffs, according to a new poll.

The Leger/Postmedia poll suggests that 45 per cent of Canadians still believe Canada’s position vis-à-vis U.S. President Donald Trump should be “elbows up.” That means that Canada should impose counter-tariffs on all new U.S. border levies, even if it risks further retaliation from the Trump administration.

I’m not sure faith in Carney is justifiable.
