Rooting tooth

Yes completely. Shout out to the boy I was in love with from Birmingham who I met in Prague in 2003 who got me onto them before they came to North America

and bent a corporation to my whim

tried to be delivered but we weren’t home! So sad! Go pick it up!

Which, like, frustrating, yes, but also A LIE. And I don’t complain often but it is a skill I have. Such that I was able to get my package “redelivered” in less than 90 minutes. And I didn’t yell or swear or act abusive (obv)

Then! Half an hour before the window closes (and literally every other delivery has been on time, so accurate, never ever an issue. Also the same two drivers, for YEARS), so not a time where I was even thinking it was late, just hanging out, I get an sms that actually, it

Increasing climate change? Wow, there’s a lot of water and gas up north. They’ve been annoying and probably should just come on board.

The international community reall didn’t like that early 2025 floating if threats to Canada. Ok, roll it back, but hey now we’re talking about how difficult Canada is, more openly. Couple years of that, some successes in land invasion in North and Central America, an election they don’t want and

Within 100km of an American border. We wouldn’t have a chance. But! Since we have such “good” trade, why would America need to roll up and over? Well, you don’t need to. But if trade was harder and you were a megalomaniac, that’s an easy place to find Lebesraum.

Because it is CURRENTLY too much work for the States to change that. We have a quarter of the world’s fresh water and the world’s longest “undefended” border. There are about as many people in all of Canada as there are in California and something like 90% of our population lives

Trump’s wilding out about Canada in the first few months of this year is part of the Overton window adjustment to make discussing dissolving Canada as a sovereign state. I’ve held out for years — since before 9/11 when I was just an annoying news obsessed teen — that Canada remains its own country

Ok.
Let’s start a thread of my unhinged ‘predictions’ based on a childhood of hyperfixation on resistances movements and current events.
