  • Honestly, same. I already cancelled Florida and Arizona trips for later in the year and told friends in Phoenix that I’ll likely never be back. We’ll probably make plans to meet up elsewhere.

    This is the republican party now. And Trump may not even be the worst to come. We already see his goons waiting in the wings. Political whiplash is the new normal in the US, and i feel like we will see the division continue to exacerbate over the next few decades for them domestically until something gives.

    I hope we in Canada take this new reality seriously and prepare ourselves appropriately as we enter the 30’s.

  • What’s the over/under on Canada developing a nuclear deterrent?

    It would be interesting to see how that would poll amongst Canadians.

    If the threat of annexation is as serious as we are being led to believe (and I think it is), what realistic options do we have in terms of defending our sovereignty? Actuellement, all that stands in the way of Canada’s forced accension to statehood or, more likely; territorial vasalisation by an imperialist USA, is the short stroll to Ottawa.

    Obviously, developing nuclear weapons while signatory to non-proliferation treaties is a can of worms that I’d hate to see opened, and the mere acknowledgement and/or open development of such weapons could invite serious economic or even a military response.

    Is it even possible to develop a nuclear deterrent in secret? Does Canada have the savoir-faire? The technology, the materials, the delivery systems? Do we beg France and the UK to officially declare that they would respond to any armed aggression against Canada?

    Wtf do we do? What timeline is this?

    Sell our minerals to China in exchange for security guarantees? Fold and allow ourselves to be absorbed into the US?

    I can’t believe this is where we are. What an anxious time to be a Canadian.
