Let me paraphrase what I read here.  Trudeau and company had our ambassador call in the foreign company and "offer" an "inducement" (threaten and bribe are overused words) by overpaying for an otherwise illogical defence contract, in order to cover up the federal government's continued toadying to a Quebec-based financial disaster.  One that builds airplanes with ever smaller seats that are the bane of the existence of all of us who are shoe-horned into them.

And discovers that, however high Mr Trudeau thinks he is held in the stoner culture of the left-thinkers of the American elite, he really is just a "small potato" when it comes to trying to "do business".

Once again; the list of simplistic ideas that fail is growing. And it isn't a "Liberal government" that is to blame.  It is one arrogant ego and a small personal coterie of alt-left fellow travellers.  Nic Nanos can poll all he wants; the street has concluded that "he just isn't ready" and waiting for the next election.
