Why is the Toronto-based writer somehow not talking about Canada?

Yes, we have Black History Month. But that is not merely a USA-recognized entity. Black History Month is celebrated in February in both the USA and in Canada (in Britain they celebrate it in October).

So why the focus on a US President who has been in power a few weeks? Seriously, what does a white reality-TV star recently re-created as US President have to with Canadian black history?

This is not a criticism solely at the writer of today's article or today's subject. We saw the EXACT same phenomenon after the Quebec Mosque massacre and the Somalia famine, where Ontario writers all busied themselves talking on and on about Donald Trump and America.

Except, that is, for two Canadian Muslim columnists. In the wake of the Mosque massacre, Elghawaby and Khan each produced EXCELLENTLY Canada-centric columns not dwelling on Trump or the USA at all.

The editor should distribute their works as models to follow.
