The best negotiator? Hand's down, Pierre Trudeau.

The second best? Brian Mulroney.

The worst? RB Bennett.

The other worst guy: Mackenzie King.

Wilfrid Laurier lost an election on "reciprocity".

From my perspective the worst were Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien as evidenced by Canada's capitulation in the Pacific Salmon Wars which lead to the biggest industrial hollowing out of the Pacific coastal economy bar none.

Before Nixon, Trudeau Snr managed to free the Cdn dollar from Bretton Woods - and he recognized China.

Mulroney managed to get Reagan to agree to free trade.

Heck, Mulroney got Bush Snr to agree to an acid rain deal.

Trump and lackeys can't stand to hear the truth

The truth that Canada wants to be treated like a sovereign country you mean? The one where protectionist policies are the norm and Canada excels in? Or did you mean when Reagan and every President treated Canada as a state since. Trump is giving you what you want, stand up, claim your prize Canucks.
