Reply To: What parts of The Grey Wolf resonated with you the most? Why?
Kathi, I absolutely regard Canada as a wonderful place to visit but that is not the end of my view of the people or country. In general, I would agree there are plenty of people in the US who regard Canada as an afterthought rather than a critical partner on the world stage, a central trading partner and an example of good governance that many in this country would do well to emulate.
I agree with your description of the incoming US administration. They are an embarrassment as are the US voters who voted for them. I was not one of them and I am one of 48.3% of US voters who did not. I find the general lack of criticism of the ridiculous claims of Trump to be disheartening and want more robust criticism from those in elected office.
I also find LP’s writing, esp. in TGW eerily prescient and have said that in some previous comments. Having said that, there are individuals and media who report accurately on the administration and on the reaction from Canadian leaders.
A couple random and general recent examples.
Here is a link to one recent media piece.
While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

This is satire but it makes a point.
