The first rule of online newspaper-reading is, 'do not read the 'Comments'.  The second is , 'if you venture  into the Comments, do not respond or comment yourself".  I'm breaking both rules.

After scanning the wisdom posted on this article, it appears that this PM cannot win, especially with what is obviously the out-of-sorts still-haven't-gotten-over-the-last-election crowd who gleefully predicted Trump would clean-up in dealing with him.  Had JT rolled-over and allowed the US to rub his belly and get whatever deal(s) they wanted (much like they did with the NAFTA in the first place), they would be crowing and pointing out how he was weak and not looking out for Canada's interest.  When instead, he even begins to talk tough, they belittle both the man and the effort.  Pity they did not have the same critical standard when the former PM and his minister, hopped down to he US on  weekend, mid-election, to sign onto TPP.   

But that is the Comments Section for you.
