You’re talking yourself in circles here. How is saying “everything is on the table” damaging to negotiations and your position?
Trump apparently says ridiculous things to get himself a better deal, so what Canada should do is respond by “fighting” (vague definition) to get a better deal, but we should make sure that “fighting” doesn’t include anything ridiculous, includes (unnamed) tariffs that aren’t as damaging, doesn’t include being prepared for if comments aren’t just bluster, includes rogue premiers with no authority knocking on his door and attempting to advocate for their own interests with no authority, and results in a “better” deal for Canadians which Trump is simply going to give us because we were gentle, took whatever he gave, and could even put up a unified front for an hour.
Sounds like a great plan.
How do you advocate for a win-win deal when you have no terms, no experience, no authority, and no backbone?
Oh, so it’s a big deal is it? And if we pulled that trigger it’d likely harm the US considerably? I mean putting a tax on our largest export… seems expensive for them. You’re right, we should consider doing it.
I keep answering your questions. You refuse to answer mine. I can only guess why that is when all I’m asking is for you to expand on things you’ve actually said. You can keep throwing an insult into every second line if you want, but it’s pretty clearly projection at this point.

I'm answering your relevant questions, expanded several times over, you just don't get it. Whether its willful ignorance, or plain lack of comprehension, I'm not entirely sure, but thats got nothing to do with me, what i am familiar with, or my experience. Thats all on you.
And cry all you want about mud slinging, you are right there in the muck with me.
Not much more to say.
