Is there anything Canada loses by standing up to America? People might say trade, but if Canada is more likely to open itself up to visa applicants and have more stable policies, what is stopping Canada from stealing US business?

Idk. Trump seems to be easily swayed by whoever takes the time to see him
Perhaps something good will come out of it
Is this real?

Trigger him, Justin!
Is this real?
I'm leaning more towards taking it like a bitch.
I don't hate Justin or anything but I really can't see him being the more assertive person between the two of them.
Trigger him, Justin!
See, Trumps fears of stairs is rational. Stairs are the real enemies of world leaders

I for one certainly hope literally nothing comes out of it and I don't hear anything embarrassing on Twitter about it.
It's an old party trick he learned from his father.

Yes, Trudeau was showing off a "party trick".

Trudeau just needs to have the upper hand and wield it like a stone cold mofo.
But I know very little about Canada's upper hands. Oil pipelines? Some sort of trade benefits that Canada doesn't especially rely on but USA does? Trudeau threatening to go on a series of virulent anti-Trump tirades and corraling together an anti-Trump coalition of nations?

Donald will learn that Pierre Trudeau, much like Frederick Douglas, has been dead for some time:
"Wow, you're a lot younger-looking in person, Pierre. Perfect hair!"
"I'm his son, he passed away 17 years ago..."
"So you're saying Eric has a shot, a tremendous shot, at becoming president?"
"I'm stuck with this guy for how long?"
Oil, mostly. It was suggested in another thread that a tariff on oil (which is being considered) could severely damage the U.S. economy. Considering Canada is their largest overall trading partner and their largest exporter of oil, it shouldn't be understated how reliant the U.S. is on Canada for certain natural resources. It's also worth noting that Trump does seem to like Canada and has businesses across the country so I doubt he'll do anything drastic considering his re-negotiating would be the dozenth time they've tried and failed to do so. Couple that with Chrystia Freeland's tough talk on trade and experience with CETA and you can see how Canada's not as helpless as people would like to believe in this economic relationship.
That Obama to Trump regeneration scene sure was something.

Yup. It's from a show in Quebec called ''Les Francs-Tireurs'' where he showed how he falls downstairs in parties for goofs.

He is magnetic. Reminds me of Obama. I envy Canadians.

I feel like this is going to be an important moment for the upcoming election in Canada. I really hope Trudeau comes out on top from this one, because O'Leary will take advantage of any signs of weakness from this for his campaign.
Please Canada GAF, stay vigilant and on top of things for this upcoming election.

Looking forward to Trump's Twitter rant about syrup prices because he doesn't distinguish corn syrup from maple syrup.

On the one hand, 75% of Canada's trade is with the US.
On the other hand, Canada is the #1 trade partner for 35 states, and in the top three for another 13. So both of them have an incentive to keep things light and not start a trade war, since it would destroy both countries.
More than half of our import/export business is with the US. If relations with the US take a turn for the worse, our economy will be fucked almost instantly.

Governors can apply pressure on the President about his protectionism nonsense,
pissing off all northern border states and then some, isn't in the President's interests
