Steve Paikin: David Frum on Trump’s Iran attack and why Carney’s Canada must be more ‘cold-blooded’ than ever before Trump's great weakness as a politician is he can never believe that he's an employee hired to do a job. He thinks he's a master, empowered to give orders.

My Toronto Star column features an interview with @theatlantic.com's @davidfrum.bsky.social on the War in Iran, and how Canada should respond to that, and dealing with the U.S.
