White House and Pierre Trudeau

demagogue: Some of us even wonder why the rest of us get so exercised about Trump since he basically America problem and not ours, according to Huffington Post Canada. Does it really matter that Trump is a clown, a bully, a demagogue or all of the above Even if he ends up in The White House, why should we care He not our problem. We marvel at his chutzpah and outrageous statements and give daily thanks that we do not have to face the possibility of him being our new leader. In four years he'll be gone and things will be back to normal. After all, as Pierre Trudeau once said, living next to the United States is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant: "No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast....one is affected by every twitch and grunt." Sometimes history provides some interesting parallels that can serve as a modern warning sign. Yet the more I think about it, the more I'm concerned that we here in Canada may be too complacent.
