Local MP says Carney needs to stand up to Trump in negotiations

A Canadian digital services tax irritated President Trump and the U.S. administration last week.

It did so much so that Prime Minister Carney was told implenting it would end trade negotations between the two countries.

Leeds-Grenville-Thousand-Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Michael Barrett, a member of the opposition, didn’t like the move.

Barrett adds he doesn’t support other governments trying to dictate our country’s policies.

Barrett says Canadian negotiators need to do a better job when it comes to standing up to the U.S. administration over issues like the rescinded tax.
