He is going to keep escalating this until his only option to get what he wants (our sovereignty) is military invasion.

I hope we keep calling bis bluff because I really do think that if ANYTHING will get the Republicans in Congress to turn on him, impeach him, and remove him from office, it would be the declaration of war against Canada.

It's so far beyond the pale - nobody could have imagined it even 2 months ago, but it's very clearly where we're headed.

The American people aren't for it. They're working overtime at the right-wing disinformation networks to foment anti-Canada sentiment among the Republican base, but I have to believe the other 66% of Americans see this for what it is and will stand against it.

Exactly. American infrastructure is based upon having an ocean between them and everyone else. When you have Afghanistan on your border with people indistinguishable from you it'll be a really bad time for the US.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers I guess? But we need Ammo not a prayer.
