Okay, let’s thinks this through. I think it is fairly certain Trump and his team is going to criticize / mock Trudeau in the coming years. It is going to be too tantalizing for a on-dimensional politicians like Poilievre not to pile on. The hate for Trudeau is so deep with the current Conservative leadership, they will be unable to resist to parrot the Trump attacks on Trudeau. Trudeau could not wish for a better electoral gift, as Canadian may have gotten tired of Trudeau, they are certainly not going to let Americans tell them how they should think.
Back in 2001 I had a discussion with a group of Americans who happened to be visiting Canada. The conversation wandered into politics and I mentioned that I thought Bush the second was an idiot. One of the American guests was quick to answer: “he may be an idiot, but he is our idiot”. In other words, it is not up to you as a Canadian to express an opinion about our elected leaders. The same could very well happen when Trump start picking on Trudeau.
We can pray, I'm not convinced. So many accts on twitter with the Cdn Flag, American flag & the apple symbol. MapleMaga will defo pile on. And they're very loud.
They are loud on Twitter. Not so loud in the real world.
A conflict with the Trump administration gives Trudeau an opportunity to be in the regular news (the real world) and present himself as a rational and competent politician.

I'd add one more, hire Scrim as your political advisor.
Spot on.
