I don't quite think "pleasantries" is the right word, at least based on Trump's expression.
#CUSMA
When he signed the #USMCA #CUSMA he (trump) took credit for it, calling it the BEST TRADE DEAL EVER!
Earlier this year he said: "Whoever signed this deal is an idiot"
How can you deal with someone like that?
You can't/shouldn't deal with that kind of person
If you had a business & one of your suppliers/customers acted like that, you'd tell them to go play in the traffic
Doug Ford did his usual bull-in-china-shop moves, totally inferior at strategy and tactics in dealing with irrational, unhinged personalities.
You'd think he'd understand the triggering of knee-jerk reactions given his and his families history/behaviour, but inherent in such personalities is an inability to learn from experience nor think more than one step in advance.
He's just blundering and breaking things.

This is my home town.
It's also part of the Buy Canadian movement and a response to Donald Trump's idiotic tariffs.
Canadian steel will be made into Canadian cans to hold Canadian products in Canada.
Sorry, US workers. Please vote better next time.

“Prime Minister Mark Carney heads to #Mexico … to find ways to work with Mexico to preserve North America-wide free trade, or at least as much of it as can be saved from the most protectionist U.S. administration in a century … [and] to develop a bilateral trading relationship with Mexico that operates independently of the whims of the White House, and can survive whatever fate lies in store for #CUSMA when its renegotiation finally happens.”

With the deathwatch for #CUSMA being wound at 1600 Pennsylvania on Tuesday, it’s mildly reassuring to see Canadian preparations under way.

Mark Carney lifted some tariffs against the U.S. Was that a wise tactical move, or a bad blunder?

TL;DR Prime minister Mark Carney concedes the single point in exchange for better field position on the next drive.
(Might get another fifteen yards out of it if, as one would expect, the guy at 1600 Pennsylvania gets into a taunting fit.)
Now how do we get the ball across the goal line with #CUSMA still in play?
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/carney-to-hold-noon-news-conference/
This is a mistake. The pissant isn't removing ANY tariffs on Canadian #CUSMA goods... or, did I miss the memo?
WHY ARE WE BACKING DOWN? FFS #elbowsup
Canada will remove many of its retaliatory tariffs on US goods. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-removing-retaliatory-tariffs-1.7614909 #cdnpoli #polcan
@stephanie
Translation: we want to tear up #CUSMA and blame you for it.
That's a red herring.
#Trump cannot be trusted to honour a contract.
Besides, at best that protection will expire next year with the mandated renegotiation of #CUSMA (or #USMCA or #MUSCA, all depending on which country you're in, there's a reason why the original agreement was called NAFTA).
Given past precedent, those are not likely to be fruitful negotiations, so if anything #Canada needs to be gearing up for more chaos thanks to the #USA!
