Loathing of President Donald Trump and his trash-talking trade wars has launched Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney into the socialist stratosphere. Try not to laugh at this headline from Rolling Stone Canada: "How Mark Carney Became Leader of the Free World by Standing Up to Trump."

This is the hot anti-Trump take: socialists can run the "Free World" while they impose socialism globally.

This same spirit took flight when European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen invited Canada to become the European Union's first associate member in a speech in France. She declared they wanted to bring the bilateral relationship "to the highest level possible."

The socialists at National "Public" Radio were thrilled. Paris-based reporter Eleanor Beardsley characterized this as an anti-bullying binge: "Europe and Canada have felt threatened by the U.S. under the second Trump administration, from the tariffs to the threats of leaving NATO and taking Greenland. Both the EU and Canada are feeling bullied by their long-term ally."
