(still) sleeping next to an elephant

When Trudeau said that being a neighbour to the US was like sleeping next to an elephant he did not have the Republican party in mind. But, given that this isn't an essay and I use whatever quote I want, even if it's out of context, I thought it was apt. We are, as Canadians, still the neighbours of a country run by Republican elephants - stupid, jingoistic, misguided, hateful, manipulative, killing elephants. (I apologize to all the elephants reading this.)
