Watched a podcast featuring Mexican media reporting it is Canada not participating in CUSMA prep meetings and being generally absent in this.

We are not getting the full truth from Canadian media.

Because the US is starting with Mexico and intentionally excluding us. Quite literally this was said on multiple Canadian, US and Mexican news outlets during and interview buy the US trade negotiator in March and again in May. This is old news from March reframed from a biased perspective.

The only tool the US has at this point, other than pulling the 6-month exit trigger, is to add more tariffs to Canada and Mexico independent of many other countries, to force Canada and Mexico to begs the knee outside of any CUSMA protection.

Which, thus far, has not fared well in court challenges.
