Liberal pragmatist with social democratic tendencies. waterfrontforall.ca. Climate Change is a clear & present challenge. Vaccines work. Housing abundance is necessary. Art is not surplus to requirements. No, it wasn't 'better' back then.

I think a lot of honest, well-meaning people are reading the Prime Minister’s statement the same way he possibly wants trump to read it. If I’m going to fault him, it could be for assuming Canadians had better critical thinking skills. Something we can all work on.
