You seem to forget the part about "using economic force" to "annex or acquire Canada," @GinnyRothTO. Or the part about the "imaginary line" (ie border) based on "a fake treaty." Or the Oval Office maps showing Canada as part of the USA. Or the constant ridicule and denigration of our country and its sovereignty, and endless talk about making Canada the 51st state. The attacks on the honour of our Afghan War dead ("they stayed a little bit back, a little bit off the front lines.") Or our reliability as an ally ("they've never been there for us") after incurring some of the highest per capita casualties in defence of the United States in Afghanistan. Or the threats to invade a neighbouring NATO ally (ie Danish Greenland.) Or the threats to remove Canada from the Five Eyes, and the suspension of the Permanent Joint Defence Board. Or treating Canada like a greater security threat than North Korea, the Peoples Republic of China, or Putin's Russia. And now the stated goal of "changing Canada's behaviour." What behaviour? That of a reliable friend, ally, and major trading partner that actually respects its trade agreements? Yes, we have to approach all of this with a measure of prudence, restraint and patience. Yes, we should seek a modicum of certainty amidst the constant chaos and impulsiveness. But Canada is not a mere economic zone whose entire national purpose is the minimization of tariffs. We are not a punching bag. There is nothing "grown up" about ignoring or normalizing the constant provocations and betrayals. "lol GUYS," our entire history of sustaining a sovereign Canada next to a global super power has been an act of constant will, of which we should be immensely proud. Because thankfully, our forebears were animated by love of country, not by craven cynicism masquerading as hard headed realism.
