Canadian Politics Today

I suspect that most of this breathless form of paranoia emanates from those who have never been much more than a few blocks away from their white, pasty faced insulated communities. It's amazing what a little international travelling can do to enlighten you and relieve you of that fear. The financial effects of Trump's illegal travel ban, which he dangles in the hopes will capture the votes of the "uneducated" which he said he claims he loves, are already being felt as the tourism business drops significantly. Hotel rooms in New York have apparently suffered the most. Who the hell would want to fly all the way from Europe for instance only to be refused entry because they may have a skin tone that's a little swarthy, or a name a little beyond Smith or Jones? So guess where they are coming to? Canada's tourist industry is already saying "thanks Trump, (you idiot)"
