Canadians have a profound interest in this election. We are all affected by American policy. In all the buzz I have yet to hear someone answer questions from a Canadian viewpoint.
While it is laudable to interview American pundits, where are those who can comment on what is going on as mirrored in Canada? Coverage seems rather focused on what is happening in the US, not what it will mean to us.
It was the Clinton's administration that was involved in the scandalous timber tariffs. Free Trade, and the undue influence on Canadian Copyright Laws are a couple of concerns. The American influence on our security systems is another concern. The collection of personal data is a HUGE issue for the average Canadian.
Am I missing comments in our media on these issues? This is our chance to highlight our concerns. I would like questions to be asked about the kind of impact this could have on Canada and take the debate a step further. The Clintons have a history that demonstrates their views. What about the others in the race?
