   An extreme description that. It was a movement that has or is running it's   
   course - pretty much over. And I doubt Trudeau was that important or had any   
   influence or threat to the world view. Even so, you, your country has/have no   
   agency in what 'people everywhere' want or don't want. Quite simply MYOB.

   I'm aware.   
   I loath Trump and his followers for what he's doing to the world and his   
   neighbours! A billion times your loathing of little Justin.
