Personally I think Canada and Canadians should cease diplomacy until the Americans change course (drastically). No point in talking to them.
Can start again when they agree:
1) that Canada as a 51st state is never mentioned again;
2) they agree to use real data and context when discussing trade imbalances
3) they agree they do need us and our resources.
Until then literally don’t talk to them. You can like keep their diplomat in Canada but leadership and others should basically just stop talking to them and the last message should be we’ll talk to you when the above conditions are met and if breached again we’ll stop talking again.
No value in the facade and pretend handshakes and friendliness. Things aren’t friendly. They can get ####ed.
