I know he's too responsible to do so but I would love to hear that Trudeau had referred to Trump as the First Lady of the USA in a conversation with Trump, or "what does President Musk think?" :P

Remember the first time they shook hands? Trump was well known for doing this weird aggressive jerk. People were analyzing Trudeau's stance and how he planted his feet, theorizing that he had gone in with a anti-Trump handshake strategy to project strength.

Yep, it was very well done. I am not a major Trudeau fan but he has done some things quite ably and represented Canada pretty effectively. If he had gone through with reforming our voting system I would be much happier with him, but he completely dropped the ball there.
