And the US got the ventilators that they needed so same story there?Monday Trudeau said this at his morning press conference:
"We have recognized over the past weeks a number of situations in which shipments coming from different countries around the world have been delayed, (or) haven't arrived with as many products as we were hoping to see," Trudeau said. "This continues to be an ongoing problem — specifically with the United States. We are working with them to ensure the orders Canada has placed get delivered. We expect those shipments to come."
Here he calls the US out.
Today we wake up to this article from The Canadian Press
3M makes deal with White House, says Canada will continue to receive N95 masks
We can spin it - even admit (without actually ever knowing mind you) that 3M strong-armed Trump into this agreement and the Canadian Gov't sat on the sidelines as spectators and watched as this all went down.
Who did what does not matter.
In Summary:
Trudeau said it wasn't acceptable.
Refused to be petty and enforce sanctions and play Trump's games.
'Someone' spoke Trump-Speak to Trump
and Canada walks with exactly what they needed. - which is all that matters.
Diplomacy wins.
