108 years ago today, Canadian soldiers took a military objective at #VimyRidge — one that was said to be impossible. People say that moment was the birth of their nation. I think: They're wrong.

Please keep in your hearts the sacrifices we've made on #vimyridge to keep world peace by putting our ancestors bodies in harm's way to defend order and true democracy across the world.

I hope we stand ready to make the ultimate sacrifice in face of threats both domestic and foreign against threats to the most egalitarian system of governance we've come up with to date. Being prepared for the bad scenarios and preparing for worst case scenarios is foundational in making the world a better place.

If you have a moment to review, please see our trials, tribulations, and ultimate success recorded at https://www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembrance/wars-and-conflicts/first-world-war/battle-of-vimy-ridge

It is quite a discordant echo, 1917 to 2025.

World War I 1914-1917: The British Empire (including Canada) and France defend in a horrible war of attrition against German Imperial forces.

April 6, 1917: Congress declares war on Germany after Americans are outraged when an intercepted communiqué between Germany and Mexico suggests Germany help Mexico retake American states lost decades earlier and Germany sinks American shipping.

April 9-12: Canada fights its first massive battle as a unified fighting force, 97,000 strong, at Vimy Ridge, and wins at supreme cost, 10,000 casualties.

…….

April 6 2025: After two months of increasingly authoritarian actions, wild tariff policy and threats to destroy or absorb the economies or nations of Panama, Greenland or Canada, President Trump’s advisors make it clear the world will face tariffs not seen in decades, the markets plunge in anticipation, world leaders scramble, and non citizens in the USA are targeted for detention and deportation.

April 9 2025 - The United States launches a trade war. Ending the era of multilateralism, trade and cooperation that Woodrow Wilson started when he brought the USA into World War I and FDR continued in World War II.

The USA Giveth and Taketh Away.
