    Probably; but it’s a show of good faith that we are actually willing to come to an agreement, and it’s also more opportunity for the US to hang itself on the public stage.

    We’ll give you the rope; we’d rather you made a bow with it, but if you want to make a noose that’s your choice.

      Why do we have to show good faith while they show zero?

        Because it’s not all of America that we’re against; it’s the current administration and it’s supporters. It’s better to keep the citizens on our side, sympathetic to our problems. Especially when this administration fails and America gets around to rebuilding.

        It also looks good from other nations to see we aren’t being unreasonable or cruel, just standing up for ourselves. That will help when it comes to building relationships with those other nations and allow us to strengthen trade elsewhere.

        Be the bigger person. It pays off in ways that aren’t always obvious.

        It shows we’re more mature than them.

            The Americans don’t, but the whole world is watching.

              So the whole world just hopes they don’t go after them. No one cares about Canada, how many times do they have to show it for people to realize that.

        Kathy Hochul, even if she is a weasel of a Democrat, is talking with Ford. They are mutually sympathetic in the dislike of Trump and Ford is trying to cut some slack for them too.

      Yup, I was not impressed at all reading the headline on CBC, but this seems to be an olive branch considering the invitation to discuss on Thursday. So reasonable moves here
