"No one is protesting against Trump in spite of their skepticism about the man"

The number, and attendance, of protests against Donald Trump and his policies, all within the first two weeks of his tenure, is completely unprecedented. A vast swath of America is standing up against a man who appears to believe he is not president, but emperor.

I have to say, it's been a long time since I felt admiration for the American populace, but the outrage and civil action against Trump's sweeping and authoritarian policies is impressive. By comparison, Canadians have been far less engaged. When Stephen Harper, after being caught cheating in multiple elections and seeing elected members and party staff jailed, gutted the ability of Elections Canada to investigate fraud, Canadians could barely muster a whimper.
