Here in Canada, our national framework is based on the imperial aims of two founding cultures, the English and the French, one of which defeated the other but kept it on as a junior partner. Together they dealt with, and then controlled, the indigenous peoples who lived here first. They strategically invited workers from Europe, South and East Asia, North Africa and the West Indies to join them. Over time, the managerial relationship with indigenous people unravelled and a new one is being made.
Thanks, all. I've been thinking a lot about civic nationalism. It's the idea of a nation that people adhere to ideas and institutions, rather than forming a nation around an ethnic group.

Especially don't ask in a way that makes it sound like he's DUMB or BAD AT HIS JOB if he doesn't do the thing. We all know that he is dumb and bad at his job! We do not need piece of evidence no. 3,564,189 to be entered into the public record!
"Mr. President, I don't think you're smart enough to invade Panama. I double-dog dare you! You don't have the guts! Last one to invade Panama is a low-down skunk!"
Look, I know that this is part of what you learn at journalism school.
"Mr. Politician, you said you were going to do X and you haven't done it yet. Can you comment?"
"Mr. Politician, what did you mean when you said you'd do X?"
I can tell you definitively on behalf of the general public, we do not need those answers from Donald Trump, thank you very much! It's perfectly OK not to ask those questions and remind him of some terrible thing he said he'd do.

'Asked about his previous threats to take back the Panama Canal, Trump said that it was “sort of” still on the table.
“I don’t want to tell you that,” Trump said. “Sort of. I must say. Sort of. That’s sort of on the table.”'
