"There are shared values — openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other, to search for equality and justice. Those qualities are what make us the first postnational state." ~Justin Trudeau [1] Mr. Trudeau sure likes having it both ways, fancying himself a postnational while influencing people in Canada to watch more Canadian media. He has also been the driving force between keeping the US/Canada border closed during the pandemic for better or for worse, making his trade policy effectively more nationalistic than Trumps in practice. He's a postnationalist in name only and in reality he's a proud anti-nativist nationalist. His Liberal party also has connections to the "Century Initative" [2] which imagines a Canada population 100 million by 2100. This population will presumably be safely protected from the foreign pandemic and watching wholesome Canadian Content.

> He has also been the driving force between keeping the US/Canada border closed during the pandemic for better or for worse The US should be more concerned with the re-opening of the border, considering the current complete vaccination rate of 35% vs 3% in Canada. > making his trade policy effectively more nationalistic than Trumps in practice Doesn't seem nationalistic at all. Remember the C-Series plane? Trudeau did absolutely nothing for the industry and immediately bowed down to Trump after he slapped tariffs later judged to be illegal. Well, not exactly, there was whining and a vague threat to switch an order of fighter jets from Boeing to Lockheed. Couldn't inject a little bit of capital at the right time. Airbus swooped in and bought the whole thing at a heavy discount. Engineering shipped to France and manufacturing to Alabama.
