Les menaces de Donald Trump contre le Canada occuperont sans doute les débats lors des élections fédérales, mais ne façonneront pas nécessairement leurs résultats.

Even in the face of Donald Trump’s threats against Canada, differences on foreign policy won’t necessarily shape the federal election’s outcome.
If Canada is prepared to leave Mexico behind in trade negotiations with the U.S., Canadian officials should be prepared for Mexico to do the same. In Trump 2.0, a united front might make more sense.
There have been major similarities between Justin Trudeau’s approach to foreign policy and Stephen Harper’s. But Canadian governments have limited flexibility in how they manage external affairs.
Minority parliaments create a political environment that discourages cabinet from bold acts. That means Justin Trudeau’s foreign policy will like be more risk-averse that it was before.
