Within the current negotiation context that Canada is facing, Mr. Carney's presence is fitting, though the strategy and tactics might not be. His calm, composed, and poised demeanor is beneficial in any challenging conflict. I am not addressing his leadership style since it remains unknown at this time.
Canada might not be in a position to adopt a retaliatory approach in this negotiation without facing severe, irreversible consequences. Such a stance merely postpones the inevitable, potentially escalating an intractable conflict into a perilous area that is not fully comprehended. The magnitude of this situation is being underestimated, putting millions of civilian lives at risk. For the time being it is appropriate. However, it must be monitored with intense hyper vigilance.
This is not a criticism of the leader. Instead, it addresses how the whole conflict is being assessed, strategized, and executed with a "group think" reprise approach.
This goes beyond a tariff dispute, which the leaders appear to be overlooking. Canada might be contributing to a broader geopolitical strategy devised by the opposing side. If my assumption is correct, there could be unavoidable and severe repercussions if the "He man swashbuckling" counterattack is prolonged unecessarily. There are other options not being considered that require attention to appease the situation and neutralize the wrath between both nations.
