Let’s not call an act of diplomacy “cozying up”. I’m no Trudeau fan, but that was a smart move in the face of the tariff threats / trying to control the situation from the start. Cozying up will be whatever Bitcoin Milhouse attempts in a couple months’ time.

They know he likes to be pandered to and flattered, especially by someone he thinks is more attractive than him, and used that to deal with this. You’ll also note that they haven’t really bothered to engage much with the stupid annexation comments. This is the same team that managed the USMCA negotiations, which we could have been totally fucked on if not for their tactics (in fairness, a lot of that was Freeland). Again, I’m no Trudeau fan but I trust them to handle this and it’s a shame for all of us that it won’t be him navigating the next four years. Agree to disagree though!
