Canada Right To Stand Up To Trump

-

Fellow Canadians, we should be proud to be Canadians. Our once so-called allies to the south have decided to call Canada a security threat. This means they see us as being a hindrance to their country’s security.

To many of us this threat is maybe acts of aggression or something they find that affects their national security. Under the Trump administra­tion this wording has taken on a totally new meaning, and it’s about a country getting in the way of his rhetoric and lies. The threat, as he describes it, gets in the way of his idea of Making America Great Again. His stupid wordings and short forms gets on your nerves. Trump’s idea of making the U.S. great again is by him attacking the allies because they reflect the total opposite of what Trump wants, not for his country, but for himself. Canada stood up to Trump, not because of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the politics, but because it’s the right thing to do for your country. Many may not like Trudeau, but what politician did Canada have that would jeopardize our economy and our civility to the rest of the world like Trump is doing now? Canada has far more resources than anyone really thinks and for the U.S. to push its weight around while Trump is in office, I’d say, bring it on. Trump needs to be taught a lesson. His tactics as a businessma­n don’t apply in politics. All the bankruptci­es he’s had in the past reflects how he really is. So be proud your country isn’t the laughing stock of other nations as the U.S. is becoming. I feel bad for the Americans because not only are they spiralling down economical­ly, racism and white supremacy are gaining ground because of the Trump administra­tion.
