Hopefully, Canadian leaders are wise enough to take the threats to Canada's sovereignty extremely seriously. It should be their number one priority. Just because the Dollar Menu aficionado in the White House says something that seems baffling on its surface doesn't mean we shouldn't be planning for the worst.

    Absolutely. It does seem as though the new Carney government is up to the task, but we do have an election coming so we shall see.

    That said, the Cons are not polling particularly good right now and it would be easy for the Liberals to form coalition with the NDP, Greens, and/or Bloc. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that those parties would cooperate with the US-aligned Cons under PP.
