I'm wondering what everyone else thinks is in our future as Canadians?

Do we think Trump is going to be stupid enough to try to invade Canada or redraw border lines?

Will the trade war continue for years or will Trump wuss out like last time?

We we continue to buy US products after they've now screwed us a second time?

I know I'm in the camp that whatever happens, I'm planning on completely excluding the USA from my life as much as possible.

Canada needs to dedicate its 3.6% of our gdp on the military while we build more town infrastructure further northward to give ourselves more land to retreat to.

Best case scenario Ukraine gets all that surplus equipment and we have more people spread out across the country.

We don't need to go north. There's plenty of space in, say, western Ontario that's going unused.

in a way, Trump is actually succeeding in getting NATO member countries to reach the 2% GDP commitment for military spending... by scaring countries into arming themselves against the United States.

it's like convincing your friend to install an alarm system by threatening to rob them at gunpoint.
