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

The problem is Trump has not laid out a precise set of demands and conditions for achieving them, he has just spouted a laundry list of grievances as well as mused about making so much money on tariffs that he can eliminate personal income tax. The border stuff is nonsense but gives him legal cover for whatever he wants to do, by labelling it an emergency. Anyone who claims that us beefing up border security and buying more US stuff will placate him is being naive.
