I Hope Canadian Politicians Are Better Informed Than Being Shown On TV

Seems like McKay is confused in the video below.

McKay cautioned Trump about being careful for what he wishes for in proposing American courts could settle trade disputes because the courts have ruled against Trump.

Not exactly. 

A couple of U.S. district judges (in Hawaii and Maryland) have done so and were upheld by appeals courts with appellate powers called the 9th circuit (Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit) (run by mostly Democrat appointed judges). Given its reputation for liberal judicial activism, it's no secret they would do so. 

SCOTUS - the one that counts - upheld the travel ban. A ban that seeks to block immigration from nations determined to be a threat to national security and selected by the previous administration under Obama. 

Moreover, with Brett Kavanaugh's nomination, the odds favor Trump. 

In this light, McKay's caution rings heavily hollow.

It's one thing for the average Canadian to not know this distinction, but this is a former foreign affairs Minister? Just how ill-informed are Canadian politicians about American politics?

It's inexcusable. If a lowly blogger like me is more aware of how the American system functions than our 'masters', then it's no surprise how poorly we're handling Trump.

Canada seriously needs to wake up and Canadians should view Trump's with different optics. We're completely misreading Trump and rely too much on second information mostly from legacy media outlets who haven't exactly been fair in their reporting.

Trump owes us nothing.

We have UNFETTERED access to the greatest economic entity in world history and we're acting like we're doing them a favor. 

That's how myopic we've become.

Trump is doing Canada a favor to the extent past administrations simply enable our complacency. We simply took for granted our prosperity is intricately linked to American success. Trump, like he did with the EU, is simply telling us to man up a little.

He's not looking to 'destroy' Canada or 'steal our jobs' as Scheer inexplicably said in an absurd Facebook post.

I'm not holding my breath we're taking any lessons here. Sounds like Trudeau is gonna stick to the 'fight Trump' formula we see with Warren and Cuomo and other left-wing moonbats.

The pathetic show boating of Kavanaugh's hearing:
