Has she brought up NATO funding? I don’t disagree with that and thought it was the most sensible move because they could put some of the border defence spending into that but I just recall smith saying we should open up dairy imports and things of that nature.

Then Trump can get on stage a crow bout how he finally got Canada to ante up like they always wanted.

That’s how you deal with people like him.

she seems afraid that a trade war with the US will crush us. I frankly agree with her. We need more of this type of diplomacy and less Trudeau and Ford asking us to finger Trump with them.

A trade war would be devastating but it’s important to remember to be cautious as to not just cave because otherwise there isn’t much stopping him from asking for more down the road. The US has way more leverage over Canada which is why I keep saying smith needs to use that as leverage over the other provinces to change their positions on helping our industries.
