Bill Clinton and George Bush Jr were the deplorables behind the wreckage of 2008. Tragically, Obama and his flunkies in the American financial system decided  the remedy to 2008 was to print about $6 trillion in phony money debt and then buy it back themselves while encouraging zero to negative rate policies. In true socialist fashion they thought that might re-inflate the economy. Like every idiotic socialist bit of tinkering, it did the opposite.  

If Trump can spur real economic activity while normalizing interest rates then Canada may have its economic backside saved from the horrendous damage done by the humpty-dumpty duet of trudeau and Wynne.
