Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 22/08/20261/5 The Prime Minister was right to walk away from the negotiating table last night. I believe Canadians are united in this crucial moment, on this crucial point: no deal is better than a bad deal.2:19 PM · Aug 22, 2026 341604314
Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 22/08/20262/5 Accepting a deal that would lock in pointless, destructive tariffs and undermine our ability to regulate big tech would have been disastrous for our workers, industries and sovereignty. PM Carney read the room by rejecting the Americans’ offer. 250635

Mr Tophat @mrtophat8.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caThe so called "art of the deal guy" knows nothing about negotiating a win-win deal. He is, along with his hit man (Lutnick) a mob boss who only understands "I win you lose". The world is turning away from the US . What a gift to Putin & Xi who are happy to see their useful idiot weaken the US. 2432

Sally 🇨🇦 @sallyf.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caWe are united. I am glad to see this note. We were the grownups in the room and presented our positions in good faith. We clearly don't have that on the other side and must act accordingly. It will be tough from here, but I am so glad team Canada is holding. 2501

pky55.bsky.social @pky55.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caThanking my (hopefully!) Canadian friends for not purchasing US goods or spending your money here. We are too out-gunned to overthrow repubs and rump, only leaving public economic “sanctions”. Most here are too weak and stupid to boycott and strike. We old hippies do it every day and way we can! 210
Karen Geier @karengeier.com · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caWe should have never agreed to negotiate. Say it. 060
Exhausted in QC 🇨🇦 @ninjazz636.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caI think it was the right move, but let’s not forget that there will be consequences to this. Companies will close and jobs will be lost. We must start creating incentives for businesses to come setup in Canada because more will be leaving now. 2170

Lost in Alberta @caroyyc.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caIt's time to play hard ball. We will suffer in the short term but we Canadians know sacrifice. We know how to pull together and support each other. The Orange Monstrosity and his slimy sycophants will be done destroying our fragile world come November (I hope) then the repair work can commence. 130
VirusSucks.com @virussucks.com · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caCanada needs to tax all oil production and not gasoline at the pump ⛽ To make the US pay for fighting and prevent wildfires, as well as reduce both PM2.5 and NO2 pollution. 80% of all Canadian oil production goes to the US. 160
Eric Doherty @ericdoherty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caCanada is united, and on fire. Now is the time to join Europe and most of the world in transitioning rapidly off fossil fuels. Solar, wind and batteries are already less expensive, continued participation in Trump's crusade to save big oil makes zero sense. #cdnpoli 0112
Erin Butler @eleighbutler.bsky.social · 22/08/2026↪ Replying to @avilewis.caDonald Trump has only ever had one move in negotiations: bully. That's it. That's all he does, and that's all he's done. A bad deal would have lasted longer than he will. 071
