LETTER: Canada needs someone to stand up to Trump

The only politician I have seen speaking for Canada is Ontario Premier Doug Ford

Our prime minister has promised to resign. Parliament is prorogued. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is closely hovering. Canada has put itself into a very precarious position. And who is standing up to the bully?

Not Trudeau, not Singh, not Polievre or Blanchet. The citizens of our sovereign nation have been left swinging in the wind. The only politician I have seen speaking for Canada is Ontario Premier Doug Ford. However, it was done in a very weak-kneed way.

In relating the news that Donald Trump Jr. was visiting Greenland, the CNN anchor stated as she pulled up a map: BԪַLook how close Greenland is to Canada. ArenBԪַt you concerned?BԪַ Again, a very namby pamby answer, how the U.S. will continue to trade with us because we have what they want. Well, hello. Why bother with trade agreements when the whole country of Canada could be absorbed?

Trump has seen Putin invading a neighbouring country. China may soon take over Taiwan. It is definitely a new world order. And we must fight like hell!
