> His behaviour before this incident set this up for failure too, it’s a long built up pattern where Canada is losing its position as a diplomatic power player I think the situation isn't as bad as it seems from the inside. In defense of Trudeau: ask a number of people outside Canada to name any Canadian Prime Ministers, and I bet most of them will readily be able to name only Trudeau. I just looked at the Wikipedia list and I only recognized four names, one of them because I knew Justin Trudeau's dad had once been Prime Minister, and one of them because Nardwuar embarrassed him once. What I'm saying is, I don't think there's some golden age of Canadian global influence that Justin Trudeau has caused you to fall from, and if that's your measure, he's actually not doing too bad. Regards, Justin Trudeau
