Comment on the whole: If only Canadians put as much effort into pressuring their own Government to deal with a stealthy yet destructive effort to compromise the country’s institutions and security by a silent adversary.

Correct - that is why I said they never had a Sir Guy Carlton but there is still fault line in the US, not national but a regional one in the areas that I mentioned.
There are more Latino speakers in the US than the entire population of Canada and that trend will continue. Sooner or later it will reach a tipping point….

Frankly it’s people with attitudes like yours that have lead us to this point. Your ignorance is on display. The premise of the things I listed should be important, valued, and protected all the time… not as tools of convenience.

Now he's even got the ketchup guys mad at him 
A ketchup giant is seeing red after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau brought up its past exit from Canada while discussing a potential Canada-U.S. trade war.
Speaking with reporters after a Wednesday meeting with the premiers, Trudeau urged consumers to seek out Canadian-made products to avoid U.S. imports that could soon be more costly because of retaliatory tariffs.
"That's why we will look, as we have in the past, at things that have replacements for Canadian consumers that wouldn't be tariffed," Trudeau said. "The example from last time was Heinz's ketchup being replaced by French's ketchup because French's was still using Canadian tomatoes in its ketchup."

Food giant says it is proud that its ketchup is 'made in Canada, by Canadians, using Canadian tomatoes'

They did at one time shut down their Canadian operations, which is why French's makes the "made from Canadian mustard/tomatoes" prominent on their labels.Now he's even got the ketchup guys mad at him

Fuck Heinz, they backed out until their competitor made them look silly. I still buy French's mustard and ketchup.

Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet) bought Heinz Canada(Leamington) in 2013. Shut it down in 2014. It reopened some months later under Highbury Canco and resumed production. They produce 200+ Heinz products based on an agreement renegotiated every 5 years.
Both trudeau and Heinz are telling truth without telling the truth.

Ask Albertans and it's got nothing to do with Trump. Sometimes you can only kick a dog so many times before it bites and runs away. Don't let your immense dislike for Trump blind you to reality.

Our national gas lighting internationalist man baby's legacy:
Lorne Gunter: Trudeau policies undermine Canada's ability to endure threatened Trump tariffs
Of course, U.S. President Donald Trump is a bully who’s trying to take advantage of our weaknesses. But who made us so weak and vulnerable in the first place? The Trudeau LiberalsRemember when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there was “no business case” for building a pipeline, refinery and marine terminal to take Canadian LNG (liquefied natural gas) to Germany? And later he said the same about LNG to Japan?
Imagine if Canada had two LNG ports now, one on the East Coast to take gas to Europe and another on the West Coast to take more to Asian markets. The pain of any U.S. tariffs would be lessened.
And imagine if Trudeau hadn’t killed two oil pipelines — Northern Gateway and Energy East. Those could have taken Alberta oil to markets other than the U.S. If those pipelines already existed, then if Trump decides to make our oil so expense U.S. refineries don’t want to buy it, Canada would already have options.
And if Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault, the high priest of Trudeau’s eco-cult, hadn’t banned tankers full of Alberta oil from sailing off the West Coast, and hadn’t killed more than $300 billion in new convention oil and oilsands developments, perhaps we’d have more international markets and thus more flexibility in dealing with the Americans.
But because Trudeau, Guilbeault and the rest of the Liberals have done all they could in the past decade to sacrifice Canada’s energy industry on the altar of environmental extremism, 97 per cent of our oil exports now go to the U.S. So (no pun intended), Trump has us over a barrel. We have few good options to shelter Canada’s economy and standard of living from punitive American sanctions.
Of course, U.S. President Donald Trump is a bully who’s trying to take advantage of our weaknesses. But who made us so weak and vulnerable in the first place?
In addition to making us wholly dependent on American energy markets, their regulations, taxes and policies have lowered Canadian productivity drastically. They have slowed our economic growth until it is practically nonexistent.
Inflation, caused by their overspending, has made the cost of necessities soar and badly damaged our standard of living. Their insane immigration policies have lowered our per capital GDP for nearly three years in a row, while at the same time spiking housing prices and overburdening our health-care system.
And their signature policy — the carbon tax — has simply made life more expensive while doing little or nothing to reduce emissions.
Now, after all this Liberal-caused devastation, what is Trudeau’s response to Trump’s threat of 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian goods? Buy French’s ketchup! French’s is made with Ontario tomatoes. Heinz uses American ones.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trudeau actually cited the French’s ketchup alternative as an example of how Canadians might combat Trump’s tariffs. “Having Canadian consumers have alternatives to having to spend tariffs on American imports is part of how we make sure Canadians don’t bear undue costs around tariffs.”

Not sure if I'd say settled.
Well aware of Albertans grievances. If Albertans want to separate and join the US as Puerto Rico North there is a process they can follow to do so. That doesn’t mean the rest of us have to follow or enable that COA.
Don’t let your immense love for trump blind yours either.

The danger being the foreign interference/influence becoming irreversible before enough Canadians feel it in their wallet…
sad but true
