I don't even know what title to give this one

Strikes presumably against Houthi terrorists but directed at Yemen's capital city. Military action to keep an important waterway open and unrestricted. Today the Red Sea. Tomorrow...Panama? Essentially he's declaring war without Congress's say-so. Apparently that's okay if the target is deemed a terrorist...and it's hunky-dory to conduct military action in a foreign country without that country's knowledge, despite Mexico's President's objection...if we can trust headlines to be telling the truth, which is another issue. It's hard enough having such a mess going on in the world without knowing whether we have accurate facts or not. The most important resource we have right now is an independent and unbiased media that reports the unvarnished facts instead of opinion. Except I'm not convinced we have that right now. There's too much emotion and too much at stake.

Meanwhile, there's a map floating around showing my area of Canada being subsumed by the U.S. According to headlines (which I don't trust, see above note), there is a handful of Canadians who are in agreement with becoming the "51st" you-know-what. That sort of talk is seditious. Do they realize they're promoting overthrowing our government? Because that's what it comes down to. This isn't an opinion poll, a video game, a pick-your-own-ending book, or a reality show, folks, it's a real threat of war. If you like the U.S. that much and want to be American, then by all means immigrate down there, and I wish you well. But the rest of us don't want to go, and it's immoral to sell us out.

So, the dilemma: If southern Ontario is one of the targets, do I sell everything and flee northward to join the resistance fighters (and the mosquitoes)? Do I look into sending my children and grandchildren to New Zealand, which has the advantage of being Far Away? Do I stay put and stock up on weapons? I do know one thing, right down to my density-lost bones: rolling over and capitulating is not an option. I don't care how difficult it gets. If it's me and my pitchfork standing alone in the middle of the Bluewater Bridge, so be it. But I know I won't be alone, judging by the fury being expressed by my neighbours, conservatives and liberals alike.
