I BELIEVE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SADDENED AND HEART BROKEN ABOUT THE SAD STATE OF RELATIONS BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES…

AS WITH MANY NATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD, IT HAS TAKEN CENTURIES IF NOT MORE TO BUILD SOLID STATES OF RESILIENT STABLE DEMOCRACIES AND TURN TO NEIGHBORING STATES HOWEVER DIFFERENT IN POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL BELIEFS…

INTO LONG LASTING FRIENDSHIPS…

IT WILL RECOVER, I HAVE NO DOUBT, BUT THE TRUST BUILT SINCE 1776 AND 1867 WILL TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO RECOVER INTO SOME SEMBLANCE OF WHAT IT WAS…

CANADA IS FINALLY GROWING UP…

WE HAVE DONALD TRUMP TO THANK FOR THE KICK IN THE ASS…

THAT SAID, AMERICANS ARE AT CROSSROADS IN SHAPING THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF SENSE OF SELF WHEN IT WAS THE PARAGON OF LEADERSHIP AND MODEL TO THE REST OF THE WORLD…

NO LONGER

AND

THAT I BELIEVE WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME COMPARED TO THE BREAKING BROKEN BOND BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

BOTH SIDE WILL SUFFER

WHETHER THERE REMAINS ANY GOODWILL IN THE LONG TERM STILL HAS 2 MORE YEARS TO GO IN THE SHORT TERM

CANADIANS I BELIEVE ARE OF A COMPASSIONATE NATURE AND COMPROMISING PEOPLE

AND

THEY FELL JUST AS BAD FOR AMERICANS AS THEY DO FOR AMERICA’S OTHER ALLIES ACROSS THE PLANET

BUSINESS WILL CONTINUE, BUT THE PRICE WILL BE STEEP

THE BRITISH KNEW THIS WELL…

WITH COLONIALISM AND THEN STEERED AND CHARTED ANOTHER DIFFERENT COURSE THAT EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES AS FRIENDS, ALLIES AND TRADE

IF QUEEN ELIZABETH WERE STILL PRESENT TODAY…

SHE WOULD BE HORRIFIED BY THE RECENT EVENTS EVERYONE NOW FACES

AGREED THAT EVERY STATE SHOULD CHART IT’S OWN COURSE…

HOWEVER, THAT SAID, THIS IS THE MOST PAINFUL WAY TO DO THAT

IT IS DESTRUCTIVE, NOT CONSTRUCTIVE

AMERICA WILL BE THE LESSER FOR IT
