1. They did it by massaging his ego, tough negotiating, and a full-court press with US politicians at every level. I don't know if that fits your "curry favor" standard or not, doesn't matter. tRump in December says he hates Freeland and of course his whining tariff threats indicate he is unhappy with the results of his own treaty.

2. Canadians do not want or need US healthcare. I had a small operation a few years back: three doctors appointments plus operating room surgery with general anaesthesia and I never saw a bill or paid a penny beyond sales taxes that pay for healthcare. You got that right.
