I’m interested to see if this spurs other countries to push back on this administration. Once you get a couple of countries to collectively stand firm is when things take a turn. Bullies can only push for so long | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I suspect that instead of treating the US as a bully, and pushing back, we are treating the US as a troll, and just looking away instead. We'll go trade with other countries and stop giving the troll the attention it craves. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What Canada is doing is turning to trade with other countries. It is the main solution we have to this issue. It is a long game, but necessary. Ganging up on the US isn't likely to work well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Pushing back against a US that is at this point economically and militarily dominant does nothing. It might push for cooperations outside the US-sphere. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It won't. This isn't the first time Canada has had to stand alone against Trump while the rest of the world goes along to get along. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
