Could there be an upside to Trump's unhinged attacks on Canada? | Chris Michael

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : And with the US abolishing renewable energy subsidies, Canada could become a green economy leader - not least by expanding its nuclear industry for export.
54% : Internally, Trump has inspired a level of solidarity that has not been seen in decades, even in what Justin Trudeau once called the world's "first postnational state".
53% : What can't be bad, though, is that Trump has caused Canada to come together and start re-evaluating its role in the world.
49% : If Trump makes good on the claim that he can "permanently shut down automobile manufacturing business in Canada", it would decimate the Golden Horseshoe economic powerhouse region around Lake Ontario.
34% : The Conservative party leader, Pierre Poilievre, who is unable to attack Trump as it's pretty clear he's a fan, has seen his 25-point lead evaporate.
33% : Trump the bully became dimly aware recently that nobody likes the US any more when he anxiously posted in the middle of the night that the EU and Canada better not band together or else he'd hit them even harder, "in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!"
30% : And Canadians have been willing to troll Trump back, joking that if Canada joined the US, it would be a blue state.
24% : But Trump has made a mistake.
24% : Last but not least, Trump is somehow engineering the reverse political trick in Canada of the one he's famous for in the US: instead of helping more clones of himself win office, his threats have left Trumpy Canadian candidates out in the cold.
