22. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is juggling a lot of plates.

Besides pocketbook issues for Canadians, the Trudeau government has been trying to fix their healthcare system and address an affordable housing issue. Geo-politically, his support for the people of Ukraine seems to be popular. But on the other hand, PM Justin Trudeau received a letter from more than 100 parliamentarians from nine political parties in Canada, the UK, Australia, and NZ to join the 146 countries which have recognized Palestinian statehood, which was denied.

On top of everything, PM Justin Trudeau will have to deal again with the ignoramus who will imminently occupy the White House. Mr. Trudeau is not in an enviable position.
