Decoding the Restore the North Tour:
Symbolism, Strategy, and Stakes

This isn’t about geography. It’s about power — who holds it, who hoards it, and who’s trying to weaponize nostalgia to get it back. The North doesn’t need restoring. It needs reckoning.

Not a base, they say. Just a compound. Just a few jets. Just a few pilots. But let’s ask the obvious: Why is a foreign government funding infrastructure inside an American military installation?

Canadians are told our government is “monitoring the situation.”
Monitoring?
That’s what you do with a storm, not with citizens unlawfully detained by an army that acts with impunity.

Mark Carney can talk all he wants about “rules-based order,” but silence when Canadians are unlawfully detained is not diplomacy — it’s dereliction. You don’t “calibrate” when your citizens are sitting in a jail cell in a country accused of war crimes. You speak. You demand. You act.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
