There's a difference between advocating for your interests and being a dumbass. Canadians often fall into the latter camp.
It would be smarter to sit down and talk it out with Trump. I get you have to put up some fight, optically if nothing else, as you can't just cave and do what some other country wants, even if it benefits you, as it just makes you look weaker in the long run. But Canadians take it to a ridiculous degree.

No disagreement there.

Perhaps, perhaps not. I think you are correct. And I think Canadians generally deserve to be screwed. But I find it understandable that they would be angry. And as you shrewdly recognized, someone like Poilevere must appear as a stand-up person who can stand up to Trump, or they're going to paint him as a pushover who will sell out Canadian interests because of his sympathy for Trump - sort of like a reverse Russiagate, as ridiculous.

Small dog syndrome. The British are the same: always warmongering. A British urinalists recently had a talk in the Youtube channel for The Times, a major 'center-right' newspaper, in which he said that war with Russia is IMMINENT.

It doesn't matter. Canada offers very little to the USA. It is a one sided trade arrangement, where Canada benefits the most.
If Trump wants to start a trade war, the quality of life of every normie Canadian will fall until Trump says stop.
If Trump moves from tariffs to sanctions, two winters from now, Canadians will be burning corpses and furniture to stay warm.
So, what the fuck are Canadians going to do about it? Sound and fury? Vote against their own interests? March in the streets? Offer their asshole to the CCP again? All of that is useless.
