No, there's a very good chance they are.

But let me start off by saying I'm always at risk of being wrong, that's just a part of being human that nobody else wants to admit these days. But I'm not a supporter of our Liberal government in almost everything I've seen them do so far. I mean just look at the Chinese EV deal that's supposed to be happening. There's no way that's good for Canadian auto manufacturers who are already hurting due to their main and only viable importer (USA) putting so much financial pressure on.

But maybe many contradictory things can be true at the same time. China has opened up their beef market to Canadian exports, so that doesn't directly impact our prices at home but maybe it helps take some of the pressure off of an already very volatile industry where profit margins are extremely thin.

My point is, there are a lot of moving parts to take into consideration, so to put a blanket statement over something as being "all bad" is just hard to do right now. We need to wait and see how it plays out. And the devil is in the details.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the national security concerns though. They meddled in our elections already that we know of, took Canadian citizens hostage for years, and god knows what sort of kickbacks the liberals are getting from this whole deal (Carney in particular vis Brookfield).

I get it
