This column is actually THE BEST COLUMN that has appeared so far in the Globe and Mail since the massacre.

And I am not being sarcastic.

Read it and notice its EXCELLENT features:

- It does not have multiple sentences dumping on America
- It does not name Trump
- It names many Canadians
- It invokes an affinity for a Canadian/Canadian product (Gilles Vigneault and his book) instead of invoking a repulsion for an American/American entity.

This column is the ONLY column in this newspaper to have achieved the above accomplishment, succeeding in all of the above areas. 

Well done, madam, you have written the kind of column that MORE GLOBE AND MAIL COLUMNISTS SHOULD WRITE.

Your words make Canada bigger. All of your colleagues' words, who failed in this competition, their words make Canada smaller.
