I think the American attitude to Canada is not unlike the Russian attitude toward Ukraine in the run-up to the invasion. These guys are barely a real country, so why would they put up a fight to protect their independence? I think we need to show Trump and the Americans that we aren't going to tolerate annexation any more than the US would let China eat it.

Protest frankly often fails to achieve anything, but I think protests can succeed if people are sympathetic to your cause but don't really know it exists. Americans right now seem only dimly aware of how serious things are in Canada. If our political parties united to lead giant anti-annexation rallies, if every Tesla dealership was blocked with a human chain, Americans might wake up to the fact that they behaving dishonourably and making a new enemy for no reason.

I have to say, Dan, among all the commentary, assessment, fawning or bluster over the current state of US/Canadian affairs, yours is the voice that is the most reasoned, the most informed, and rings most true. Please keep going.
