It's bluster. He'll see what he gets. There is no clear line for pass/fail. He wants to keep up the extortion as long as possible to maximize return on the threats.

I'm sure you've realized by now that one thing is common across all parties. They will do whatever they can to stay in power.
Canada will not win a tit for tat battle with the US. For example; We are barely pulling out weight in NATO these days and I'm sure we all know whose really responsible for carrying the water in the defense of our continent.
If we want to start crying about the border they can come up with 100 reasons where we are just smiling and nodding when we should be doing more.
Big fish eats the little fish. A tale as old as time.

That's a good point. Why are we taking tariff war that will cost substantially more instead of smiling, nodding and improving our border and NATO spending.

Marketing? Are they selling plots?
Another handout for the Ford Government’s friends
Last week, the Ontario government announced a whopping $285 million handout to TC Energy for pre-development work for its proposed pumped storage facility on the Niagara Escarpment near Meaford, Ontario – a project that would cost electricity consumers $4-7 billion.
We support expanding storage options, but even the Independent Electricity System Operator says it's not the best option. In fact, they say it doesn't compare favorably to alternatives like battery storage and won't provide net benefits to Ontario's electricity system or ratepayers.
A much better way to spend almost $300 million would be to expand our east-west transmission connections with Quebec. This would allow the province to tap into Quebec's massive hydro-electric reservoir system, storing variable wind and solar energy at a significantly lower cost – 70-80% lower than what TC Energy is proposing.
When Ontario has power to spare, we can supply electricity to Quebec and their reservoirs can hold back water normally used to generate power. When Ontario needs power, Quebec releases that stored water and produces power to export back to Ontario. Simple, elegant and far more cost effective than building a giant new storage facility that serves only TC Energy’s interests.
It's time for the Ontario government to prioritize consumers over large energy companies. The Ford government’s massive handout to TC Energy is just the latest stop on the gravy train.
Please contact Energy Minister Stephen Lecce and ask him why he is taking money out of the pockets of Ontario’s hard-working families to subsidize a giant energy company with assets totalling $125 billion.

I'll say this again: my ex-wife's brother is a bonafide, published scientist and also a professor. I disliked Harper quite a bit as did he, but after Trudeau took over, not only was he and his peers MORE muzzled than before, they had a lot more trouble getting any money for their projects, which is crazy to think given how much Liberal deficits have been. He struggled hard and finally got a deal (over now but I no longer know him well) for $6M over 5 years which was 50% private, 50% public ... for a guy who published two unique and world-patented papers on how to find heart markers that indicate future problems. But our media didn't dig it up - no no, not when the Liberals upped their funding and made shady deals with private giants like Bell and Rogers like they did, to stay out of their way while they destroyed the ISP and private telco industries.
Even in the information age we live in, the Liberals have been the least transparent government in decades.
