There seems to be some benefit to having a formal deal in place.

Yes, but the "in place" part is what's in question. You can sign a deal, and the next day Trump can say it was a bad deal and it's off the table... again.

Much of the stuff he's bickering about now are things HE negotiated during his first term! He'll never be happy, and we have to stop wasting time on this baboon and seek partnerships with leaders who aren't complete assholes.

It's geographically impossible for Canada to completely eliminate trade with the US.

I absolutely agree that it should be minimized, though.

Yeah, we should do both. Minimize the damage and reduce reliance. I think quitting cold turkey might lead to worse outcomes, including a possible reorientation towards the US under a prospective reactionary conservative government.

Pretty much where I'm at. We absolutely should do everything we can to minimize the impact of American volatility to our economy, but damaging our economy more than necessary to do so is counterproductive. Stringing on the bullshit until we have a clear exit plan is the smart move, distasteful as that may be.

We can do minimal trade, and only when absolutely necessary, with Blue states.
