The US is just as toxic as China these days. Give them nothing until they come on bended knee offering concessions that their congress is willing to enforce, because without someone in the loop who can prevent Trump from going back on his word, any agreement with them is worth less than the Sharpie it was signed with.

Gonna be real here, he's doing shit regardless of what congress says. Regardless of what the courts say. And No one is stopping him.

A lot of people still think this can be resolved peacefully. I think it's naive at best, but we'll see what gives first. Trump's most trusted and loyal henchmen, or people's belief that there's something good left in the republican party, 'cause that' s what a peaceful resolution will depend on. Nothing will change even if every democratic official grows a spine. At this point, everything hangs on Trump's inner circle.

To secure "relief" ie: To return to the previous trade agreement that Trump himself signed off on.

To desire nothing but a return what-once-was is incredibly shortsighted. This isn't about getting relief from tariffs is that those tariffs should never have happened in the first place. The US violated our trade agreement and, to this day, still changes its mind on what it wants almost daily. They have also made continuous threats towards our sovereignty with threats of invasion and war as well as flagrant disrespect towards our elected leader(s) and citizens.

The Canada-US relationship is over. It's done. Trying to make more deals with them is a foolish waste of time at best and a threat to our national security at worst.

Our standard of living depends on US proximity, we don't have the business environment to do anything except resource extraction.

Regardless there's no point in placating Trump, it will never be enough, this is extortion from an extortionist.
