    Carney is the first world leader I’ve heard actually talking like he is preparing for war, at least economic war and probably more. And he should be. I’m not sure I fully see it in his actions, yet… but I acknowledge he has to walk a careful line with Trump’s reactionary behavior, and I have some hope that what we see publicly on the surface is only a faint reflection of what is actually going on underneath, and behind the scenes.

    The ties we have relied on between countries around the world are being severed at exactly the moment when we all need to hold tightly together in a united defensive front. If those ties are not being urgently and securely re-fastened fast enough publicly, I sure hope they’re being massively tightened and reinforced in secret, because we’re all going to need every ounce of mutual strength against what’s coming.

      He’s not doing the important actions that would be preparing. He is pre-preparing maybe with talk. Still F35s, still NORAD for free, 5 eyes and other military coordination.
