Sobre IBD

When Robbie Burns wrote in 1786: 'To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us,' he could not have foreseen Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. This book is a record of what Trump’s America looked like to at least one foreign observer during what may turn out to be the most formative year (2025-26) in the nation’s history since 1945. Chronicling Trump’s approach to immigration, health, the environment, freedom of speech, religion, and foreign policy, these pages highlight a country in crisis from the perspective of their cringing neighbours to the north. Written by a retired Canadian professor with ties on either side of the border, Watching Trump from Afar draws from decades of research on the Soviet Union and Russia, drawing unsettling links between Putin’s Russia and Trump’s America. By detailing the impact this burgeoning authoritarianism has on Canada, and on the United States, the author provides a cautionary tale for citizens on both sides of what was once, but is no longer, touted as the 'longest undefended border' in the world.
