Saturday night I watched, courtesy of CNN, a live Broadway performance of Good Night and Good Luck<\/em>, a play about journalist Edward R. Morrow and Joseph McCarthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are too young to remember who either of these men was, Edward R. Murrow was a renowned World War II correspondent, and Joe McCarthy was a United States\u00a0Senator who, following World War II, led a movement that alleged widespread communist infiltration of American institutions, including government, academia, Hollywood celebrities, and the media.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a dark period in American history, denying due process, blacklisting thousands of individuals, accusing innocent Americans of communist ties without a shred of proof, and impacting both freedom of speech and democracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edward R. Murrow, following his stint as a war correspondent, was a news anchor for CBS Television. In that role, he regularly became a thorn in McCarthy\u2019s side, condemning his attacks on the American people and American institutions while most other members of the media ducked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I watched the performance on Saturday, named after Murrow\u2019s famous sign-off to his news broadcasts, \u201cGood night and good luck<\/em>,\u201d I could not help but see a mirror image of what is happening in the United States today. I was not alone in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One former cable anchor put it quite succinctly. \u201cMcCarthyism and Trumpism have a lot in common, the abuse of power, the lack of due process, the attack on journalists. Also, there\u2019s an ideology \u2013 an ideology based on lies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump shares many of the traits of McCarthyism, but he goes much further. Truth doesn\u2019t matter to him. He says what he wants to say, and the veracity of what he says or the damage that results is inconsequential to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He uses his power to exact revenge on those who do not pay homage to him. He pardons felons who never should have been pardoned simply because, at one time or another, they licked his boots.\u00a0 He defies the courts, abuses his power, threatens the sovereignty of other jurisdictions, attacks academic institutions, and truly believes that the world revolves around him, allowing him to do whatever he wants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past week, trainloads of military equipment were pouring into Washington on the pretext of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. In reality, it will be a huge military parade, not coincidentally on Donald Trump\u2019s birthday, that he will view as empowering and honouring him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Trump will be up there, taking the salute in a manner seldom, if ever, seen in the Western World but often witnessed in despotic countries such as China, North Korea, and Russia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, of course, there is the gong show currently front and centre in the United States. Three days ago, Elon Musk and Donald Trump were the best of friends, patting each other on the back, extolling their mutual virtues. Trump even gave Musk a \u201ckey\u201d to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day later, they were at war; Musk called Trump\u2019s \u201cone big, beautiful bill,\u201d omnibus legislation dealing with Trump\u2019s agenda that will sharply increase the debt in the United States, as a \u201cpork filled, disgusting abomination.\u201d Then he dropped hints that suggested the Epstein files, containing the names of those involved in a major underage sex scandal, would not be released by the Trump Administration because Trump himself was on that list. Finally, he called for Trump\u2019s impeachment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump, on the other hand, has been more subdued but has said he believes Elon Musk has lost his mind, and he threatened to cancel his government contracts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw this sudden feud as so ludicrous that I wondered whether it was some kind of smokescreen to grab the front pages and cover up something else. After all, they are both showmen and both more than capable of subterfuge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I mentioned that to a good friend of mine who offered to bet me $20.00 that I was wrong. I declined the bet, but still\u2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line to me is that because of Donald Trump\u2019s authoritarian leadership, the uncertainty from one day to the next about where he stands on a given issue, and the pre-school antics of two of the most powerful men in the United States, we are looking at an erratic and somewhat dysfunctional administration immediately next door to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the circumstances and the reality under which Canada must deal with the Trump Administration. This should bother us very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot think of any Canadian Prime Minister who has had to face a game-changer as serious as the one we now face with the United States. Mark Carney has his job cut out for him in dealing successfully with such an unpredictable and chaotic adversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am conscious of comments directed at this writer, as well as other media, asking why we\u00a0continue to write about Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My answer to this is that as a demonstrated unstable, untruthful, power monger, Trump is potentially a clear threat to Canada and therefore we should watch him very carefully. He, and what he does, is very much our business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Trump doubled tariffs to 50% on aluminum and steel, which is a near-death threat to those industries in Canada. Prime Minister Mark McCarney declined to impose immediate retaliation on the United States, and many Canadians are wondering why.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negotiations, especially those at the level of the serious issues between Canada and the United States, cannot be held in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be then that the Carney government is on the cusp of a new and better deal between our country and the United States. If that is the case, it is understandable that the Prime Minister would not want to rock the boat. He will be safe for years to come if he can pull it off. However, without quick signs of success, Canadians will wonder if Mark Carney is capable of dealing with Donald Trump and is instead showing serious signs of weakness by not matching American tariffs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury is still out on that.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
