@EdwinG Trump says a lot of things and only does some of them, but you can't tell which ones are which. Assume the US is hostile, boo our anthem, buy Canadian, and keep a damn close eye on troop movements near the border.

@EdwinG

The only people I see talking about this anymore are Canadians.

I'll grant, I'm not part of the crowd that wanted to do this to begin with, but, still.

Trump's wagging the dog, here: all these things are distractions and ridiculous claims and statements of intent that he really has […]

@admin I won’t argue on the common threats you mentioned, which include also the Russian Federation.

But I do have to ask you a simple question: when did this whole thing start (as in a calendar date)?

We might have two different starting points.

@EdwinG While it breaks my heart to see the US so nonfunctional, it seems like the only thing we has done with TCF’s threats and tariffs, besides making things more expensive for everyone, is to unite the people of Canada even more strongly. And that’s a good thing right now. It means Canada […]
