And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence…🤑

Elbows off the table.

This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?

“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.
I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”

It’s a hockey term that Canadians have adopted to mean to stand up to American influence / Trump.

Well it was fun seeing Trump on the other side of the tariffs I suppose. Responded exactly as one would expect.
