Canada May Have Been Negotiating With Trump ALL WRONG

Part 2 on why Pierre Polievre may have been the better choice for negotiations with America. (Part One Here: https://youtu.be/WUg12iTXMvI) Mexico and Canada are negotiating with the same Donald Trump — but the approaches couldn't look more different.While Canada-U.S. trade negotiations have collapsed into tariffs, retaliation and increasingly hostile rhetoric, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly emphasized a different strategy: keep a “cool head,” maintain composure, defend Mexico's principles and keep negotiating.And Mexico is doing exactly that.The United States and Mexico have already completed multiple rounds of intensive bilateral USMCA negotiations covering autos, steel, aluminum, agriculture, labour, economic security and more — with another round scheduled.But there's another reason Canada's experience with Mexico should get our attention.Sheinbaum's negotiating temperament sounds remarkably similar to something we just discussed about Pierre Poilievre.Stay disciplined.Don't get knocked off your position.Don't react emotionally to every provocation.Don't make unilateral concessions.And don't confuse fighting Donald Trump publicly with negotiating effectively with Donald Trump.Claudia Sheinbaum and Pierre Poilievre couldn't be much further apart politically. But could Mexico's left-wing president actually be demonstrating why Poilievre's temperament might have been surprisingly effective against Trump?Today on Tap the Maple, we're comparing Canada and Mexico's dramatically different approaches to Donald Trump, and asking whether Canada should have learned this lesson much sooner.#ClaudiaSheinbaum #DonaldTrump #PierrePoilievre #MarkCarney #Mexico #Canada #Trump #Poilievre #Carney #CanadianPolitics #CanadaPolitics #USMCA #CUSMA #TrumpTariffs #CanadaUSTrade #MexicoUSTrade #TradeWar #Tariffs #CanadaNews #CanadianEconomy #TapTheMaple #BakesOnThings #america #americanpolitics #americannews #news #politics #canadalife #cdnpoli
