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

Never thought I'd ever say it, but I'm not terribly opposed to an independent Canadian nuclear deterrent these days.

I can think of no other workable solution if we're serious about remaining Canadian. The Ricans would steamroll us conventionally. Without a credible deterrent, Slobba the Slut could very well ramble himself incoherently from 'economic pressure' to 'occupational force.' We don't know what his puppetmasters and wormtongues are whispering in his ear, or how far he and his sycophants are willing to go for a cheaper egg.

Canada can easily manufacture nukes. We have all of the scientific and technical skills to pull it off. I hope we never need one of the damn things though.

That said if a dump invasion took place I’m sure we could count on France to give us one to decapitate the dump.

I would very much rather we err on the side of caution when it comes to our sovereignty and Trumps erratic, ego driven foreign policy.
