Before we get to that point, it's a better idea for government and business leaders to communicate with their American partners to have them put pressure on Trump and his advisors to avoid those tariffs in the first place.

And the Canadian government is already doing that. They've been planning contingencies since (at least) the US primaries.

.

Of course, they're not going to send out a press release detailing those plans - it would be stupid to alert the very people you'll be negotiating with to the details of all your plans.

Because trump is known for having proper discussions and making smart decisions that benefit people other then himself.

Of course he isn't.

But there have to be some saner self-interested people in his orbit that realize how much a trade war will fuck up their profits.

Well, when he renegotiated Nafta to USMCA it benefited Canada and Mexico more than him and the states....

He does make the best deals after all.

Canada tells me we he had the best discussion ever, in the history of trade deals, believe me!

Yeah, he also doesn't say for who...
