Whatever one thinks of Trudeau, he seems to be doing a good job at diplomacy. It's fair to say that Trump and Trudeau are about as far apart as Obama and Harper. Harper made a point of insulting the Obama administration and being seen to be choosing sides in their election: these were unforgivable unforced errors that cost Canada. We'll see how Trudeau gets on. Certainly he can't do worse than Harper and indications are that he has a lot more game.
