Rocking the boat with trump is only asking for more problems. I don’t think we should give in to their stupid demands, but we also shouldn’t be purposely provocative.
We tried getting China to build their EVs here and they wouldn’t agree. They would only do it if they were to be staffed by Chinese nationals that stayed in the facility - ie not providing any Canadian jobs.
On top of this, China wants our canola - they collect tariffs, but that just goes around in a circle in their communist system, it doesn’t stop them buying our stuff.
