Just listened to this episode and I agree with most of what you said except for that Canadians are being “chill” about the annexation threats. I think we’re all feeling anxious and uncertain if not fully freaking out, but we tend reign that in a bit because we’re trusting that the U.S. is still a functioning democracy, and that congress force him to stay in his lane. That they’ll limit the extent of damage Trump can do. So far, the checks and balances he’s pushing against are pushing back. Judges are slapping down executive orders, states are fighting back. I think Canadians are in shock.. it feels like the petty and crass prank of a petulant bully. But I don’t think that we’re chill. We’re waiting to see what happens, to see who’s got our back, and we’re trusting that our government is preparing and doing everything they can to protect our sovereignty.
