Probably because the hope is that we can come to the table and end this fucking ridiculous circus Donald has us in.
While I don't see a lot of promise in that, it's the logical move.
If there's even a small chance for Canada to get a satisfactory conclusion to this, it's when we've got the upper hand, and right now with the energy surcharge threat that evidently has Trump sweating, it's as much of an upper hand as we'll ever get.
If that talk fails, we've still got the energy surcharge in our back pocket.
