    I wish I could just be a Canadian and worry about going to work and going to the doctor and normal risks and not whether I can even get care or if the country around me is going to collapse around me.

        My kid’s daycare is right beside the military base in Kingston. This base is within artillery range of Fort Drum. There is a 100% chance she gets shelled during the opening salvo.

        My wife and I have agreed upon a set of leading indicators to send my child to rural Cape Breton, and another set to send them to friends in Europe.

        I will die at the border of this great nation, but my child’s life is not mine to forfeit.

            Of course not.

            But I’ve got plans in case you do. And I need to watch for early warning signs because my child will be shelled in the opening salvo.

            Let’s revisit this in exactly 4 years. I don’t think there’s anything that could make that statement sound reasonable between now and then.
