Express an opinion on dealing with bullies, and comment on the Trump administration's handling of international relationships.
The way to deal with bullies is to do exactly what they think you will be afraid to do.  They almost never have a plan in place to deal with the unexpected refusal to play along.  If you call them on every bluff, they soon run out of options. They wouldn't make threats if they didn't need something from you, and following through on their threats usually means that they'll never get it.  Let the Americans bluff and bluster -- it means nothing in the real world, and it makes them look stupid and incompetent when it fails.  They want to leave NAFTA?  Go ahead, and close the door on the way out.  Don't want to be in NATO?  Leave the keys with the doorman, and we'll give your room to China.   The threats are hollow and meaningless, and everyone knows it.  Trudeau knows it, Merkel knows it, May knows it, Putin knows it.  Trump and his minions are the only people in the world still playing in the sandbox.  I love Trump.  He's the best thing to happen to Canada since Kevin O'Leary left.
