Like Brian Mulroney before him, Pierre Poilievre should plan a trip to Washington once Donald Trump is inaugurated
U.S. President Donald Trump, left, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speak prior to a NATO round table meeting at The Grove hotel and resort, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, on Dec. 4, 2019.All the consternation over what Donald Trump might do to our fair land after his jolting re-election triumph is not misplaced. But it isn’t the response strategy of Justin Trudeau and his Liberals that should be drawing all the attention.
It stands to reason that the Trumpians much prefer the Conservative Leader. Like them, he’s anti-woke, anti-elitist, anti-mainstream media, anti-carbon tax, and anti-deep state. Or to Mr. Trump’s other cast members, like incoming defence secretary Pete Hegseth – whose chief qualification for the job is that he was a Fox News co-host – or rabid right-winger and immigrant demonizer Stephen Miller, who has been named deputy chief of staff in charge of policy.
That’s highly unlikely. Mr. Trump feels emboldened, vindicated by his election triumph, and will be inclined to be more authoritarian and demanding of submissiveness from Canada than in his first term. He bases much on personal relations, and his relations with Mr. Trudeau – he’s called him a “far-left lunatic” – have hardly been harmonious.
“There was anti-Americanism everywhere. When they told me I should not do this, what I said back was unprintable.” He went to Washington, and Mr. Reagan insisted he call him “Ron.” Mr. Mulroney told him he was not going to be like his prickly predecessor, Pierre Trudeau. “I laid out my agenda and said we’re going to fix all the problems.” He was thrilled when the Gipper took him out to the Rose Garden and lauded him at a press conference.
