An old Michel Rivard song has been on my mind lately. It speaks of the Québécois experience in North America. But I think we can all relate now.
"C'est pas toujours facile d'être seule au milieu
D'un continent immense où ils règlent le jeu,
Où ils mènent la danse, où ils sont si nombreux" #cdnpoli

It's a weirdly patriotic experience to go grocery shopping in Canada this week.
Just aisle after aisle of people angrily reading labels while occasionally exchanging knowing glances.

I'd throw a punch to fight for Canada's sovereignty while reserving and exercising my right to criticize this country. That's a fine form of patriotism.

Canada has a third of the world's freshwater, untold reserves of oil and natural gas, and millions of acres of uninhabited land that's increasingly liveable and farmable as the planet warms.
Nobody should take threats on our sovereignty lightly.
