Also, anyone who’s actually been involved in international politics, LIKE TRUMP DID FOR FOUR YEARS, should know that one does not “joke” in international politics. One assumes that the words coming out of one’s mouth will be taken at face value, no matter how many “it was a joke” retractions and posts and apologies you make.

Trudeau and Freeland handled the last term better than anyone around here expected.
Definitely helped having a PM with experience working with children.
