Amen, sister! There are more of us than there are of them. That's our power.

Despite the one MP who seems to want to do nothing but kiss Donald's arse, the rest of the Canadians need to tell their respective MP's to stand up to Trump and the U.S. for their own good. It will hurt in the short term but, divesting trade away from the U.S. and into other markets will only help in the long run. My advice to all of the other countries around the world that Trump sees as adversarial, give Trump the finger and find more lucrative and safer trade partners. There are quite a few that will extend the hand, so to speak, if asked. More and more countries are stepping back from doing business with the U.S. out of fear. This will only become worse as Trump becomes more belligerent.

I agree, Sam. Solidarity is the only way. As a Canadian...Maybe someone should tell Danielle Smith that?

It'd be nice if she got the message, yeah.

Maybe we should spam her with links to this essay...that might be a fun project.

Haha! She is too busy picking out her MAGA merchandise.

MCGA doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

Maybe a MAGA hat with a maple leaf? A maple syrup bottle with Trump's face on it? His hair already looks like he uses it as a pomade.

I just got my computer back after a week without one, am really stressed, and did not know where to start, but this is one of the best things that I have ever read! I agree entirely with everything you said! Unity is the only thing that will save us! Thank you for this post!

Thank you, Maria! I take this as very high praise, and I'm so glad that you got your computer back! I know it sucks to go without one, ugh.

For me, it was hell. I have no family. friends, no tv, no stereo, no fancy phone, so being without a computer was like being locked in a room for a week. I survived, I am tough!
