We as Canadians need to stand against this type of rhetoric becoming popular in a nation that prides itself on diversity. We cannot be ruled by the politics of fear and the politics of division. The isolationist wave that has taken hold of Europe and the U.S. is being stoked by false statements and fear mongering- but we are a society that has already shown that politicians who use these strategies will not win our votes. Trump's values are NOT Canadian values, and to say so shows that you, Ms. Leitch, have no understanding of our country. There is a way to work with those who feel dispossessed by our current system, but it is not Trump's way.
