“Why can’t he be our President?” Well, aside from the obvious…

The cover is for a big new profile on Trudeau and how he’s become an icon of sorts for American liberals in the age of Trump.

Trudeau had this to say in particular about his relationship with the American president:

“Obviously, I disagree [with Trump] on a whole bunch, but Canadians expect me to accomplish two things at the same time, which is emphasize where we disagree and stand up firmly for Canadian interests,” says Trudeau, loosening his jacketless tie. “But we also have a constructive working relationship, and me going out of my way to insult the guy or overreact or jump at everything he says [that] we might disagree with is not having a constructive relationship.”
