I understand the reasons for your loyalty and admiration for the man, and it's obvious he had people who felt like you, so he got elected.
It is my view that someone in the public eye should conduct themselves in a respectful and civil manner to be a role model for his/her constituents. In this respect, the man failed. He was a laughing stock of every news services and comedy late night show of the world.
American people know precious little about Canada as it is, and there is hardly ever a Canadian news story covered on U.S. news programs, but that changed with this man.
If you ask any American person today what they think of when the name of Canada is mentioned, they will name this man's name. Not the way I like my Country to be portrayed.
