If Trump (proven negotiator par excellence) were Canada he would not do
ANYTHING until someone actually MOVED. We gobbled up his bait hook line
and flywheel, he pulled our chain and we started barking like alley dogs
and our government shattered into pieces like some shithouse mirror
whereas it will be his own people that will shoot the tarrifs down. We
should've waited for that before breaking out in pimples.
