Charlie, I fully expect to remain unsafe from US law - despite living on Canadian soil as a Canadian citizen by birth and by choice and despite having no plans to visit the States - for the foreseeable future. You know about the annexation threats the Vulgarian's made in recent months.

If Carney remains PMoCanada after April 28th, we might stand a better chance of riding at least some of this bad craziness out. Ditto if either Singh or May gets the job.

I do not expect a lot of fellow Canadians to permit themselves to be handed over quietly in any case.

Just saying this much will draw unwanted attention to me, I'm sure.

As for Mr. Dickson's warning:

“Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage among his books. For to you kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned with the flick of a finger.”

Feel free to use it:

He said today that the tariffs would start on the 1st of February.

The day after the foreign election interference report is released by the federal government here in Canada, right?

The dispute between employer and workers isn't over. The workers did get ordered back to work, though, and if memory serves...the dispute has been sent to arbitration.

Subject to correction.
