I think he floated the idea out there to see if it would divide Canadians. He saw our hatred for Trudeau and Trudeau's complete weakness as a leader as an opportunity to maybe grab Canada and secure a legacy for himself. But the backlash up here has been pretty much universal.
He thought he could charm his way into our change room and put his hands down our pants because he's been able to groom so many people in the US. But we turned him down. So he'll get angry and he'll seek his revenge with his tariffs and his harsh talk, but at the end of the day he's going to have to go finger someone else. The tariffs are going to hurt a lot but like I said earlier, it's serving as a wake up call that we need to diversify our economy away from the US. Trump is forcing our hand. So we will.
