Dear Sphereans,
Unfortunately, and to my great sadness and horror, I believe Rick Mullin is 100% correct in his assessment (posts 8 & 10 above).
I believed, as a proud Canadian citizen for over fifty years, living on my peaceful perch in the "true North strong and free" that I, my children, and my grandchildren would be forever immune from anything more than the usual nastiness at US Customs border crossings (when they routinely ask me why, oh why in the world I prefer to live in Canada; or most recently (2024) What are you doing living up there, girl?).
But not anymore. Hopefully the cancer that is rotting away the United States will not metasticize. Canada is part of the Commonwealth and part of NATO. We will NEVER become the "cherished 51st state."
As Rick points out, things will not only be nasty, they will be exponentially more horrendous than they are at present. It will be civil war, IMHO.
It is all well and good to join resistance-type organizations, but, sadly, it will take brute force to counter brute force. Most Americans are not even aware of some things that are taking place as I type this message. They are too busy listening to Fox or glued to their phones watching TikTok influencers.
I'm sorry not to be more optimistic. But as Michael says, every day there is another (or more than one) outrageous, despicable, illegal act coming out of Washington D.C. Can things "turn around" in 2026? Too late, my friends, too late.
Love and peace from Uruguay (where I just might take up permanent residence),
Cathy
