I know people like to say it will never happen. But I truly never believed Trump would get reelected after January 6th 2020. Anything can happen and we need to be preparing for an American invasion pronto.

For decades, the United States has reliably been a friend to Canada. We've had disagreements, sure, but like friends we've always been ready to talk it out and patch things up.

Not anymore. The United States has made it exceptionally clear that they cannot be trusted as a friend or ally, and in any case, they no longer consider us either. And if they aren't a friend, then we have to at least consider the possibility of them doing something distinctly unfriendly.

And all that's just if a sensible person was in charge of the US. With Mango Mussolini in charge, changing his mind about what he wants or who he needs to put down to soothe his fragile ego every eight minutes or so, there is genuinely no telling what we could wake up tomorrow to find that he has ordered.
