Clancy1,

If Canada were to either cave in or go ballistic mimicking Trump in response to these first US forays (i.e. dairy, softwood, Bombardier, etc.), we would be playing  Trump's game and not our own.  Either way, that would give Trump control of the agenda and would be a serious mistake both strategically and tactically by Canada.

While not generally a supporter of either Justin Trudeau or the Federal Liberals. I give them and the senior public servants working behind the scenes full marks for their efforts so far on this very challenging issue.
