A New Way of Insulting One of our Closest Allies; What was Trump Thinking when He Insulted Canada (View from the North). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Ken Rogers.
The discussion was: Retired Canadian businessman Ken Rogers helps us understand Trump's insult to Justin Trudeau and Canada in general. Was it a serious insult or just an unfunny joke.
Why did he do that. What did he hope to achieve. What did he in fact achieve. How did it affect Justin's political image. What does Canada do when insulted by Trump. Was Justin's response appropriate. What should he have done. What would another PM have done. What could we then have expected from Trump. What was the reaction of people in Canada. What was their reaction to Justin's response. What was the reaction of people in the US and elsewhere. How did the insult affect foreign relations between the two countries. Is Trump likely to do this again, to Canada or other countries. What effect on global perceptions of Trump and the US. Did Justin or Canada accede to Trump's threats over the tariffs.
The takeaway was: As nations and neighbors go, Canada is our best friend and closest trading partner. We need to understand why Trump insulted it as he did, and what the repercussions are.
