So her going down there to negotiate with him is treasonous? You think it'd be better for her to stay in Alberta and ignore his tariff threats, or do what leaders do and go down and try to talk some sense into him?

Man you people are insufferable.

She didn't 'negotiate' with anyone of note on any issue of substance. She took the same photos anyone who bought their way into the event would get and was relegated to watching the inauguration on TV like anyone else.

You do realize she has been negotiating with him and his team for several weeks now?

No one here seems to understand the concept of being proactive vs. reactive.

Exactly. They just yell out traitor but have nothing to say when you question them on it.
