      The US will bitch and moan about everything. You do exactly as they are and its an irritant. You do something different its an irritant. Thanks to the current administration, they have been emboldened so much that even if you kiss their ass and worship them, they’d still find a reason to want more.

      I just don’t get why governments don’t say the very things every citizen is thinking. Just rip the bandaid right off as opposed to try and peel it off slow, as you can tell, slow isn’t working either. So just tell them to come back to the table if they are actually serious in negotiating and not just demanding their way or the highway. They wouldn’t stand for that, why so they expect others to?

      I wonder how “trade irritant” suddenly became the new favourite headline phrase. It’s a handy term, but given how irritable their administration is, I suspect it applies to more potential concepts than not. Fumbling the strait of Hormuz? Trade irritant. Someone else getting a bigger scoop of ice cream at the state dinner? Trade irritant. West Wing lackey was five minutes late fetching the Presidential Diet Coke? Trade irritant. Twitter is down? Better believe that’s a trade irritant.

      As far as I can tell, „trade irritant“ just means anything they can use as an excuse to make demands in the upcoming talks. It could be virtually anything, whether the USA does that thing themselves or not.

      They are telegraphing that they intend to play hardball, so play hardball back. The USA has a long list of critical imports from Canada, and if need be, use them as levers! The USA is utterly dependant on Canadian crude petroleum (especially given the disaster that Trump has caused in the Persian Gulf), fertilizer (especially given the disaster that Trump has caused in the Persian Gulf), aluminum (especially given the disaster that Trump has caused in the Persian Gulf), critical minerals including rare earth elements, electricity, and so on, so threaten to reduce the amounts of these critical exports to the USA if Trump tries to strong-arm Canada.

      The biggest trade irritant for the US is their own actions in bad faith toward their own citizens and every single other person in the world who isn’t a billionaire or Vladimir Putin.

      They are making these ridiculous claims and demands because they want to blow up the agreement. They need congress to do this

      Since we are talking about Canada cloud computing.

      Maybe it is a good time to see what types of laws are being passed concerning age verification down in the states right now.

      These laws make surveillance a default. They are antithetical to liberal democratic values, and you’d be a fool to think that the US would respect any kind of boundary with foreign data. The US goal is to have Canada pass similar laws.

      Also, might be a good time to reflect on the timing of the chip shortage….

      Canada is not the only country nationalizing its data, in a direct response to the politics coming from the US.

      This stance is a indication that US based systems can be used against us, time to homebrew our own and shift the government off MS systems. Look at what Europe is trying to do.

      Canada is pursuing cloud and data sovereignty. The US would rather we didn’t.

      “Ottawa and provincial governments across the country are facing demands for Canadians’ data to be protected — in part — from foreign access under a U.S. law known as the CLOUD Act.

      These demands have become more pronounced in light of recent bilateral political developments and the reemergence as a high-profile issue of “data sovereignty” — that is, ensuring Canadian courts have exclusive authority over data within Canada’s borders.

      Some commentators are similarly expressing concerns about the security of data stored with U.S. cloud providers, and the adoption of “sovereign cloud” solutions is increasingly being discussed at all levels of government.”

      Canada is also pursuing space sovereignty;

      Canada is building rockets, satellites and a space launch .

      There is no reason to do anything but wait. Trade woth the US is enormously important. If you wait, Trump will be gone or at least completely neutered after mid terms.

        Give no feedback, go through the motions and continue to expand our trade options.

        This too shall pass. 

        I know that doesn’t make a good clickbait headline, but this is the reality.
