As an old-timer who’s seen his fair share of political antics, I think it’s time to take a step back, and look at things with a fresh perspective. Now… before you toss your hat in the ring and label me as a full-blown Trump supporter, hold your horses. I ain’t saying he’s flawless, but maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t be knocking Trump as much as a lot of folks are doing these days.

You see, Trump’s got a knack for stirring the pot, and truth told, sometimes, that’s exactly what the kitchen needs. Sure, he’s a bit rough around the edges, like a rusty old tractor, but he’s brought some important truths to the surface, that we can’t ignore, especially when it comes to the political system, the law, and the media.

It shouldn’t be the prospect of a Trump presidency that makes us rethink our ways. Nope… it’s the realization that the government we’ve had for the past few years, hasn’t exactly been a shining beacon of hope. Folks up here in the Great White North have been watching, and to me, it’s becoming pretty clear that the powers that be ain’t delivering the goods. But what can we do when the same old crew keeps backing the horse that’s dragging us through the mud? It seems to me that the so-called progress we’ve been promised, is just leading us deeper into the muck.

Now, I’m not suggesting we need to swap our leaders for a Trump-like figure, well maybe... but there’s a lesson in all this commotion. Maybe it’s time we took a hard look at the old policies of socialism, globalism, and that green dream our current leaders have been peddling. It seems to me these grand ideas are more like a leaky old boat – looks good from afar, but up close, it’s sinking fast.

What I hope is… that Canadians, after wading through the mess of the current regime, will take a lesson they won’t forget. For one generation, at least, we should remember, that change doesn’t always come in a neat, polite package. Sometimes, it’s loud, brash, and a bit unruly, just like a stubborn mule. But hey! If it gets the job done, and opens our eyes to what’s really going on, maybe it’s worth a second look. After all, there’s a reason why a lot of folks still find value in the things Trump’s been pointing out.

So, let’s not be too quick to dismiss the man who’s got folks talking, even if he’s not our cup of tea. After all, every once in a while, a little ruckus is just what the doctor ordered. GW
