Summary
The article reports that after the CUSMA deadline passed, Canada West Foundation CEO Gary Mar and a former diplomat suggest it's 'business as usual' but with U.S. trade irritants driving negotiations. Mar advocates for Canada to focus its advocacy efforts on individual U.S. states rather than Washington, arguing that governors hold the real economic power. Minister Dominic LeBlanc reaffirmed Canada's support for CUSMA renewal at a trilateral meeting.
