I fully support the RAC board's decision and wrote to the president and others and said so. Too many in the US either don't know what their duly-elected tyrant is doing or think it's a joke. Threatening your neighbors is not a joke.

RAC Will Not Attend Hamvention this Year - Radio Amateurs of Canada

At its meeting on March 27, 2025, the Board of Directors of Radio Amateurs of Canada voted unanimously to cancel RAC’s plans to operate a booth at Hamvention (Dayton) in Xenia, Ohio in May. Lors de sa réunion du 27 mars 2025, le Conseil d'administration de Radio Amateurs du Canada a voté à l'unanimité l'annulation du projet de RAC de tenir un kiosque à la “Hamvention” (Dayton) organisée en mai à Xenia, en Ohio.

Radio Amateurs of Canada - Welcome to the Radio Amateurs of Canada website!

My antenna did not come with any sort of adapter. I did buy one via eBay & it was about the same price as the antenna (~C$20). No extra tax/duty/etc this time either. Both pieces were direct to 🇨🇦 from 🇨🇳.
Amazon was about a week for the whip. The adapter came today after 12 days.

The adapter has M10 threads on both ends of the red cylinder; each end goes to a different part of the SO-239 socket. They are not marked that I can see but the DMM made short work of it.
