actually, i think that what trump is broadcasting is clear: he sees trudeau as a child who doesn't belong at the big kids table.

so, he's brushed him off on his kids, instead.

if the canadian government is serious in building a relationship with donald trump, they're going to have to send him somebody his own age (or older - he'll respect his elders) that has a history in business. donald trump and his cronies are simply never going to take a 40-something liberal seriously.

the obvious candidate is paul martin.
