Wondering if people wanted to speculate what’s been going on this week amid the new threats and tariffs. Seems like a lot of radio silence.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’m not sure. On one hand I think it’s healthy to not give the bully in the room undue attention. But ignoring entirely doesn’t project a position of strength, either.
This week we had our Mr and Ms Premiers Go To Washington moment but little else. Is that to give Liberal leadership candidates to speak up? Perhaps more room for PP to attack shoes?
I suspect much of the “radio silence” is a combination of “don’t tip our hand” and “not reacting prematurely to Trump’s bluster, but rather waiting to see what he actually does”.
Plus, there is a lot that is happening.
Trudeau is in Europe discussing the situation with various leaders there.
The premiers were in Washington talking to anyone and everyone they could.
And there have been a number of contingency plans made, we just have to see which (if any) of Trump’s “concepts of a plan” actually happens.
Meanwhile it looks like there is starting to be some infighting among Republicans. No need to interrupt them while that’s happening.
I agree
A slow pace will give time for concerned republicans to discuss. Trump try to ignore a lot of things but he needs congress to follow through with legislation for his plan to succeed.
Yeah they constantly do this. Hasn’t led to their downfall or anything even remotely close to it yet.
