How long Canada can go on with the Trump show is anybody's guess. The shifting sand method of the US president is something no one has ever witnessed or seen before, and even before this write-up is finished, we might have to rewrite it four times for a total end.
This is because Trump is capable of darting off on a whimsical foray, especially based on how his churlish feelings are affected by someone or something, as though he is constantly in a rapture of some sort, or caught by a bad fever. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's recent pronouncement that Canada will endorse Palestinian statehood was not part of the equation in current trade talks on tariffs with Trump. Still, it became an issue as soon as the Canadian PM expressed the proposed move. Meanwhile, Mr Trump is oblivious of his gargantuan inconsistency as he's not applying the same kind of pressure on France or England -- and others -- whose heads of government have publicly endorsed the same idea of a two-state solution to the Palestinian debacle.
