Based on what is happening in Minneapolis, my guess is that the folks at Policy Horizons—if they aren’t too busy running competitions to see which among them will be laid off—have shifted the US civil war disruption box hard to the right on the likelihood axis. Indeed, Trump has pushed a number of the group’s identified disruptions further to the right than anyone would have been expected to predict back in the relatively quiet year of 2024. Interestingly, Canada’s national unity unravelling is seen as a higher-likelihood, lower-impact geopolitical event than a civil war in the US. Given the way things are shaping up in Alberta and Quebec, this is another nevertheless high-impact geopolitical disruption that would appear to have shifted to the right. Where this goes from here depends almost entirely on whether the rule of law continues to be torn asunder by the Trump administration. As the rule of law goes, so too does any form of stability in the country, unless we expect the people to succumb to totalitarianism. After watching the events in Minneapolis over the last week, I don’t think that will happen quietly. Canada’s readiness to face multiple of these disruptions simultaneously must become a national priority. Some version of American civil war is more than an issue for the Department of National Defence to plan for. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s federal policing program must wrap its mind around the possibility also. Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness will become a critical government file in 2026, requiring intensive collaboration across all orders of government and all of society to get right.

Looks like they aren’t equipped with tear gas, flash bangs.

Why do they suddenly grow a spine when they’re not running for office again. Very sad.
