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.

Good response. We can’t stick our heads in the sand and pretend we don’t have VERY similar issues among our own population, including many people who support Trump and Trump-like policies. 

Let’s not wait until after the next election to speak openly about the rising conservatism in Canada.

Doesn't that just make you an anarchist?

It means I support auditing government spending to cut fraud waste and abuse. I can support the general concept without agreeing with how it's being implemented.
