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.

I disagree on your first paragraph, I don't think Pierre is able to distance himself from the policies he himself supports.
To the bold, the Trump admin does care:

Pierre would do this loudly, as a win to Trump. "See, I'm with you, lets work together."
