Your take is missing a piece. If you don’t negotiate with them, you guarantee no market access.
Everyone in Ottawa understands what’s happening here, but our BATNA sucks. Always look for the BATNA.

This is a fair point, but what if they ever succeed? This restricts western ability to react to it.
Not to mention China/Taiwan

Either (1) they ignore that rule and make it clear they don’t respect international law or (2) they release Maduro.
An unforced lose-lose scenario.

I guess we’ll see how a judge will handle the fact that this dude has immunity as president of a foreign state. Fun.

Canada has to respond in coordination with the Europeans. Joint statements are stronger

Nobody will hold them to account. That’s the problem.
International law only works as long as the players act like it’s real. The system was written (and mostly enforced) by the USA.
If America ignores that system, then the guardrails are off and nobody else has to follow the rules either

Sorry, illegal under international law.
The issue is that China could invade Taiwan under the same pretense and that Russia can hold it against Ukraine in any peace negotiations.
If America won’t follow those rules, why should anyone else?

The problem is that America doesn’t understand it’s giving up the rules based international order. It’ll be gone by the time you guys figure that out

Why would you think Canada’s leader’s don’t see that?
The USA isn’t an autocracy (at least not yet), but it is being unreliable. Canada needs to hedge our bet and diversify our options (Europe, Asia, interprovincial trade), but not throw out the USA. That’s exactly what’s been happening.

“Repetition is key to persuasion”
This is an underrated point. I’d never heard about the MSM before 2015, but they said it enough and now it’s a thing. Dems need to do that stuff too

Why would we want something less capable when we already have a deal inked for the good one?
Switching might be good politics, but it’s bad policy.

This is my take away from your post anyway - you opened my eyes to those pieces. Don’t worry about being perfect at the expense of being right. Thanks for posting.
