Dear Justin, Tom and a Conservative player to be named later:

Up here in the clouds above Canuckistan and Trumpland, jetting south on a plane, we cannot help but think of you.

A few days ago, you see, my wife Lisa and daughter Emma travelled to Washington, D.C. with several hundred other Canadian women to protest the day-old Trump regime. More than a million people showed up, mainly women. Their principal focus was women's rights, but other issues came up, too.

In Toronto, where I marched with more than 60,000 people, it was much the same. There was a truly joyous, family friendly atmosphere to it all, and it felt wonderful to be there. The NDP and various union leaders tried to seize control of the day's events at the start, but we didn't let them. (More on that shortly.)

Where are our leaders?

In both cities -- and at Women's March events that took place around the world, involving millions -- one question could be heard, over and over:

Where are our leaders?

In Canada, the strategy of the Liberal and Conservative parties seems to be identical. That is, be very, very small. Be almost invisible. And, in that way, Donald Trump -- the Unpresident -- will not notice us, and he will hopefully leave us alone.

Now, sure, a couple Conservative Party leadership candidates are aping Trump, and saying awful things about refugees and immigrants and people who do not look/sound/pray like them. But, overwhelmingly, most decent Liberal and Conservative politicians are appalled by Trump. They are disgusted and shocked. In private, they will certainly tell you that.

But in public? They say, and have said, precisely nothing. They are invisible.
