All very good thoughts.
The hair pulling and crying phase soon over and the drum beating has started.
I wish I had more knowledge.
People in general never give culture the consideration it demands.
Joe Citizen in any country has a world view that is filtered by his culture.
Trump is nothing new. Simply a narrow caricature of one aspect of American culture. With the exposure of modern media. Read your history.
Canadian culture is a little harder to pin down. Our history different. Our govt structure different and our geography different.
When this is in the history books in 25 years it will be a blip.
But will our countries look, or act differently?
What are some fundamental aspects of American culture that will be the same?
What of the Canadian culture that will be?
I speculate that isolationism and protectionism will still be a part of theirs. And that regional bickering still a product of ours.
One beneficial for sovereignty and security. One detrimental.
Equal treatment of all provinces by Ottawa can't yet exist.
At any rate, Canadian's viewpoint of sovereignty and security rather immature and naive, existing naturally in a nationalism vacuum.
Other than being expensive, nothing will change other than further industry consolidation.
If only this energy and fervor instead of being focused on Trump and his outlandish 4 years could be trained on our own real risks of being the Davos alumni's first post nation collection of city states.
Maybe that's the only way to get rid of Ottawa after all?
