NOT ALL TORIES CRITICAL OF LIBERAL NEGOTIATING SKILLS

Conservatives accused Justin Trudeau Monday of “capitulating” to U.S. President Donald Trump. “Now Justin Trudeau has to explain how we have a worse deal than NAFTA,” said Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, pictured. “Under this deal, Trudeau backed down on protecting Canada’s dairy farmers, he backed down on Canadian control on our auto industry, he backed down on Canadian sovereignty on setting prescription drug prices for Canadians.” But former Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney, who negotiated the original free trade agreement with the U.S., called the new deal “a highly significant achievement for Canada” that will benefit all three countries. And Rona Ambrose, former interim Conservative leader, tweeted her “congrats to Team Canada.”
