Trump's win will give a boost to the floundering Trudeau

Trudeau could bounce back and not only stay on as pm, but lead the Liberals to victory next year.

The happiest Canadian, today, is Justin Trudeau.

For months, now, Trudeau has been very, very unpopular. The gap has been as much as 20 points, for more than a year.

As such, he has thrown everything at the wall to see what would stick. Abortion, hidden agenda, foreign interference, you name it. But none of it has worked.

Until now. Until Donald Trump came "roaring back," as the New York Times put it, with a big, big win in the electoral college. The Republican presidential candidate becomes the first to win the popular vote in 20 years.

Trudeau has been thrown a lifeline by millions of American voters who grabbed the steering wheel and yanked it to the right. At some point, the prime minister will come out looking somber and serious. He will stand before a gaggle of microphones.

He will say three things. One, he will say that he has reached out to Donald Trump to offer his congratulations (I doubt he got through). Two, he will say that his government will continue to put the priorities of Canadians first, and continue to work closely with our most important ally and trading partner.

And then, third – in response to a question from somebody at CBC or the Toronto Star – he will say that it is now more important than ever before that Canada has a progressive team to protect Canada's interests. He will say that part with the appropriate level of drama and passion. He will say "progressive" 100 times, if he can.

And you know what? Many Canadians – who to this point have deeply disliked Trudeau — will agree with that. And, soon enough, the polls will reflect that.

Will it be enough to bridge a 20-point gap? Not right away.

Justin Trudeau is going to be working very hard to give Pierre Poilievre a shiny new MAGA tattoo. It may even work.

Sometime during Tuesday night everything changed. For the United States, for Europe, and even for little old Canada. It's about to get really bouncy.

And, if you look closely enough, you will see Justin Trudeau suppressing a smile.

I read today that Quebec Premier Francois Legault is already speaking with the Trump transition team about stopping folks facing deportation from entering Quebec through it's border with Vermont.

The odds of Trudeau not leading the Grits into the next election have dropped considerably.

God help us if he is able to con us into giving him another chance.

He sees Trump's victory as opportunity to smear Poilivere. I hope Canadians don't fall for it.

They might.
