Here's my theory: Carney dropped the DST because of supply management on dairy. My evidence is sparse, but:

Last month, the U.S. and Britain announced a trade deal related to a range of products. But Britain’s 2-per-cent DST was not affected.

(From the Globe)

That shows other countries have a DST but that hasn't been a sticking point in trade negotiations.

Meanwhile, Quebec really likes supply management:

83 per cent of Quebecers want governments to do everything in their power to protect the country’s supply management system.

During the next election, Carney will probably need Quebec's support to stay in power. By giving up the DST, Carney may be able to keep supply management for dairy, and avoid alienating Quebec voters.

I guess we'll see during the final negotiations. Do our dairy farmers get to keep their protections?

Hello could you point to me where the leger firm statement about supply management is? I'm trying to find it and i can't. The only thing i found about it is citynew aka rogers saying they translated a story from lapresse but i can't even find this.

It's also stated that the poll were made in two days and pulled/asked 1001 person, so i doesn't really represent the quebec population. Also when i try to find anything related to supply management, everything is 1-2 yeara old

Tl dr: this seems like a shit report, and i'm unable to find any source. Do you have any?

Nothing beyond the link in the post. It's consistent with what I've heard in other media, the Bloc's supply management trade bill, and Maxime Bernier's recent political success (🤣).

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a push poll from the dairy industry, but it represents the goals of notable Quebec constituency.
