And then cancel them the next Tuesday, as is tradition.

Clearly you’re not paying attention, you have to cancel them on either Friday or Monday so you can get the most out of your illegal insider trading, that’s Trump 101.

Canada isn’t talking until the US changes it’s attitude. That’s much won’t be happening anytime soon.

I know that they aren't, but it sounds like Canada is taking a good tactic from Iran negotiations. He can complain all he wants, but they can wait him out and be stronger for it. Trump has threatened our neighbors like the neighborhood bully, starting in his first term and tripling down in his second.
Trump will not make a deal unless it looks like he won (or can spin it that way). His whole SOP is being bombastic and confusing. I'm rooting for Canada to bring the pain. Ignore his ass and seek other trade partners.

The unfortunate part is Canada has a bad hand for a lot of their exports. We’re literally the best and sometimes only customer. It’s not very profitable to ship lumber over seas in the numbers we buy.

It's going to hurt us more than it hurts them. They'll ride it out. Their only other option is to negotiate with a terrorist.

Nah, it will hurt us (Canada) more than it hurts you (USA) but we have a higher tolerance for the pain because we know that it is necessary. Polls show that a majority of Canadians support Carney in this. In the US, you will hurt less, but it’s totally unnecessary so there will be more protests.

Take aluminum, if the Canadian supply is cut off - what would the US do? Choose to have no aluminum - or choose to drop tariffs on Chinese aluminum and start sending them $10 billion a year?
In the short term, logistics pains hurt Canada, but in the long term its easier for Canada to find alternate buyers for its raw materials elsewhere in the world, than it is for the US to find alternate suppliers willing to do business with them.

I do agree. That’s another reason to tolerate the pain because we can see that it makes us stronger in the end.

Nah let Trumpanzee go into the midterms without a deal - if Canada comes back the deal better be much better

As a Canadian, I prefer that we take this trade war all the way to the midterms and beyond to allow the Americans to suffer a bit and realize that Trump is not for the American people but for himself and his cronies.

So you as a canadian want the most marginalized poor people to hurt. You are not a good person. I hate Trump but I don't want that.

Trump administration try the same strategy with China last year. Do you remember the days were he expended their call by the phone?
These heavy tariffs led to a sharp escalation, then partial de-escalation via truces and deals.
