The Canadian Prime Minister made veiled criticism of Trump during a film festival, warning against pushing 'too far.' This represents international diplomatic tension.
This event scores 0 on constitutional damage despite mechanism='norm_erosion_only' because: (1) it involves a foreign leader's commentary, not US institutional action, (2) veiled criticism at a film festival has zero direct impact on US constitutional structures, (3) no US democratic drivers are engaged, (4) mechanism_modifier=0.0 applied as this is pure diplomatic rhetoric without institutional effect. B-score reaches 12.69 from moderate media friendliness (foreign leader criticizing Trump is newsworthy) and low outrage potential, with intentionality at 4/15 for venue choice and diplomatic signaling. Classification is Noise: A<25, no actual constitutional mechanism despite label, and all noise indicators present (foreign commentary, diplomatic posturing, no substantive US institutional impact).
Disregard. Foreign leader's veiled criticism at cultural event represents standard diplomatic signaling with zero constitutional implications for US democracy. Track only if escalates to concrete policy actions or institutional responses.
