Canada unfairly, being totally taken advantage of, defends the USA from missiles and aircraft attack through Arctic, with its early warning RADAR system, possible secret missile bases, and expensive substandard F35 purchases and other aircraft donations.

When US declares a fake “national emergency” to break its trade agreements, it is an act of war. “There is nothing Canada/Mexico can do to address the fake national emergency, and the small trade imbalance is unfair, and we can use economic extortion to take Canada’s sovereignty” is a rulership intent on war.

Canada needs to remove US military alliance today. It needs to stop following US propaganda to demonize the adversaries the US tells us to believe are Canada’s adversaries. Normal humanist peaceful relations with Russia means Russia is no threat to Canada, and NORAD only serves US empire’s global extortion with “veil of immunity”. Whenever immunity from blowback is shown to be a false shield, then history starts on that day and “they only hate us for our freedom” is propagandized.

Official preparations for better trade with China and Mexico need to be started today. Leadership visits to those countries needed today. If EU wants to help instead of cowering in fear, they need to send their leaders to visit Canada.

Both Canada and EU need to take stance that US must pay significantly more for NATO’s assistance in projecting US empire, instead of tolerating the BS that they are the ones that must pay 150% more for privilege of US diminishing them all, as the US has done with Ukraine war.

    What they need to do is prioritize artic shipping rather than staying dependent on land exports from America.

    Most of what is imported to Canada via the US was made elsewhere and US is just a middle man.

      Oh, I’m sure that our country, and many of the businesses we have, will adapt in ways that shield us from having to rely on such an unstable neighbour.

      We’ll come out so much better for this, and they’ll be left isolated from the world as some backstabbing, unreliable, petty nation… much like their leader.

          But it’s not

          Dude, we aren’t even at day 1 with these tariffs… we’ll adapt. We have to, because our relationship with the US has forever changed because of this.

            You’re talking about actions of oligarchs to protect their own wealth.

            I’m talking about actions of your government to protect it’s citizens.

            Two completely different things.
