Completely wrong Gary!  This is not a school yard bully, he is the President of the United States whether we love him or loath him.  We didn't choose him, the American electoral system did and at the very least we need to respect that.   If Canada is smart we'll play up to him, get what we need and want.  I don't believe Canada should back down from what we need and nor give into unreasonable demands but to use rhetoric as a tool would be foolish and risky with this man.  Understanding what to get from the man who holds that office is part of smart diplomacy.  Perhaps if we treat him the way he likes it'll be much easier for Canada to get what it needs.  Let's stoke the man's ego, the rest will follow and we'll benefit from it. Who really cares, he doesn't represent us.
