QOTD -- When You Lose Canada

 

"... When the leader of our closest neighbour, ally and trading partner says that he can destroy us with the stroke of a pen — and repeats his willingness to do so — it is more than just an expression of perceived superiority or hyperbole, it’s a real threat. To dismiss it as anything less would be irresponsible and naive. The question we must ask ourselves is whether we are going to act as a serious nation or not.  [snip]

"In this growing fog of rhetoric and posturing it is difficult to decipher the fine line between threat and attack. Faced with such ambiguity, we can either continue to wait and respond incrementally or we can act decisively. I submit we are under attack and more significantly, so too is the global system upon which our security and prosperity are based. In response we need to rapidly deploy all available instruments of national power with maximal effect. This may need to include otherwise previously unthinkable actions such as shutting off our oil and gas, electrical power and critical supplies, as well as the abandonment of historic diplomatic and military relationships and commitments. We must also convince our other allies — those kids on the sidelines of the schoolyard — that they too have a responsibility to act as they are at risk as much as we are..." -- Mark Norman, former vice chief of the Canadian defence staff, writing in Canada's National Post, on why "Canada's Relationship With The U.S. Can't Be Saved."  The catastrophic, lasting damage the moronic, bullying Malignant Loser is doing to ourselves and with our relationships with our international partners and allies is starting to take its toll.  You can't have a better friend, neighbor, or ally than Canada, with whom we have enjoyed the longest militarily undefended border in the world for hundreds of years.  Canadians have fought side- by- side with us throughout the last century +, including against fascism, terrorist organizations, and state terror agents (remember how brave Canadians saved Americans during the Iran hostage crisis?).  If you're not deeply ashamed by what the Malignant Fascist is doing in our name, we don't know what it would take. 

We elected in haste, now we can repent at leisure for decades to come.
