No, because I think bowing to Trump is very obviously bad for any Canadian politician. It costs votes here. PP is a quintessential politician. He is motivated by winning elections above everything else. He understands what the electorate thinks of Trump, which is why he has in recent days tried to suggest that Trump being nice to Carney after their call is somehow an indication that Trump wants Carney to win.

It may not be selling out all of the country, but he would for sure kowtow to Trump on demands for removing DEI type protections and cause a great deal of harm to many communities, the moment Trump told him to.

Trump doesn't give a #### about DEI protections in Canada. He has made no such demands. PP will probably remove those protections, or some of them, or otherwise change laws that he would characterize as "DEI-related", as a nod to "fighting the woke movement" or some such, but not because Trump tells him to. He'd have done that no matter who the President was, because he's a conservative populist. That's a completely separate criticism.
