I wasn't asking what we did to appease the orange ####wit. I was asking what was done to soften the blow to Canadians of the tariffs. Basically we got a one month reprieve, which should have been (and maybe was) used to put the country in a better position to deal with the impacts of the tariffs now that they're being imposed. PP is saying they did nothing to put us in that better position and I'm asking, ok, what DID they do?

Ecuador is another country that we just signed a new trade deal with in late February.

Around the same time, we also sent a trade delegation to Australia.

Trudeau should be on TV as soon as possible to trumpet this stuff and explain how it will help. They should also be moving as quickly as possible. Normally these sorts of negotiations take a while, but every day is costing people their livelihoods so whatever solutions or mitigative measures are available, perfect or not, they need to hurry the hell up and do them, and then tell everyone about them.
