As Trump watches his poll numbers sink under the weight of controversial policies and an unpopular war with Iran, he is casting about for scapegoats, said Robert C. Rowland, professor of rhetoric at the University of Kansas.
The same day, Michigan Rep. John James weighed in on social media with what he called a “FINAL WARNING TO CANADA.”
“Sovereignty comes with responsibility,” the Republican wrote, “and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.”
The primary disaster that is crossing the border is the utter corruption of US politics. No need to foresee anything. It is happening right now, in Ottawa. It is happening right now in Alberta. If not stopped, it will destroy Canada as surely as it has destroyed the United States.
Albertan here, I’m pretty sure I’ve been yelling this from every soapbox I’ve had access to since Jason Kenney was Premier, at this point, feeling pretty hopeless that Alberta is gonna do anything to prevent a yes vote to separating. Even if they can’t.
Sadly, too many take for granted what they have: don’t understand or appreciate it. There are some very hard lessons coming. There are aspects of Canadian culture and government that all Canadians should be fiercely proud and defensive of, but the US is extremely experienced and effective at sowing discord and conflict: divide and conquer. Petty grievances will be played up, a few will have their vanity and greed played to, then the rug will be pulled and all will be lost.
