Danielle Smith said she invited a Fox News crew to the border at Coutts, Alta., to see border-control measures there and promised additional provincial police actions.

I’m not so sure about this approach. Everyone seems quite eager to demonstrate to Trump that making threats is a great way to get whatever he wants out of Canada.

There may be a CBC news article about it that could answer your question.

Can you explain how the federal Government communicating directly with US Government officials and providing evidence of our border security measures as requested to avoid a trade war is the same as a provincial Premier trying to push their agenda on the US population via a right wing propaganda machine?

If both are the same, how is that evidence that “Everyone seems quite eager to demonstrate to Trump that making threats is a great way to get whatever he wants out of Canada.” when Marlaina Smith and the Federal Government is not “everyone”?

He started off trying to justify tarriffs based on (his misunderstanding of) the trade deficit. At least that was vaguely relevant to international trade.

Now he just wants a show of respect, and a token one at that, so it’s tempting to just do some useless shit with helicopters to make him go away.

I’m very sure that it’s the wrong approach, but Danielle is in it for herself and she’s decided to lick Trump’s boots.
