A US official is telling Canada to tone down its rhetoric, and Andrew Caddell has a specific list of reasons why that message rings hollow. He runs through Pete Hoekstra's own past comments, including a profanity-laced tirade at the National Gallery and a claim that a billion dollar bridge deal Canada actually paid for was a myth.

Andrew borrows a very specific Newfoundland word to describe Pete, one he picked up from a friend who policed Gander during September 11th, and explains exactly why he thinks it applies here.

Dominic LeBlanc says trade conversations with the US have not stopped, but Andrew draws a hard line between quiet diplomatic contact and an actual negotiation, and explains which one is really happening right now.
