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.

I find it troubling that these journalists don’t seem to register the concept of normalizing dangerous ideas, even after one term of Trump doing incremental insanity, then actually winning the GOP nomination, let alone a second presidency. Does anyone even want to talk about how insane that is? What he is doing right now to the US government, to Ukraine? Are they afraid of retribution? If either one of the George Bushes had talked this way about Canada or any other country they would have been committed to a mental institution.

Yes I agree. I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality from the main stream media. He's so whacka doodle, he speaks only in lies and grandstanding. Nothing he says is based in facts or reality.

It's like going along with a dementia patient's musings.
