Such a desire to flee an election result in the United States is often expressed, but rarely borne out. Since becoming prime minister a year ago with a promise of “sunny ways,” Mr. Trudeau has enjoyed an unusually close relationship with President Obama.

We want to hear from readers outside the United States on the election of Donald J. Trump.
