As of the time I am writing this, it isn’t clear whether the Liberals have won a plurality or an absolute majority in yesterday’s election. What is clear is who lost–Trump and Elon Musk. Their repeated attempts to bully the Canadians into submission received the proper response from a liberal democracy. Now they will have to deal with the consequences.
Do you suppose Trump will have learned that being offensive to your friends is not a good way to get what you want? Don’t bet on it. Trump only has one speed, and diplomacy–except with autocrats, of course–isn’t it.
