Trump’s “National Defense Strategy” was released today. This is what it had to say about Canada: a not-so-veiled threat if we don’t toe the Trumpist line.

The gulf widens and every day the threats - both overt and covert - increase.

We can never trust the US to take Canada’s interests to heart in the slightest. I think Ottawa is coming to this realization, but I still fear that there are some Canadians who haven’t come to this conclusion. To them, this is a passing thing or is overblown by the media. They cannot conceive of our “best friends” as an adversary.

But they are.
