Martin Regg Cohn: Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Doug Ford have one eye on Donald Trump and another on their own futures

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Trump evidently derives greater satisfaction from former adversaries who pay homage than from fellow travellers seeking favours.
52% : Trump was toast just a few years ago and now he's a political titan again.
44% : Unlike Poilievre, however, Ford is at least singing from the same Team Canada songbook as Trudeau.Which leaves us with two different playbooks from our political leaders for saving Canada from Trump.
40% : Hence the homage, of late, to the Team Canada spirit of the past -- when political rivals rallied to protect our patrimony and economy.
34% : Trump was clearly chuffed that the world-famous prime minister came at a moment's notice to give him face.
23% : The notion that Trump still holds a grudge against him, after a tiff at a summit years ago, is a misreading of his mercurial ways.
11% : Trump famously mocked Marco Rubio mercilessly when the Florida senator ran against him for the Republican nomination a decade ago.
