这是近年来加拿大总理在国际舞台上最重要演讲(以前的总理都是跟着美国大哥跑,没什么机会),卡尼就此在国际舞台上扬名立万。。。尤其是davos的演讲,就像袍丁结牛一样把川普的所作所为分析了一个底掉,这是要刨了美国的根,以后懂王还怎么去讹诈别的国家?肯定怀恨在心
老土豆和尼克松也差不了多少。这是近年来加拿大总理在国际舞台上最重要演讲(以前的总理都是跟着美国大哥跑,没什么机会),卡尼就此在国际舞台上扬名立万。。。
此演讲会成为他的legacy。
至于trump的反应,那就不好说了。。。
反正横竖都得挨刀子,爱谁谁吧,至少卡尼的民调目前高挺,要是现在大选,卡尼还得赢。
我估计老Trudeau多少有些不服,加上受了卡斯特罗的熏陶,主动想“挑战”一下美国帝国主义。。。老土豆和尼克松也差不了多少。
Nixon's Criticisms
The Context and Response
- Insults: In private, Nixon referred to Trudeau as an "asshole" and a "pompous egghead".
- "Clever Son of a Bitch": Following an April 1972 visit to Ottawa, Nixon fumed to his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, "That Trudeau, he's a clever son of a bitch," and complained about the Trudeau-led "Canada liberation movement".
- Disdain for Persona: Nixon criticized Trudeau's demeanor, with his staff describing him as "repulsive" and having attitudes they disliked.
- Trade Issues: Nixon was angered by Trudeau’s lecturing on economics and felt other countries, including Canada, were "ganging up" on the U.S. regarding trade.
- The Famous Retort: Upon learning of Nixon's derogatory comments, Pierre Trudeau famously quipped, "I've been called worse things by better people".
- "Sleeping with an Elephant": Trudeau famously described the Canada-U.S. relationship during this period, saying, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast... one is affected by every twitch and grunt".
- Surprising Support: Despite these tensions, Trudeau made a supportive phone call to Nixon in 1973 during the height of the Watergate scandal, telling him he had "great confidence and respect" for him, notes that "distressed" him were being made by others.
- Amiable Persona: Despite the recordings, some of Trudeau's staff maintained that the personal relationship between the two leaders was actually quite friendly in person.
