Tr*mp is now a convicted felon. It's time for Canadians to free ourselves from his misdeeds.
First, we need to get rid of his monstrous "New NAFTA". And tell our politicians, no more toadying to Tr*mp, if he makes it back to the White House.
It's official: Tr*mp is now a convicted felon, convicted many times over, for he has been found guilty on all 34 charges laid against him:

We can congratulate the State of New York, but this does nothing to rid Canada of his toxic legacy. Still, now is the best possible time for our politicians to start the process of Detr*mpification.
(1) Apologize for their cowardice and their complete abandonment of the Canadian people in their rush to appease Tr*mp.
(2) Amend the implementation of Tr*mp's toxic copyright extensions. Much can be done: to start with, by only extending the copyright terms by 20 years if the copyright holder makes an application for this. Very few will: these works are old, and have little or no commercial value. An easy way of getting most of these works where they belong: back in the public domain.
(3) Start the process of cancelling the "New NAFTA", which has caused endless trouble ever since Mulroney hatched it, trouble which continues today. Let's put it out of its misery.
(4) Set up a mechanism to ensure that our government never, ever again surrenders our country to a foreign despot like Tr*mp.
