It’s really astonishing: so often, this administration’s priorities redound to superficial wins and stylistic changes.

Because there is no plan or urgency to solve anything structural.

Canada may be the most favorably viewed state on earth; they’re a major trading partner; we haven’t fought a war against them, but they fought alongside us in WW1, WW2, & Iraq; they don’t illegally immigrate to the US. The PM is a Harvard-educated white male banker.

What gives?
