Do we know he's seen this though? Like would he not have literally been entering the WH when it was posted?

Gap of about 20 minutes. He would have been en route. It's too late now, though. We are underway.

It's the Canadian thing to give the American people every opportunity to wake up. This is likely their last chance though.

What are the optics if the meeting is cancelled at the last minute?

Good Q. Nothing is predictable, but the Truth Social post provides a reason to cancel the meeting even now. Just about everything Canada needs to push back at is in there (minus 51st state nonsense), so cancelling in protest sends a very clear, albeit controversial message. https://bsky.app/profile/everydaypersonca.bsky.social/post/3loj7vrr7fs27

better to cancel than to enter into a trap like Zelensky got caught up in

We know that placation encourages predation. Laugh at a joke about your sovereignty and expect more of the same.

Trump seems to respect displays of power, no matter how superficial. No guarantees in any of this, but a display of strength today may lead to a more reasonable response tomorrow.

I love the idea floated on social media yesterday that PMMC has a reverse safe word. If 🍑💩 does anything, PMMC turns to a camera and says pamplemousse and Canada starts flooding the bond market with the US bonds we hold. Trump sees the dollar plummeting in real time. A dream, I know.
