The U.S. political culture 'seems to be falling apart,' says columnist Keith Baldrey, believing B.C. will feel its disruption.
Former prime minister Pierre Trudeau once famously compared the relationship between Canada and the United States to that of a mouse sharing a bed with an elephant with the mouse affected by every “twitch and groan” coming from the big beast.
Biden’s move is akin to a political earthquake and could have major ramifications for this country and for B.C. At this point, it looks like Vice-President Kamala Harris — who has Biden’s endorsement, as well as the backing of many key Democrats — is the candidate to beat for the party’s nomination. A poll by Research Co. back in May showed 59 per cent of Canadians considered Trump’s time as president as being “very bad” or “bad” for Canada. That’s a high negative number, but it is down from the 73 per cent finding from a similar poll in 2020.
The difference in how Trump and Biden are viewed by the Canadian electorate may more likely be based on personalities than policies.
