Canada needs to be more aggressive in its responses to Trump's belligerence. Among many other things, we should be doing these immediately:
1. Send Canadian troops to take part in defensive exercises in Greenland. This was a no-brainer, and the fact that Carney didn't instantly jump on it is a black mark for Canada's history.
2. Axe - don't delay, completely cancel - the F-35 fighter deal. If there's a way to (legally - we're not Trump) get out of the current obligation of another squadron of them, do it.
3. Sign the Gripen deal.
4. Start hurting US businesses, more than we have been. Buying less of their booze is one thing, but we should be doing things like closing Canadian airspace to American-owned carriers. No more great-circle routes to Europe from most of the USA. Look for other opportunities to cause economic pain. Trump doesn't give a damn; nothing will stop him from doing whatever he wants. We - and the rest of the world - have to motivate the US public, its business leaders, and its legislative branch to remove him, and anyone that comes after him that tries to walk the same path.
