Canada's demands aren't even trade-related....kind of strange for a trade negotiation process.    They are more about social engineering (an entirely different agenda).    Is it ceding control of the agenda to the US to actually focus on trade/tariffs at trade negotiations?  After all, they aren't negotiating a new North American Unified Social Engineering Agreement (NAUSEA).

It's like bringing hockey pucks to the ballpark.  The Americans must be annoyed; the Mexicans must be confused (or amused).
