  2. I find it very interesting to compare and contrast the responses of Canada and Mexico to Trump's bluster. The Mexican President serves a single seven-year term and is potentially very powerful; having very recently been elected, Presidenta Sheinbaum has strong support. In Canada the provincial and territorial premiers are relatively more powerful than US governors; it is no joke when the premiers of Ontario and Alberta say they are prepared to cut off exports to the US. I don't know, but suppose that like other previously British parliamentary democracies, Canadian governments can temporarily proceed by "orders in council" when there is not time to get matters through the standard legislative process, and clean things up later.

    “The Office of Management and Budget has rescinded its call for a pause on payments for federal grants and other programs, the White House announced on Wednesday. But the administration said that only the original memo calling for the freeze had been rescinded — not its effort to review federal spending.“
