      I expect the relations will keep degrading. The US has a huge amount of leverage over Europe because they’re hysterical about Russia invading them. However, Canada doesn’t really have any credible threat aside from the US itself. As US policies continue to become more hostile and extractive, it’s necessarily going to drive negative opinion of the US here. Travel to the states has already been dropping significantly, people are avoiding US products in the stores, and there’s even talk of having domestic industry again.

    The officers have trained long and hard to sit with attentive expressions during the speeches. Thousands of power point presentations will do that.

    It cultivates a professional mask. Who knows what they are actually thinking: last night’s argument with the wife? A grocery list? How to help establish a true Aryan state? Imagining shooting the administration? How to plot a coup? How to help with counter coups? Admiration for Trump? Trying to not look nauseated?

    A very mixed lot.
