    No, he doesn’t.

    Representing a country DOES NOT EQUATE to representing every single person in said country. This is like saying Hitler represented every single German. It’s laughable.

      When the American president says he wants to take Canada as the 51st state, we don’t look at it lightly.

      When Trump and his administration trash talk Canada, it reflects on all of America. I personally hold all of America responsible.

        Ok. Then I’ll hold every Canadian responsible for the murders of native residential school children.

          If you like, sure. It is a fucking travesty in our past and a solid reason to go after the church behind it.

      He may not represent all US population views, tho when he SPEAKS he speaks for the US. How do we separate that? It sure seems when Doug put out that ad that ALL Ontarians and all Canadians were lumped into the same boat (all negotiations are OFF), even though no one outside Ontario COULD even vote for Doug. I didn’t vote for Doug, he doesn’t represent my views, but he speaks for Ontario… where I live
