Western Standard - Obsessive Canadian opponents to Trump fear Canada’s economy is at risk

00:00:00.000 trump derangement syndrome and it's a real thing and it doesn't just cause harm to the

00:00:04.240 mental health of some people it's harming the country i mean some people have become so obsessed

00:00:09.360 with their hatred of president-elect donald trump they've lost all sense of reason a perfect example

00:00:14.080 in canada is veteran journalist andrew coin i see one of the commenters mentioned him as soon as

00:00:17.840 trump derangement syndrome came up i mean while coins never made a secret of his dislike of trump

00:00:21.840 he's typically well composed online and public but since the last election he's become outright

00:00:27.120 unhinged his posts on social media at first drew chuckles from people but now they've reached a

00:00:31.040 point where people are seriously starting to get concerned about his state of mind i mean

00:00:34.800 people don't joke about making wellness checks on coin any longer it becomes evident he's really

00:00:38.880 actually suffering a mental health breakdown over this coins far from alone i mean on either side of

00:00:43.920 the border we see this you only need to tune in and watch the coven of harridans hosting the view for

00:00:48.560 any given 10 minutes to see how bad trump derangement syndrome can be the show used to cover a variety of

00:00:53.440 topics now it's just a daily rerun of hyperventilating over trump's win and hyperbolic predictions of what

00:00:58.640 he'll do when he while he's in office the extent of the derangements evident in the bags under their

00:01:03.840 eyes his lack of sleep has overpowered their botox injections and facelifts i mean if trump's

00:01:08.480 literally keeping you awake at night you have a problem pundits and politicians they've got to take

00:01:13.680 a controlled reaction to trump's presidency and start looking at how they're going to interact with it

00:01:18.800 he's going to be in whether you like it or not blindly opposing trump on all issues while

00:01:22.240 insulting demands only going to harm canada's already fragile economy further national political

00:01:27.600 commentators and leftist politicians they've been aghast that premier daniel smith's going to be 0.98

00:01:31.920 traveling to washington for trump's inauguration in january are they complete fools have they no clue 0.96

00:01:37.280 whatsoever about diplomacy and trade let's put the numbers out there alberta exports about 80 billion 0.97

00:01:42.560 a year in products to the usa canada as a country exports 438 billion annually south of the border and we

00:01:49.440 import 277 billion dollars every year we're very dependent on maintaining a solid relationship it's 0.96

00:01:56.000 our largest trading partner and it's sheer idiocy to be antagonizing the incoming president 0.98

00:02:01.600 trump was elected on a protectionist mandate and let's face it he has a vindictive streak 0.96

00:02:05.600 it doesn't take much goading to push him over the edge and uh have him bring even heavier

00:02:10.960 tariffs on trade goods from you know within canada i mean we got headlines painting him as the second

00:02:14.960 coming of hitler he's not going to feel much sympathy when he brings those tariffs in the

00:02:19.200 trudeau liberals are swirling the drain in public support and they haven't managed to chip away at

00:02:22.960 polyev's popularity so they've been pivoting towards attacking trump and a desperate bid to

00:02:27.120 draw support for themselves this tactic won't change the political fortunes of the liberal party

00:02:31.120 but it will harm canada trudeau doesn't have a good track record of putting the needs of the nation

00:02:35.840 ahead of his own unfortunately diplomacy is a delicate art leaders don't want to be too deferential to each

00:02:41.840 other but they also must maintain a level of respect for each other even if they don't like

00:02:45.360 each other smith's proactive approach to working with the new administration will surely benefit

00:02:50.000 alberta the benefits of reproach though might be wiped right out if trudeau continues to take shots

00:02:54.400 at trump while canada's uh subservient legacy media pundits cheer justin on you don't have to

00:03:01.040 like the orange man i'm not terribly fond of him i really do wish the republicans could have chosen

00:03:05.440 somebody a little more rational to represent them but in the end though it's their choice and trump

00:03:09.440 is who we must deal with rather than having a self-destructive four-year temper tantrum over

00:03:13.920 trump's presidency we should be in discussion with how we can pragmatically deal with it

00:03:17.760 step one to such a plan would be to quit attacking the guy if you're locked in a room with a

00:03:21.600 rattlesnake yeah trying to pet it probably isn't a good idea but provoking it's even a worse idea

00:03:26.640 figure out how to live with it until you can both leave the room don't let yourself be overwhelmed by

00:03:30.960 trump derangement syndrome and don't let your friends succumb to it either the condition's

00:03:34.560 contagious and it'll harm us more than covet ever did if it keeps spreading you survived the last

00:03:39.120 four-year term of trump and you're going to survive this one it's on you though if you want to come out

00:03:42.880 of this term with a semblance of mental stability don't be like poor andrew coin he's living in a

00:03:48.160 miserable place of his own creation and it's not doing anybody any favors
