Here's a comment I submitted that never appeared.  Pro-Trumpies seem to be able to get many of my comments nixed. The worst part of Trump's military expenditures is paying for them by trashing the soft power options the US has wisely used. And he's further weakening the social fabric of his own country which is already sufficiently damaged to have the motivation to elect him - how bad is that? The fellow is wretchedly unwise and is going to drag a lot of people down including a great many of his supporters. Canada needs to retain its friendship with our great neighbour even as we try still more to strengthen our economic and social connections elsewhere. On a very personal note, if US PBS disappears it will seriously impact viewing habits in our home. We appreciate the trustworthy public affairs coverage and entertainment where you aren't feeling threatened by the potential emergence of the tastelessly crude.
