In the article, Pat Kane reflects on his childhood experiences with bullying in a tough Northern Ontario neighborhood, emphasizing the life lessons learned from those formative years, especially in conflict resolution. He draws parallels between his past and the current political climate under Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau, criticizing Trudeau's passive approach to Trump's threats against Canada's sovereignty. Kane expresses his anxiety over the escalating situation, suggesting that just like in schoolyard confrontations, a lack of assertiveness can be perceived as weakness.
To navigate Trump's combative politics, Trudeau's failure to assertively confront his bullying has taught me that sometimes staying silent is mistaken for weakness.
Just like on the schoolyard, where being passive could result in further aggression, Trudeau's passive response to Trump may invite challenges to Canada's sovereignty.
