If he actually does it, then it will be there… Taking up space… I don’t think anyone is going to buy it.

This is exactly why it isn't tone deaf. He can just issue the ask, hope that not all premiers will follow, and even the provinces that do follow, consumption will still not recover fully; he can say "hey I did all I can, Canadians just don't wanna drink it" and the US loses a negotiation leverage.
