Canada vows to fight against Trump threats

On A6 of today’s Globe & Mail, Marcus Gee, one of the top knobs at the Globe brain trust, throws down the gauntlet; “Thanks, Trump, for reminding Canadians why our county is worth fighting for.” Eight pages later, none other than the little guy from Shawinigan chimes in with a 3/4 page middle finger right in Trump’s face. We gotta get serious about Donald Trump’s outrageous threats! At 91 years of age, Jean Chretien has dusted off his Ross rifle and was last seen racing his mobility scooter in the general direction of the US embassy on Sussex street. He is “ready at the ramparts” to defend this great country from the evil designs of the brutal dictator, Donny J. It’s good to see Canadian thought leaders vowing to fight for us, at least till you realize they’re only fighting “metaphorically.” As in, not actually fighting at all. In terms of an actual real-world resistance, let’s get serious! Everybody knows we long ago surrendered our sovereignty. In the empirical world, ie the real one, we’ll fight Trump’s Anschluss the way Austria fought Hitler’s Anschluss… With cheering crowds!
