Trump’s threats to Canada are not idle boasts and shouldn’t be taken as such. They call for a whole of society response.

    The US is very unlikely to launch a physical invasion. It would be extremely foolish

    It would be extremely foolish to avoid preparing to defend yourselves based on expecting this administration to avoid foolishness.

      I never said we should avoid it.

      Canada should 100% be securing its borders, arms, and making new allies. Joint military cooperation with the EU would be a huge boon, as would civil defence measures. Finland is a great example of how to prepare when living next to a hostile power.
