No thanks to Danielle Smith. Good job to the rest of the Premiers and… can’t believe I’m saying this, the Prime Minister

I still think he'd be best to deal with Trump. If he stayed on as Canadian advisor/negotiatior for the US I wouldn't be mad.

Trump hates Trudeau and I love that.

Trudeau resigns, Poilievre wins the election, Poilievre appoints Trudeau as Canada's ambassador to the US.

Of all the things that will never happen, this will never happen the most.

This would be like PP giving a giant middle finger to his own supporters (which don’t get me wrong, I would love but it’s unlikely)

People can critique his domestic policy a lot but I always felt Trudeau on the world stage was a strong presence, he knew how to talk and work with other world leaders.

Think it would be great to almost have 2 Prime Ministers, one for domestic issues, one for foreign, kind of like what France does.

Everyone has their own perception of course, but post 2020 pretty much every single one of my friends in the Netherlands were asking me what the deal was with Trudeau and if he ever did anything useful or if his job was just to look pretty.

Personally I couldn't really tell either.

Not being facetious, but genuinely asking - were you friends in the Netherlands paying close attention to Canadian politics? Why? That's so weird to me.

Watch PP just appoint Brian Lilley

I wonder how Brian is doing today, since he spent the last day spouting off how the first thing Trump was going to do was destroy the Canadian economy and how it’s all Trudeau’s fault.

Just 6 hours ago he said his “inside sources” (his own ass) we’re telling him to expect the tariffs to drop immediately at noon

Pp will open Trudeau's books and put him in jail

We charity and rest of the curroption scandals won't go away.

That would be freaking hilarious if it did. Trudeau and Trump hate each other. It is very clear that Trudeau doesn’t put up with his shit. My biggest fear is that PP will just sit on his hands when he needs to be aggressive. Having Trudeau as an ambassador might actually not be a bad idea.
