Carney has not responded directly to the latest broadside by the US president. It was left to Dominic Leblanc, the minister of US-Canada Trade, to answer with a social media post late Saturday that reiterated the prime minister’s position that Canada will carry on and be ready whenever the US wants to resume trade negotiations.
Carney’s address in Malaysia early Sunday was part pitch for freer trade with the ASEAN block of nations and part veiled reference to the worsening relations with the United States.
“We have all been reminded of the importance of reliable partners — who honour their commitments, who are there in tough times, and who engage collaboratively to fix something that isn’t working,” Carney told the leaders of the 11 nations gathered around the table in the Malaysian capital.
“Canada is such a partner, a dependable partner, and I have come to Kuala Lumpur to say clearly that we want to play a bigger role in this region.”

Question. . . if the Blue Jays win the World Series and take home the trophy, will MLB need to pay a tariff to get it back?
no. we will have to pay a terroriff to receive it and another terroriff just to return the damn thing.

“It’s just one more example of super childish behaviour by the president,” Kaine said in an exclusive Canadian interview on Rosemary Barton Live airing Sunday morning. “The ad was a very fair ad."
Kaine, who taped the interview with host Rosemary Barton less than an hour before Trump’s 10 per cent tariff threat, said the president’s trade war “is a self-inflicted wound on the American economy. So we’ve got to get back to the table."
Just a few days earlier, Trump said he was terminating all trade discussions with Canada over the advertisement, reiterating that it was fake and fraudulent.
Trump’s anger “won’t last," he said. "But it’s embarrassing for the United States that we have a president who lets an ad rattle him so deeply.”

On Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he will pull the advertisement from U.S. screens after this weekend. The advertisement aired during Saturday night's World Series game, meaning millions more Americans saw the ad on their screens since it first began running in mid-October.
Kaine said what will bring Trump and his team back to trade talks is “less likely to be a Canadian negotiating move. What’s going to get them back to the table is the undeniable economic reality.”

Trump’s outrage toward Canada ‘super childish behaviour,’ says U.S. Democratic senator — CBC News
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia says U.S. President Donald Trump’s outrage toward Canada over an anti-tariff advertisement by the Ontario government is “a temper tantrum” that will blow over — but it’s embarrassing for the United States.
Kaine said what will bring Trump and his team back to trade talks is “less likely to be a Canadian negotiating move. What’s going to get them back to the table is the undeniable economic reality.”
