The Issues Facing Canada If Trump Or Clinton Win

Canada’s neighbour elects a new president Tuesday with either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to take up residence in the White House. Each are proposing different agendas for the U.S. that pose questions, opportunities and challenges to cross-border relations.

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator Ð Saturday October 15, 2016 Donald Trump's problem isn't a conspiracy. It's him. This has been a bad week for Donald J. Trump. But what shouldnÕt be lost is that itÕs been a bad week because of Donald J. Trump. ThatÕs not how Trump sees it, of course. In his wild, conspiratorial speechÊyesterday, he blamed a Òconcerted, coordinated, and vicious attackÓ by the media and the Clinton campaign. He explained that his campaign represented an Òexistential threatÓ to Òthose who control the levers of power in WashingtonÓ and Òthe global special interests,Ó and it was their counterattack that was behind his current troubles. If he loses, he said, it will be because the system is Òrigged.Ó The only person who doesnÕt know whatÕs gone wrong for TrumpÕs campaign, it seems, is Donald Trump. None of TrumpÕs errors were forced. None of his problems were out of his control. He wasnÕt buffeted by bad economic news, or a staffer who said something dumb on television, or a change in geopolitics that undercut his campaign. Instead, the last week has been driven by three characteristics that are purely TrumpÕs: his absence of impulse control, his overwhelming desire to be and to seem dominant, and his tendency to lash out counterproductively and personally when attacked.

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator Ð Wednesday October 19, 2016 Nearly two-thirds of Canadians approve of Justin TrudeauÕs Liberal government: Ipsos One year since the Liberals won the federal election, two-thirds of Canadians approve of the job Justin TrudeauÕs government has done, according to a new Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News. ÒHeÕs very popular. If you look at leaders in the rest of the world, heÕs got numbers that any of them would envy,Ó said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs. ÒWeÕre finding 64 per cent of Canadians saying that they basically approve of his performance and the governmentÕs performance.Ó But although Trudeau is popular, his numbers arenÕt that different from the last time Canada elected a new government at the federal level. ÒPeople might say that Justin Trudeau is at an unprecedented level of public support, but we did the same poll with Stephen Harper in 2006 after one year of him being in power and he was at 62, so the difference is only two points, pretty much within the margin of error,Ó said Bricker. ÒSo I think when big change happens, after 10 years somebodyÕs in power, somebody new comes in and they deliver something different, people generally respond well to it. ThatÕs what we saw in the first year of Harper and itÕs what weÕre seeing in the first year of Justin Trudeau.Ó If TrudeauÕs government follows the same kind of public opinion trajectory, theyÕre in for a slow, steady drop: by the 2015 election, the Conservative approval rating had fallen to 41 per cent.

Despite Canada’s best efforts, Canadian interests could be sidelined while Clinton deals with more pressing domestic issues like resistance to her supreme court nominees and congressional Republicans who will work to thwart her agenda at every turn. Coupled with her international obligations like involvement in the Middle East and Asia, Clinton may be hard-pressed to find a lot of time for major new issues in the Canada-U.S. Relationship.

Given Canadian public opinion polls that show respondents favour Clinton over Trump, it’s not farfetched to say the Liberals are hoping the Republican candidate doesn’t win on Tuesday. Giffin says a Trump presidency wouldn’t be a fatal blow to Canada-U.S. relations: The relationship may be a little rough at the outset based on Trump’s tough stances on trade and immigration, but would smooth out over time. Giffin says the relationship itself is bigger than any one president: “It has a momentum and a centre of gravity that sort of drags an administration towards engagement with Canada, which is good.’’ (Huffington Post)

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator Ð Tuesday November 1, 2016 FBI gets warrant to search new Clinton emails The FBI has obtained a warrant to begin reviewing newly discovered emails that may be relevant to the Hillary ClintonÊemail server investigation, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. FBI investigators want to review emails of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin that were found on a device seized during an unrelated sexting investigation of Anthony Weiner, a former New York congressman and AbedinÕs estranged husband. The official, who has knowledge of the examination, would not say when investigators might complete the review of AbedinÕs emails but said Sunday they would move expeditiously. The Clinton email inquiry, which closed without charges in July, resurfaced on Friday when FBI Director James Comey alerted members of Congress to the existence of emails that he said could be pertinent to that investigation. The FBI wants to review the emails to see if they contain classified information and were handled properly, the focus of the earlier Clinton inquiry. Separately Sunday, another law enforcement official said FBI investigators in the Weiner sexting probe knew for weeks about the existence of the emails potentially related to the probe of ClintonÕs server. A third law enforcement official also said the FBI was aware for a period of time about the emails before Comey was briefed, but wasnÕt more specific. In his letter that roiled the White House race, Comey said heÕd been briefed on Thursday about the Abedin emails and had agreed that investigators should take steps to review them. It was not immediately clear Sunday what steps investigators took once the emails were first found to fully advise FBI leaders that additional and potentially relevant messages had been discovered.

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator Ð Saturday June 4, 2016 Hillary Clinton's evisceration of Donald Trump There's a new Hillary Clinton in town. A speech that was billed as a major foreign policy address instead unfolded as a savage, mocking evisceration of Donald Trump Thursday as the former secretary of state adopted an aggressive new campaign persona designed to repel the unpredictable challenge posed by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. In one of the most striking speeches of her political career, Clinton dispensed with the sober diplo-speak that has characterized her previous national security addresses and went straight for the jugular, unleashing a series of biting attacks on Trump. In the spirit of President Lyndon Johnson's notorious "Daisy" nuclear blast ad targeting Barry Goldwater's temperament in 1964, Clinton warned that Trump should not be let anywhere near the nuclear codes because he could start a war when somebody "got under his very thin skin." "He's not just unprepared -- he's temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility," Clinton said during the speech in San Diego, California, days before Tuesday's primary in the Golden State effectively concludes the primary season and confirms her as the presumptive Democratic nominee over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Trump fired back while speaking at a rally in San Jose, California, Thursday night. "I watched Hillary today and it was pathetic. It was so sad to watch," Trump said, calling it a "political speech" that had nothing to do with foreign policy. "It was a pretty pathetic deal," he added. The speech marked a significant moment in Clinton's campaign, as it was the first real signal of the tactics and attitude she will use to take on Trump and offered a preview of what are likely to be fierce clashes between the rivals at a trio of presidential debates later in the year. It demonstrated the kind o

This has been a bad week for Donald J. Trump. But what shouldn’t be lost is that it’s been a bad week because of Donald J. Trump.

That’s not how Trump sees it, of course. In his wild, conspiratorial speech yesterday, he blamed a “concerted, coordinated, and vicious attack” by the media and the Clinton campaign. He explained that his campaign represented an “existential threat” to “those who control the levers of power in Washington” and “the global special interests,” and it was their counterattack that was behind his current troubles.
