Joel Kotkin: Trump aside, Canada and the U.S. need to co-operate
Our economies are linked; we more the same language and we're learning that mass, unregulated immigration is no solution to economic sloth
I have good news for Canadians, including my wife’s family — the grunting has a sell by date. Donald Trump is already on the way out. Even as he postures and shapes the world, sometimes for the better, often for the worse, Trump is rapidly becoming a “lame duck,” even losing his grip on his once loyal vassals in Congress, as well as the constitutional conservatives on the Supreme Court.
There have also been reports that suggest his health may be declining. Trump is 79, reportedly takes more aspirin than his doctors recommend, gets little sleep, sometimes has trouble keeping his eyes open at times during televised White House events, and his ankles swell. His diet of fries, Big Macs and sodas probably doesn’t help.

Statesmanship and the Classical Liberal Order
Modern political debate often assumes we must choose between statesmanship and self-government.
