Supreme Court rules lawyers can breach solicitor-client privilege to defend themselves

Quote:Writing for the majority, Justice Mahmud Jamal said that while solicitor-client privilege is a cornerstone of the justice system, lawyers are not "prodigal sons or daughters" of the law, and do not have to sacrifice their own freedom to protect a client's secrets.

We're ready to deal, having appointed somebody who ran the entire civil service under both Conservative and Liberal governments to lead the negotiations.

Is the USA ready to deal?

The USA may not be ready to deal.  It looks like Trump has interpreted the Supreme Court ruling to mean he can only impose tariffs on the entire world at once.

Or maybe if Canada doesn't come to the table, the U.S. will be forced to increase tariffs on China and the EU to 80%!  How long do you think you can stand the pressure from all of your other trading partners to give in to the U.S.?  It's our new negotiating tactic: for every deal you refuse, we shoot ourselves in one additional body part.  How long can you live with that, eh hosers?

The Trump administration has clearly and repeatedly shown that you cannot make a deal with them, because they will abandon it as soon as it appeals to the wild hair across his royall hineyness today, and/or it looks like they can spin talking points to get away with it.
