Canadians, and especially all English-speaking Canadians, have lived all their lives intermittently explaining to themselves why Canada should be an independent country and not part of the United States. Apart from the many abrasions of his public personality, the greatest grievance in Canada against U.S. President Donald Trump is that he explicitly stated the same question.
