Last weekend on NBC’s Meet the Press, President Donald Trump kiboshed the notion that he might seek a third term as president. That doesn’t mean he won’t go on CBS’s Face the Nation next weekend and say the opposite, of course, but it’s a reminder that Trump, who’s currently breathing most of the oxygen in Canadian politics, won’t be around forever. And when he’s gone, all the problems that gave credence to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s “Canada is broken” narrative will still be around. Housing. Law and order. The opioid crisis. Foreign interference in our politics. Landlocked natural resources. We are an inefficient and economically dysfunctional federation, to the point where breaking down internal trade barriers is a tall order.
