yep, and trudeau's body language is like a little kid who knows he did some shit he isn't supposed to do but knows his mom (america) will protect him. "my mom said i'm allowed to call you the f-word so i wont get in trouble"

An important piece of context here is that Xi usually only meets heads of state.

I don't think this is true, XJP regularly meets with heads of government. Plus the governor general for Canada is basically the pseudo head of state (and does do all the state visits and so forth that you'd expect).

An interesting tangent is that most Commonwealth countries have murky definitions of their head of state and in many cases not clear whether the governor general or monarch is the actual head of state. This gets extra silly for somewhere like Australia, where the federal representative of the monarch is the governor general, but this position does not represent the monarch for Australian states - who each have their own connection to the monarchy and their own representative.

The Queen would definitely have leaked it, just in a way that it wasn't traced back to the Queen so the brits can keep pretending that their monarchy isn't deeply involved in politics.

Anyway Trudeau is a piece of shit and another L is unsurprising

From a purely technical perspective you're right. But in reality the british crown does not negotiate for Canada. Canada is essentially sovereign but maintains some more or less ceremonial ties to the british crown.

Typical westoid reaction to being held accountable in even the slightest ways

Trudeau is not an equal to Xi. Trudeau is not head of state and they broke their rules to have Xi meet with him in the first place.

china owns the west in the global scheme of things, it doesn't need to be directly adversarial the way the west does to 'enemy nations'. china is just on its chad shit rn

No, they're pretty open and frank about their support of Israel

No we don't. That's simply not how diplomacy works first of all and it's a massive mischaraterization of the Canadian, we are essentially if Minnesota was a country. We are neither frank nor open and we don't discuss anything.

I loved learning about that time that some whacko was able to walk into the PM residence and surprised Mrs. Chrétien making tea in a night gown (my recollection of the specifics are fuzzy)

Kids these days don't know what a Shawinigan handshake is and that's sad 😞

idk much about him, i will say supporting israel should be a bad public scandal tho lol. it's way too normalized everywhere.
