It’s like he’s building a collaborative relationship with the press, taking the questions they ask and using it to do some homework for later so that his answers are even better.

Thank you for recapping while I am at work so I know to go watch the whole thing later. Side note: seems like he’s a complete economic nerd. Love that for him.

If you want soap opera Sky Med is good for that.

This was one of my favourite new shows of the year and I don’t typically like to watch comedies.

As I finish the intro, I think it be interesting to see how some things change but other don’t. At this point, I’m already convinced that some of what we are seeing today was already deeply seeded into the Canadian and American peoples and that the very divergent paths we are on was inevitable.

… are probably very unfathomable to the Founding Fathers and the Fathers of Confederations - though I’m pretty sure the Fathers of Confederations would go what the heck happened to the UK. But I digress… back to the intro!

A lot of this seems to hold true today except the last bit as President Trump is certainly not a traditional institutional authority. So much of what he’s done through out his terms is very unprecedented. I do find it interesting that where both countries started and where they are today…

This is juxtaposed with how the US started liberal - revolution with a Tea Party in Boston - “ended up producing a people who are, relatively speaking, materialistic, outer-directed, intolerant, socially conservative, and deferential to traditional institutional authority.”

I’m not even through the introduction yet and on p.10 there’s a bit on how Canada was initially a conservative society - which makes sense given that we did not undergo a revolution to shake off British Imperial power - has evolved into a much more liberal society “tolerant, socially liberal” etc…

Don’t get me wrong, there is much about the American people I may never understand as a Canadian however seeing what appears a speed run into fascism for the elephant next door is horrifying.

… versus how especially in the past decade we’ve seen in the US the eroding of the trust in authority so much so that experts in their own fields are no longer trusted, government institutions being shuttered and the rise of the oligarchy in the forefront of the American administration.

(Con’t) “have remained strong to the south.” - this seems particularly clairvoyant to today given how here in Canada there has been an upswell in patriotism and the expectation that our government stand up to the annexation threats from the US government

From the introduction: (p.5) “From distinct roots, Canada and the U.S. have grown up with substantially different characters : group rights public institutions and deference to authority have abided north of the border, while individualism, private interests, and mistrusts of authority…”con’t
