Yes, I mean from the outset why did Trump go after Canada so hard and at all? The vast majority of the so-called trade deficit with Canada is because of all the energy the US buys, and very much needs (oil, gas, electricity). Otherwise, the trade figures are relatively even. As far as I am aware, he isn't complaining about the price of those commodities. So booze bans? Really? Or the decades-old auto-pact (where both countries produce American vehicles and parts on both side of the border) an arrangement the US automaker HQs WANT to keep given it would take decades to replicate entirely in the US? Softwood lumbar to build housing - US doesn't have enough - okay that's something to discuss. But steel and aluminum that both countries make? They ship them back and forth across the border as needed. So what is it? He wants to steal all the minerals and the potash for farmers? Is he secretly after all the fresh water? Or does he just have some dope like Lutnick bending his demented ear and so Trump says, ok, ok.
