Comment: The first sentence is ridiculous and is damaging to the fabric of Canada:

"With their escape route to the United States endangered by the orders of President Donald Trump, the people of Somalia now face a new threat: a looming famine that could bring starvation to millions."

Are you KIDDING ME?

Somalia is on the brink of famine and the Canadian journalist begins an article for a Canadian newspaper with a pot-shot against, um, a President and a foreign country (USA) in North America?

This is getting SO TIRESOME, this paper's mindless reflex of "let's poke a stick in the eye of the USA" as a way to begin story after story about long-standing food and medical challenges in impoverished nations. 

America! USA! Trump! Washington! Trump, Trump, Trump! Yankees!

Could our journalists PLEASE start framing longstanding overseas suffering in terms of "what can Canada do" rather than in the frame of "the USA is evil"? You are breeding a NEAR-SIGHTED, USA-OBSESSED citizenry in Canada.
