I read a lot, talk a lot, and procrastinate A LOT. I am too laidback, but when poked, I will detonate. I like that my beliefs are fluid, but not my values. And, although I value my Canadian identity, I do feel a sense of responsibility to the world itself.

Tit for tat. I wonder if Putin will see it as a reasonable response. I guess Canadians are waging a kind of war (I called it tough love) against the US (withdrawal of consumer spending), and Trump can't actually fault our government for the grassroots response, although it is truly hurting them.

I agree. There is enough technology available to easily see ICE enter a neighborhood and to set off an alarm. ICE can't take people they can't find. They can't leave with people if the way is blocked, their tires are flat, or their windows are covered. Most neighborhoods know who is truly criminal.
