Bit of an over simplification of how to get things done in world economics.
"Act" a part and the other country folds its interests? I think not.
Most Canadians, I'm assuming, don't want a yes-man Prime Minister when it comes to America and trade disuputes; many of which we've been ruled as winning by different bodies.
So how do you dispute....disputes with out ruffling some feathers?
I'm not saying they were smart (the Libs) but I don't think the Cons did much in this case except come in very late in a game that was already running.
Could be wrong.
