Nowhere, "Let me tell you," does Doug Saunders blame Mr. Trump. I think you are seeking to weaken the argument by shabby attacks.

In Canada?  Russians almost certainly did not do the same thing that Putin appeared to have them do in the U.S. First, no one is suggesting Russians interfered with ballot casting & counting in either country. What Russians did in the U. S. election campaign was information based, interfering in what information appeared and did not appear in the news in a way that heavily favoured Mr. Trump.

That didn't happen in Canada. News that pushed the buttons of voters here was clearly made in Canada: Conservative comments about Mr. Trudeau's hair and his claimed inexperience, and Mr. Harper's desperate attempts based on Muslim marginalization in Quebec, for example. The latter, especially, was a terrible thing, but Russian help was not needed to do it. We heard it come from Conservative Party mouths.

Trudeau won honestly. Now, let's keep him governing honestly!
