I'm trying to figure out Trump's game here. We've been negotiating on trade and security and we backed off on the DST. What's the benefit of Trump antagonizing us? Is he trying to push Carney to get him to lose his cool?

Carney's response was predictable and measured. One gets the sense that that is what peeves Trump most of all. But Carney is wisely trying to buy Canada as much time as possible to get our shit together with national projects and new trade deals elsewhere.

In my heart, I hope all of this is in anticipation of a massive trade counteroffensive that includes the largest of fuck yous possible as we skid out of the driveway.
