Jonathan Emmesedi<p>British parliamentarian calls on the U.K. to rally around Canada, throws poutine party | Radio-Canada.ca</p><p>I don't love Davey and the LibDems, but he is absolutely right in his urging Keir Starmer to stick up for Canada.</p><p>The UK should be forthright in its support for Canada's resistance to Trump's annexationist bullying for a number of reasons:</p><p>- we British have a historic link to Canada, and should always be mindful of the sacrifices Canadians have made on our behalf.</p><p>- tiptoeing away from Canada in the hope of avoiding Trump trade measures harmful to the UK would not only betray Canada but also damage our own national interests. Trump has already shown his untrustworthiness with regard to existing agreements, so any deal made with his administration cannot be used as a secure basis for business planning. A readiness to sell out Canada signals to others that we ourselves are not a reliable partner; it also signals to Trump that we are weak, intimidated by threats, and thus liable to fold in negotiations with him. Rather than trying to secure a narrow US-UK trade deal without regard to Canadian interests, we should recognize our vital interest in working together with Canada, the EU, and other important trade partners on a joint strategy to halt the Trump led slide into global economic disruption.</p><p>- acquiescing to Trump's bullying in the Americas is to acquiesce to regional bullying everywhere.</p><p><a href="https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2147516/british-parliamentarian-calls-on-the-u-k-to-rally-around-canada-throws-poutine-party" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/new</span><span class="invisible">s/2147516/british-parliamentarian-calls-on-the-u-k-to-rally-around-canada-throws-poutine-party</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CanadaUKRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadaUKRelations</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CanadaUSRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadaUSRelations</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EdDavey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EdDavey</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KeirStarmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeirStarmer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a></p>
