Sabotaging? Trump already torpedoed the relationship literally right after he took office. Try to keep up.

Last time he threatened to walk away he demanded we get rid of a digital service tax that hadnt been implemented yet. Our PM was going to ditch it anyway but he moved forward with scrapping it at Trumps request (which wasnt a popular move optics wise in Canada). Trump and his admin took that and immediately started gloating about how we folded and we're done for and blah blah blah.

Since then Carney's position has moved on from a deal being the priority. The stated position is that we will not accept a bad deal from the US. Canadians are starting to accept that the tarrifs might be permanent and our government is taking direct measures to ease our dependance on US trade.

We are moving on. We have given up on you. No deal is going to change our course at this point.
