Canada falling into the anti-Trump trap
The election of President Donald Trump in the United States is changing the political world in Canada.
To his critics, Trump’s the worst of everything a human being can be. His detractors call him names that would have been considered extreme even for a president as divisive as Richard Nixon.
According to his supporters, he can do no wrong, even though he brags about inappropriately touching women, or slanderously refers to the countries that Canada trades with and relies upon. His detractors are tossed off as fake news or simply dismissed.
The elephant next door, as former prime minister Pierre Trudeau called the United States, is morphing into a mammoth on steroids.
