Cautious

 Yves-Francois Blanchet, head of the Bloc in Ottawa, is cautious and True

Blue on the possibility of tariffs from the Trump Administration. 'Cutting off 

electricity to America... is a childish idea':

Couper l'électricité ou le pétrole aux Américains: une idée «farfelue», juge Blanchet

                                                *     *     *

Had a moment trying to find a useful translation for 'farfelue'...

With COPILOT:

                                                       


Maybe I should leave this to the pros:

                                                                   


Might 'wack' be the term am I looking for!?

On reflection, not, because 'farfelu' also means whimsical and 'wack' is too harsh!

                                                           *     *     *

So, this is going to be the challenge of commenting  in the Trump era: the context of

discussion is always changing...
