The best-case scenario would have been that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent trip to India was merely embarrassing. The Chinese apparently weren't as keen on our government's "progressive trade agenda" as we had hoped or believed. Trudeau's India trip, on the other hand, only started out as embarrassing: for days, he paraded around his costumed family and danced the bhangra like a bad impression of Phil Dunphy after his first yoga lesson. His office shrugged off suggestions that he was snubbed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and had to correct the record when Trudeau misspoke and announced that India would be investing $1 billion in Canada (the figure is actually $250 million). "The Indians made us do it" is something a belligerent racist yells from the drunk tank; not a prime minister on the House floor.
