This is exactly as I said, shallow symbolism in the service of Trump's brand of populism. Unfortunately, we in Canada, provide an easy target because simply, we refuse to play the real game of politics with a neighbour that has provided an extremely beneficial relationship to this country - without which we would not exist otherwise today!
There is nothing simplistic to what I am saying. If Trudeau wants to make headway with Trump, then he has to be prepared to make some concessions, and not continually thumb his nose at the guy.

You could have just responded with an intelligent statement like this in the first place instead of the condescending, troll-ish replies that you have been doing lately in various threads.
