And the response, especially from conservatives, is super easy (barely an inconvenience)
Admit Trump is right about the border (if you're a conservative this is a no brainer as Justin fucked it up) and agree his demands (if not his threats) are reasonable & we should work to achieve them even if he wasn't threatening tariffs- you can even point out US guns coming into Canada is a problem for us and we want him to fix his side of the border too. And the cost of fixing it is much less than the cost of Trumps tariffs or our retaliatory tariffs.
Acknowledge that Trump is obviously joking about the "51st state" stuff so you're not going to get hot & bothered over it, but there's potential for a stronger economic union between our 2 independent countries. Celebrate our great history together without attacking America, Trump, Elon, etc.
Point out with facts how Trump is foolish about the "trade deficit" and the reason for it is we ship our unprocessed oil to US refineries which creates tens of thousands of American jobs and it's actually beneficial to them. (This is what Alberta's premier has been doing)
Work to build positive relations with not only Trump's team but governors, etc
While I understand the Trudeau Liberals reasons for having the worst response and trying to provoke a trade war (they're fucked and campaigning against Trump, and blaming him for Canada's economic woes, gives them a much better than in the next election than vs Pierre) there's no reason for any other politician (including the lefty ones) or any Canadian media to do the same shit.
Every non-Liberal should be following Danielle Smith's lead.

I had completely forgot about the Screen Rant Pitch Meeting Ryan George guy.
At first I thought he stopped, because his last video on the Screen Rant YT channel was almost 3 years ago.
But apparently he's still with Screen Rant, now just on a separate channel.
He posted a Back to the Future II vid just 2 days ago
