The USA under the presidency of Donald J. Trump
Every race, every country, every culture and every religion
has its share of bigots, extremists and misogynists. Such people may be fellow
citizens, they may be neighbours or relatives, and yes, some may be people whom
we have called “friends”.
In Canada and the USA, as in many other countries, there are constitutions, bills of rights and so forth. Good for them, but those praiseworthy documents are truly just paper and won’t fix the problem when a country is lit by an inherent culture of greed focused through a lens of pure evil. Laws are worthless when they are willfully ignored.
