What a significant influence on Canadian governance Trump is turning out to be.

First, Trudeau is compelled to make a major shuffle to his heretofore identity politics cabinet to include some new ministers who are actually qualified and capable.

Then, Little Potato concludes the Canada-US trade relationship must be cultivated with a dedicated focus from  ministers and new cabinet committees.

He has even learned to mostly play nice with president Trump despite what could have been and could still be an acrimonious relationship in which yesterday's politics of liberalism and post nationalism collide with today's rise of populism and nationalism.

And now the government is deferring its tax changes to see what Trump will do on taxes. 

Maybe Trump arrived Justin Time to help us survive the Justin Trudeau years without the economic and financial disasters of the Pierre Trudeau years.

Why even long pants have reportedly been sighted in the PMO in recent days!
