Trump’s threats to Canada are not idle boasts and shouldn’t be taken as such. They call for a whole of society response.

Never thought I'd ever say it, but I'm not terribly opposed to an independent Canadian nuclear deterrent these days.

I can think of no other workable solution if we're serious about remaining Canadian. The Ricans would steamroll us conventionally. Without a credible deterrent, Slobba the Slut could very well ramble himself incoherently from 'economic pressure' to 'occupational force.' We don't know what his puppetmasters and wormtongues are whispering in his ear, or how far he and his sycophants are willing to go for a cheaper egg.

Increasing domestic drone and munition (mortar shells, AT mines, grenades) production would be valuable too.

Indeed. Due to our proximity to the US, short/medium ranged arms would be ideal.

Maybe we can talk the French into give us a few TNA's 😉
