I'm of the opinion that letting Trump think he's "winning" while playing backdoor politics with friendly nations to defend Canada's interests is not a bad approach.

Tall desk jockey, heavy walker. Not trying to diagnose, but I learned from experience that weak abdominal activation caused over compensation in the lower back to an extreme degree. Went from zero back pain, to plenty during covid, back to relatively little. Yoga, walking and lifting to improve core strength helped. Could it be something like that?
