"Globe editorial: Why increase Canadian military spending? One word: Trump".

That is the most foolish headline I have read in months, maybe years.

It is silly to set Canadian 20-year policy plans based on the tantrums of one man, of one fleeting, blink-of-an-eye president.

Seriously, are we supposed to believe that the trajectory of America from 1980 to 2000 was set in stone by Jimmy Carter's brief stint at the helm in the late 1970's?

Silly, silly, silly.
