Setting aside the very real threat of military action from the United States in the short term, Canada also needs to prepare for the reality that they can no longer depend on the US for strategic defense in the long term either. If their national defense strategy depends on the American voters never electing a person like Trump again, they are in for some really unpleasant surprises.

    That has been fairly obvious for the past 11 months.
