I would hope that every Canadian who is concerned about the dynamic in the United States writes to their respective MPs to let them know that Canada must take seriously, over the long term, the push to build up our military capabilities.
My fear is that too many in this country still believe that Trump's departure from the political scene (no one lives forever) would somehow result in a return to "normalcy" in the United States.
That is folly. Canada needs to be able to stand on its own two feet, even in the face of genuine hostility, imperialist ambition and terrifying threats from the United States.
As for those who believe that clinging more closely to our NATO allies in the context of a full on pressure campaign from the United States, well, I would say that the best way to ensure our allies' support is to show them that we are very keen on helping ourselves.
Maybe Trump will live forever. Or almost forever. Like Noah. His tech bro friends will turn him transhuman. An AI Trump to guide American for the foreseeable future. Do you put it past Fox News to go along? Do you put it past the MAGA fools to believe it? We need to arm, and fast.
I agree with A Canuck that Trump's departure will not signal a return to normalcy There are well heeled backers and Project 2025 who will happily continue Trump's agenda.
But I think we need to start to build for an asymmetric style defense a la Ukraine or Iran.

AI Trump! A horrible idea, but plausible.

100% agree, MAGA now completely controls the Republican Party
The Prez is unhinged. That is clear.
