The tariff threat between Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and President-elect Trump is like a farce, both comical and concerning. Trudeau’s attempt to present a united front has only exposed internal discord. The criticism from opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is like a punch to Trudeau’s failure to fulfill his promises. Canada’s immigration, housing crisis, and scandal involving SNC-Lavalin have tarnished Trudeau’s image. Trump’s AI image seems to mock Canada’s predicament, while political figures in Mexico City try to use culture as a defensive weapon, but these approaches seem rather weak.
