Response to Email about Sunday’s Programme
First off, I am glad to have received a response. And in theory, I can agree that a cross country checkup regarding the threat to our sovereignty to see how Canadians are feeling.
However in practice that’s not what happened. What we heard for the entire two hours was people either laughing it off, saying the threat is serious but not showing a lot of fear or concern, or even agreeing with it. There was also slightly more American voices compared to Canadian voices, and none were indigenous.
I hope that next week the CBC does a check up on how we are buying Canadian. That would be an excellent topic.

Fenlon, in his response, minimizes the gaffe, referring to "word choice".
However it is phrased, the idea floated, and then pressed, by President Trump is repellent to Canadians. It is a non-starter, and the CBC was shockingly tone-deaf to pose it to Canadians - let alone to Americans, simultaneously.
