That’s a pretty solid list. CEOs from sectors including steel, aluminum, fertilizer, energy, rail, and banking… He’s putting together a pretty impressive grown ups table here.Here's the team, and its very balanced, O'toole and Raitt and others.

Light on the Tech side - adding a Mike Lazaridis or someone similar would be useful.
Is that likely to be a major factor in trade talks? I’m not asking out of skepticism, rather out of my own ignorance.

The concern is the US bitching about our desire to bring as much of 'Data Warehousing' (Digital Sovereignty) into Canada as possible and, I believe, to bring an end of Canadian data being subject to being sent down the to US if the US Government asks for it. From my understanding, if a US company has a data warehouse based in say Ontario and its used by say RBC for its client data, since the owner of the data warehouse is a US parent company, then the US Government can tell the US parent company to send the data to the US for the US Government to have access to it. The US law is called the US Cloud Act.
To me, 'owning' our own Data should be one of the cornerstone of our negotiations with the US.

Every dollar U.S. Big Tech can extract from Canada makes America richer and U.S. Big Tech more powerful—while making Canada more dependent on U.S. Big Tech giants and more vulnerable to their laws. And the more powerful U.S. Big Tech becomes here, the less the potential to build up Canadian...

Ah- now this is something I can immediately grasp; not trying to drag this thread into what I do, but as a cop I sometimes have to write production orders for the court to compel production of data, and the question of whether data falls subject to Canadian court orders definitely comes up.
Stepping back away from that, we should absolutely have our own sovereign cloud computing for all needed government applications, and available to Canadian business to ease compliance with data protection laws.
So, that makes sense. If access to Canadian data is a trade irritant to the U.S., too effing bad.

Also, as an FYI, by law, when you open any sort of financial account in Canada, every single Canadian financial services company is required to ask if your also a 'US Citizen' AND they are required to look for ANY signs if you maybe a US Citizens - like 'place of birth' saying US if you use your passport to open up an account as one of your pieces of ID. If they find this, then they are legally required to put down your citizenship as both Canadian and US and voila, at the end of each year your name, account numbers and account values are sent by that Canadian financial institute to the CRA where the CRA then bundles them all up and sends them down to the US/IRS.
This law is called FATCA and it came into affect about 10yrs ago.
Supposedly, though I've never met anyone who has 'seen' one, the IRS is legally obligated to do the same thing with for any Canadian citizen that has open US financial accounts as well. Given that the US has hundreds/thousands of financial institutions and how fragmented and under-technology alot of them are, I doubt that this list exists or if its anywhere near complete/accurate.

Lisa Raitt, O'Tool, and Charest?! Wow, talk about a stacked team.
Going to be very hard to spin that PMMC isn't trying to communicate across the aisle.
Really starting to threaten the existence of the 'P' in CPC.

Sigh...
Are we talking about prime ministers wives already?
Does Carney control where his kids go to school, and should we fucking care?
Has his portfolio added US assets since this whole trade war went down? Can he even divest due to it being in a blind trust?
Does Carney control the everyday workings of Brookfield?
Such lazy BS.

I am also surprised to learn the US annexed Rockcliffe Park at some point. I haven't had my passport on me and I drive through it nearly every day.

I question his sincerity in what he's saying. I expect if the seas get rough he will step down and run.
I suspect that's the intent.
