I appreciate the Globe and Mail editorials that objectively summarize current events.

Many critics seem to think the G&M is biased or petty, but I see it as doing its job. Nobody can honestly defend Trump's actions and attitudes. You can cheer them the way you would a sports team, based on the colour of their jerseys, but pushing and insulting, and assuming confrontational positions with allies and cozy relations with adversaries is far from helpful, and far from presidential. Covfefe, anyone?

We need to make frank and bold statements to align our platforms. We cannot as a country support Trump. Many Canadians do, and shame on them because his proposed policies are damaging to them and their fellow Canadians. I don't understand how Canadians can rejoice at the upheaval and damage being done.

By speaking out we are better able to measure and gauge who and where our real allies are. And it's not among those who  bleat the paranoid mantra of fake news, MSM, and oh, yeah, those emails!
