Surely waiting for the US to return to normal IS a viable strategy. The rest of the world won’t let this madness go on for… decades.

Even the US itself, a country full of guns, won’t let this go on for much longer before there is either civil unrest or an assassination of some kind.

What is Canada expecting to do anyway by spending money on defence. They can’t protect the Canada-US border any more than Trump could build a wall across it if he tried. And Trump is already in extreme debt, what’s he even going to do to keep a hold of Canada - put it under martial law and treat it like Minnesota until the end of time, all the while haemorrhaging money?
