I also think it gives him a small bit of leverage too. They can always be reinstated the taxes since it was a 2020(?) bill with a deferred effective date

    Yes if they don't get what they want or Trump is unreasonable they can certainly bring them right back.

    This is a huge bargaining chip, and the Americans know this too...

    Carney hasnt given us a reason to not believe in his ways yet, as much as the conservative opposition scream foul before anything has begun.
