@mattyglesias oh we are just getting started. wait until you see our canadian comedy clickbait — PolitiTweet.org

But that weirdly has been an opportunity. While Europe still fighting Trump on Article V, and losing, Canada is taking a more independent FP — PolitiTweet.org

And by focusing on trade, Canada has let some slack develop w the US on other issues, especially in upholding the global liberal order. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

The strategy's real test will come if/when Canada calls on US mayors, governors and reps to oppose Trump on NAFTA. Will it work? Who knows. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

This strategy has downsides. All I spoke with in Canadian govt acknowledged nothing can solve for Trump's unpredictability & volatility. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

That this worked, which still blows my mind, has really emboldened Canadian leaders. Not afraid of flexing muscle w the Americans anymore. — PolitiTweet.org

Scoop here: Canada killed New York's "buy American" plan by privately threatening what amount to trade sanctions (!) https://t.co/RjTpYI0MFz — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

There's now a grassroots network of Canadian allies across US govt. Mostly in place to be activated in case Trump tries to kill NAFTA. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

And it's working. After most US allies have thrown up their hands & walked away, Canada is finding quiet successes: https://t.co/RjTpYI0MFz — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to overstate the scale of this. Huge swaths of Canadian govt has taken on a second set of duties as diplomats working in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

If you're American, there's a high chance the Canadians are already cultivating, and maybe met with, your governor, reps, and maybe mayor. — PolitiTweet.org

Canada's plan is to deal with Trump by cutting him out, instead forging direct ties w every level of US local, state & federal govt. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the inside story on Canada's quiet, audacious Trump strategy. Unlike anything I've seen in alliance politics: https://t.co/RjTpYHJbO1 — PolitiTweet.org

1/ I've spent 2017 reporting on how US allies are dealing w Trump. Most are struggling. But I am blown away by what I saw in Canada. Really. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s very rare that you hear Drake played in a Canadian bar or restaurant, except for all of them all the time constantly forever — PolitiTweet.org

it is a dirty little secret in media that many north korea stories are guesswork or fake but everyone benefits so no one wants to admit it — PolitiTweet.org

at least 50% of the north korea stories you remember, that really stuck in your head, have been subsequently debunked. i am serious. 50%. — PolitiTweet.org
