      I was expecting his leadership to reflect his book values more, but the complexity of geopolitics, or some other factor, has put that aside.

      Agreed. There’s definitely an element of Realpolitik at play. The USA is creating a power vacuum and Canada needs to fill enough of that void in the short term to maintain leverage long term.

      I don’t know much about China or Russia but I’m going to assume their billionaire oligarchs as equally soulless as the cretins that rule western nations.
