The one positive I see in this is that Trump's threats lit a fire under this government's ass and that Trudeau is facing the reality that is not the alpha he believes he is. I must wonder if this strategy is part of "the big ask" to get some minor concessions because putting these tariffs on the USA's biggest trading partners is going to be painful for them, at least in the short term. Frankly, Canada has been in a desperate need of a reckoning for decades now. We have become too fat and lazy because our geographic position, becoming utterly economically and militarily dependent on. There are no half-measures this time. Unfortunately, half-measures are all Trudeau does.
