with bonus threat of increasing tariffs if any retaliation...

Charge US $30B per month for NORAD access. If Russia can strike Permean basin with nuclear ICBM then that can help their negotiations with ending war on Ukraine. Fund UBI based on NORAD fee.

Eliminate tariffs on China. Sanctions on Russia. US industry that says it will make long term expansion investments in US to cut off Canadian supplies, gets immediate China contracts in response. Or make comensurate "lease fee" for NORAD higher.

Fentanyl and immigration is complete BS. This is a declaration of war based on manufacturing a false "national emergency" pretext. Any response that doesn't treat it as a war declaration by US is pathethic weakness and politician/Canadian treason to their CIA masters.

Make the US beg to treat Canada much better than it was treated before these tariff declarations. USA collapse is necessary for Canada to prevail. Not begging to let Trump declare you a sufficient sycophantic bitch, which won't happen.

I'm afraid it may be worse than that. It seems like (a part of) the American capitalists that have decided that they aren't getting enough from American and allied workers, that they don't control enough of the power structure. They seem ready to throw away the compromise drawn with the people that prevented revolution after the Great Depression. I'm afraid the madman is just the front man of this effort and the effort will continue after he's gone, until a breaking point when we get to play the revolution roulette again.

Blackshirts and The Reds details it all. If you want to know what's happening here read it.

Its time for us Americans who know to organize and get ready to seize their modes of power.

And it's time for us as Canadians to help you organize and resist. Not just half assed responses and political standoffs, but real ones.
