Worry about Trudeau, not Trump

RE: PRO-TRUMP LETTERS

-

Canadians who obsess over every tweet from and about Trump and support every attempt by mainstream media and the radically partisan Democrats to oust Trump in a coup that was set in motion before the last election should really be more concerned about what is happening a little closer to home in Canada.

We have a situation in which our own leader has been slapped for violating four sections of the Conflict of Interest Act with respect to two 2016 vacations on a private island owned by the Aga Khan and once again in 2019 for violating Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act in which he influenced the decision to “improperly further another person’s private interests.”

Allegation­s against Trump were found to be false by dozens of top lawyers in the two-year Mueller investigat­ion of “Russian collusion.” Trump is called a “racist” and smeared with other silly labels thrown at him and at all conservati­ves these days. There is indeed a state of harsh and polarized nastiness in politics today. Trump is much different from his predecesso­rs — a pragmatist with an inimitable style rather than a politician.

Canadian leaders should uphold the laws, make fewer mistakes and learn from their mistakes. These leaders should not be afraid to make sincere apologies. They should be held accountabl­e and responsibl­e by honourably resigning for egregious breaches of the law.
