It’s blatant extortion now.

    According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they’re related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they’re being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they’re going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

      Well, that and also the fact that Canadians currently see the US as a severely indebted dumpster where the system is specifically designed to exploit and oppress its citizens for the profit of the few. And that was before we even take Trump into consideration.

      If they give in

      lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. If you want Washington burned down a second time, sure.
