    but the Canadian government is sure as hell trying to make the Canadian people the losers here

    I really can’t interpret this in any other way, but I guess it goes to show how framing is hard to argue about

      nobody is trying to win, but the Canadian government is sure as hell trying to make the Canadian people the losers here.

      It’s an antithesis, a rhetorical device.

      Making Canadians the losers doesn’t mean the sole intention is to fuck with people. I’ve already said it’s a political stunt.
