U.S. President Donald Trump and Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured in this file photograph. Politically, if we plank the curve, Mr. Trudeau will weather the minority Parliament and gain a majority in a few years, citing the need for strong leadership in the face of rebuilding the economy. If he falters, the hard-liners’ agenda will prove to be the wedge that keeps Canada a divided nation, write David Carment and Richard Nimijean. Photograph courtesy of Global Affairs Canada
