Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pondering about what Donald Trump’s “possible” return to the White House—and what it would mean for Canada if Trump defeats President Joe Biden in November is testament to how glaringly out of touch he is with the outside world.
It is not Canada that would most matter if Trump doesn’t return to the White House— but the fate of the entire Western world.
Self-centered, out of touch Trudeau doesn’t recognize the fact that ‘Without America there is no free world’.

Just when, pray tell, was it when Canada and the U.S. did their best when “doing it together?”
Canada does not align with the U.S., but only with the accursed World Economic Forum (WEF), to which Trudeau recently ceded its sovereignty.

Returning to Trump bashing, Trudeau stated:
Support Canada Free Press
"To buttress Canada's position in the North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations that followed, Canadian officials and leaders fanned out across American political and business sectors to make the case for continued co-operation between the two countries.
"We know there's always challenges whenever there's an American election," Trudeau said on Monday. "But as we have before, we are going to be ready to deal with whatever gets tossed at us and make sure we're defending Canadian interests and opportunities in a strong relationship."
"Trudeau acknowledged that Trump "represents a certain amount of unpredictability" but said it's important for the Canadian government to work constructively with the U.S. president.
"Speaking to reporters after meeting with cabinet, Volpe said it was a "good, candid" discussion. Volpe was involved in the NAFTA negotiation efforts and said his association's role was to be "ready to provide substantive, quantitative information" about Canadian investments in the U.S. and American interests in Canada.
"I think everybody knows that he goes to the protectionist well very often," Volpe said of Trump. "When we talk about American interests, it's important, whether it's Trump or Biden, we always are ready to turn around and show everybody that the American interest is, in large part, the Canadian interest."
"I think we learned that it was important to keep our information and our contacts very current. Specifically, in the auto sector, we know exactly where the 126 auto parts plants that are owned by Canadians are across the U.S. and we know the local congressional representative and we've been speaking with the senator," he said.
"I think we're better prepared this time because we've [rid] ourselves of the idea that you can check in when there's trouble. You should always be in contact."
"Champagne and Ng both stressed how integrated American and Canadian supply chains are.
"Our integrated supply chains support millions of jobs," Champagne said. "I've said that if there's one thing that President Trump understood and understands, it's jobs."
"Power & Politics asks Canada's ambassador to the United States about the prospect of a second Donald Trump presidency.
"Hillman argued that Canada must advocate for its interests regardless of who occupies the White House and that it's important to "focus on the issues."
"I find that at the local level, Republican or Democrat, people care about jobs, security, prosperity, clean water, energy security, energy affordability — those aren't really partisan issues," she said. "I think approaching it in that way is essential for Canada. Because that's what matters to us and we need to meet them on the issues, not on the politics, which are their own."
Meanwhile, as Trudeau attempts to divert Canadian attention to the American presidential election, millions of Canadians are looking forward to the Canadian federal Election, in the hopes of sending tyrannical Trudeau back to the profession of Snowboarding.
