The anger is no longer aimed at one man alone. More Canadians are questioning the voters, the apathy and the silence that helped bring the Canada U.S. relationship here.

Funny how Canadian tourism to the US is not what it used to be

Canada can't fix it for you. The rest of the world can't fix it for you. And Canadians shouldn't be told we're overreacting simply because we're no longer willing to pretend everything is normal.

Point Roberts wants special treatment from Canada and a tariff exemption. But sovereignty means standing firm when our country is under attack.

This isn’t about replacing America with Europe. It’s about making sure Canada is never trapped by one relationship again.
