'The deeper the swamp, the more popular the bulldozer'

Do not be reassured by the apparent unpopularity in Saskatchewan of Donald Trump.

A provincial poll commissioned by the CBC from the University of Saskatchewan Social Science Research Lab suggests a fraction less than 20 per cent of respondents are on side with Trump. Those on the other side are nearer to 75 per cent.

Some will be horrified to learn Trump has any support here at all, but these are landslide numbers. If Trump were to run in Saskatchewan for public office, the poll says he'd get creamed.

But wait a minute. We've seen this before. Trump, according to the the polls, was going to get creamed by Hillary Clinton. The New York Times made Clinton a 98-per-cent favourite, right up until election day. To the enduring discomfiture of a hostile media that predicted Trump's resounding defeat, he won, comfortably enough to make an early night of it, at least for those not reeling around in shock....

President Trump canceled a trade agreement that was very favorable for Canada and Mexico and replaced with a more balanced one. I would be upset too if someone took away my free ice cream.

I was just in Saskatoon visiting family. If you thought CNN was one-sided and anti-Trump, try watching CBC or CTV. Just plain hatred for our POTUS. I did like how they were pretending that USMCA was a “great deal” for them and not for the USA, as their negotiators were smarter than ours.

For those whom (in the time-honored FR tradition) chose to comment w/o actually reading the article, I offer the conclusory paragraphs:

“The fly in Trump’s ointment was our sacrosanct dairy industry, protected by tariffs that block foreign competition while conferring on Canadian families, rich and poor alike, dairy prices higher than what Americans pay. Perversely, it was not Trudeau but Trump working for consumers’ interests here. So who is the bad guy?

Trump was elected to drain the swamp. The deeper the swamp, the more popular the bulldozer.”

You’re wrong there - Just like here, it’s the liberals in the big cities who hate Trump. Think of Saskatchewan as a giant Kansas, and Alberta as a bigger Texas.

They would make great states to add to the Union.

Sorry but go to You Tube and see videos of how Canadians think they walk on water and how much they hate the US.

Give us Alberta with the oil and British Columbia without Vacouver. Worked with a lot of oilfield hands from Alberta. They are like Texans with a funny accent.
