When the situation you find yourself in closely resembles the "Donetsk Playbook" you should be mindful of how that turned out. Perhaps try some early intervention. #Canada #Defence

This is the kind of story the Canadian government would normally go out of their way to shut down. Not now.These are trial balloons about prepping for US cyber threat and interference. "Hypothetical" scenarios about fighting an insurgency war. It's sending a message that we aren't fucking around.

One of the classic motifs of an abuser is to claim the other side is doing something bad, all the while doing it yourself. All of these people need to just go home. Separatism isn't going to win this round, either.

In Canada, our government facilitated the signing of a "Grocery Code of Conduct" where the major grocery chains agreed not to screw customers. Grocery prices still going up. AI CEOs agreed to self-regulate the development of AI. Nothing's going to change at all, including corporate behaviour.

I've been thinking for a while now that when American rhetoric starts referring to Canada as "communist" or "socialist democratic" (in the U.S. administration's propaganda, both are evil), then the cards are on the table. Let me know when getting worried about a takeover isn't "overreacting".
