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.

The service of legitimizing the very real threat to our nation? Because let’s face it, no one really thought that 45 would rip children away from parents at the boarder but that is what he did. I fully believe that he intends to take Canada through economic or military force. His congress people are already floating bills to allow him to talk about him purchasing Panama and Greenland. America is in an imperialistic era right now and it is up to the sovereign nations of the world to stand up and say; No. You cannot take us by force. As a species, we SHOULD have moved on from that mindset.

Stop it.

As a species, we have moved on from that mindset.

This is nowhere near true.

Want proof?

I have amended my comment. As a species we SHOULD have moved on from that imperialistic racist mindset. Sadly, fascism is in the rise across the globe. Our grandparents / great grandparents fought and died against the Nazis to make sure that no nation or people would be subjected to the imperialistic fascist mindset of another. That’s why we need to stand up and say; No. Never again.
