We did make threats in the 1950's. You chose to allow us to install radar stations instead of risking Ike ordering it done unilaterally. Canada kind of wanted them there anyway as part of NATO / NORAD.

Fantasyland -- just like Reagan's Star Wars.

Okay…and? The US was not under a fascist regime at the time and we had a common enemy in Russia. Maybe we should have assumed the worst about the US right then but, alas, here we are.

The US isn't your enemy, except as a temporary agent of Putin / Russia. I know that 1,238 days is a really long time in the political realm, but we beg for patience. D̶o̶n̶a̶l̶d̶ ̶t̶R̶U̶m̶p̶ Vladimir Putin is actually unpopular here.

Germany wasn't Poland's enemy either, until it was.

Germany's path was clear before September, 1939. It took him 6 years to get there from his acquisition of power. tRUmp may bluster a lot, but he has a lot of work to do before he can go around waging arbitrary wars.

I don't see that as a refutation of the current zeitgeist that he is pushing. His discussions of forcing Canada annexation through fiscal or "other" means is being taken very seriously by our government.

And I’ve got to go do other stuff, but I just want to say that “the US isn’t your enemy”is really fucking patronizing in the circumstances. Whether we should have or not, we looked at the US like a sibling and it betrayed us with malicious intent.I’d like to know what you think an enemy would do.

What is the process by which the US extricates itself from being a “temporary agent of Russia”, pray tell? What exactly do you think is going to happen in 1,238 days? A free and fair election?

Ascension of a sane person to the presidency. In 408 days we'll elect sanity to Congress which will hogtie tRUmp. If the crazies continue to run Congress, it'll be serious SNAFU.

And if he sends weapons-carrying military to voting stations in blue areas across the country? What if they are given directives to confront voters? There are a huge number of issues with the path forward that Trump is intentionally sabotaging. A fair election is doubtful.

I don’t even know how you’re going to come back from the security breaches. We may as well assume Russia has full access to anything Trump does. And Russia has plans for Canada quite apart from the US regardless. So, having a “sane” US regime is a great start but only goes so far.

Well, if I win the presidency, everyone hired after Jan 19 of this year are on probation and likely terminated. Classified systems would need to be redone top to bottom. Classified info prior to the new security regime would have to be considered compromised. And that's off the top of my head. :(

Best of luck, but I’ve got to tell you it’s not looking so good from here.

I'm with Captn here. A lot of people south of the border (north, if you're in Windsor) do not understand that we don't trust US institutions to protect against military aggression. I'm from the US. So I have both perspectives. #ElbowsUp

You are very naive if you actually believe that. Why do you think the Republicans are trying to redraw the maps? You won’t get a chance for a fair election if this isn’t stopped ASAP. And most of your population & politicians aren’t doing anything to stop it.
