Worth noting that Trump is impossible to deal with and making small concessions do nothing to advance negotiations. Trump wants a 100% win which means we need to prepare for a no deal. #cdnpoli #canada #tariff
Has Susan Collins expressed her concern about the new 35% Canada tariff yet?

I had a lengthy chat with a Conservative strategist back in January about the likely Canadian election. I asked why Poilievre wasn't out daily pushing back against Trump to show what he'd be like as PM. They didn't think it was a winning strategy. #cdnpoli

Trump way under estimated Canadian resilience. The U.S. is (or was) a beacon of hope & prosperity for many around the world, but for Canadians, the U.S. is just our neighbour. Canadians don't want to be American, which is seemingly a shock to them. #cdnpoli

As ‘Buy Canadian’ grows, more US companies say retailers turning away their products
The "Buy Canadian" movement is sending new ripples of concern through the executive offices of U.S.-based consumer companies that banked on selling their products on Canadian retail shelves.

The biggest risk in building an entire campaign around opposing one person is that it's difficult to reestablish messaging if they leave. Plus, the dynamic has shifted with Trump's threats & the public has taken note & is looking for credible solutions. #cdnpoli

Trump got his off-ramp by using an announcement Canada made in December as a means to delay tariffs a month. He lost this round. That said, he'll want a win and will likely be more forceful in the coming weeks. Nothing has changed and Canadian governments and the public should be prepared. #cdnpoli
First it was drugs, then being the 51st State, now banking. This tells me Trump is floundering and looking for a win because he realizes Canada won't give in. What Canada is responding with is working. #cdnpoli
