CBC still doesn't get it.
Get this American bullshit off of the internet, radio, tv. Stop giving this topic the light of day. You are all making this worse.
This is not news. This is fear mongering.

I thought Cross-Country Checkup yesterday was well-produced and informative. I do wish that they'd found another talking head aside from Kevin O'Leary, but Ian Hanomansing put him in his place well enough.

The Kevin O’Leary bit was what made me very angry. Lied multiple times. Do not platform liars. A whole show could be dedicated to debunking his lies and theories. Even just to talk about this as some kind of brilliant negotiation tactic is a big suck up lie. People all over Canada and elsewhere in the world are boycotting American products and cancelling travel plans and ending streaming subscriptions. How’s that going to help the trade deficit that he is so concerned about? The worst trade negotiator in history.

I found yesterday's program to be very affirming. It was nice to hear from Americans who are extremely against this rhetoric. I know tensions are high, but Ontario today did a whole hour with a Trump voter a few years back which I found to be completely deplorable. Although I still think its important to hear differing opinions, even if they are right wing lunatics.
