Donald Trump broke many presidential norms, including the preponderance of expertise in the formulation and implementation of u.s. foreign policy. While his predecessors have shown a relative distrust towards the national security apparatus's expertise, Trump has fully embraced his hostility towards these institutions and their experts. This article analyzes the three main consequences of this hostility : false loyalty-competence tension in the selection of advisors; prioritization of symbolic gains and underutilization of organizational resources that have jeopardized the implementation of foreign policy and the sustainability of instituted changes; and flawed crisis management (covid-19).

As a coda to Jean Barman's book, Bruce McIntyre Watson proposes extending her wider definitional embrace of French Canadians to include the early Scots in Canada, particularly those who descended from the eighteenth-century Jacobites who, in Scotland, had allied themselves with the French to provide a bulwark against English dominance. He also advances Jean's reasons for marginalization and subsequent amnesia of the early French-Canadian fact west of the Rockies squarely on literacy or lack thereof. Although memory of the French-Canadian fact was retained to some degree by First Nations' oral tradition, he proposes that the early French Canadian/canadien's failure to present a written record to establish a founding narrative became, for the wider community, an agent of amnesia rather than an instrument of memory.
