That’s still often the go to response. Unfortunately, it’s not always effective when it most matters. You need something to throw back when they try and make an issue of it.
This is a good example. If Canada did nothing, then Google etc could be pressured into assuming that they accepted it. A quick counter response saying “no” gives plenty of ammo to stop that.
Once that’s done though, the “that’s weird” is the best mentality.
Basically, the guys playing with their own shit are also flinging it far enough we need to take some measures to avoid being splattered too. It doesn’t make it less weird though.
I think you’re over-thinking this. Trump is acting like a fool. The best response is to just laugh at him when he acts like a fool.
Sure there are foolish things he does that has serious consequences, those need a serious response. This isn’t one of those things.
On this? Laughing at him is the best and most honest response.
He said he might also rename the Atlantic and/or Pacific Ocean too. Someone needs to tell him it’s a good idea and he should definitively do that. Then we laugh at him some more.
It’s the difference between walking away from a blowhard threatening to fight you, and telling them to fuck off, before walking away. A twitter post on it is about as casual a fuck off as a government can give.

Wab Kinew was laughing his ass off about it.
I feel like the general tone of Carney’s message is “ok weirdo, you do you” but just in a dry and mature way. Which seems about right.
