It would be nice to have another colorful First Spouse. By that I mean, one who isn't the spouse of a psychopathic dictator. It's less cute when they have absolute power.

Americans have a strange attitude towards Canada. A lot of the subtleties of the politics get lost. We hardly see any news analysis, despite having so many Canadians reading our news to us.

I think Europeans take a much greater interest in the political affairs of their immediate neighbors. Maybe it takes a recent war to keep people interested.

Other than Quebec separatism and the late great Rob Ford Canadian politics is just kind of boring, :shrug:

It seems that Yusra Khogali of the American action group black lives matter tried to spice things up there by calling Trudeau a white supremacist.

So Trudeau is set to visit Trump on Monday and there is a lot for them to talk about: Keystone, immigration, a northern wall?

CTV: PM Trudeau shouldn't worry about 'dangers,' focus on opportunity with Trump: former ambassador

Quote:

"The opportunity is to come in and build rapport with your next-door neighbour, your largest trading partner, your ally.... These two men will have a lot to work together on, for prosperity for both Canadians and Americans, and for protection. And those are the things that both a prime minister and a president have as an obligation to the people: prosperity and protection."

The Daily Beast published an article saying that terrorist immigration is worse from the northern border than the southern.

The CBC reacted: CBC: 'The real bad guys' are coming from Canada, not Mexico, Daily Beast report alleges
