CANADA IS RIGHT TO STAND UP; BUT IT MUST LEARN TO ACT WITH STRATEGIC STEALTH!
By Professor Gilbert Morris

Seems unwise that Canada should telegraph its every move against US financial aggression.If Canada knows - for instance - that 6 million U.S. homes depend on Canadian energy…make the moves necessary to bring that to bear without telegraphing. Undertake surgical strategies to offset interdependencies, by whatever degree of stealth is possible.
One can’t win a narrative war.
Let Trump awaken to the consequences of his decisions by their actual impacts.
America’s apparent dominance - to speak in such terms - are really a network of teeming interdependencies through which it has been allowed to appear dominant singularly.
That is fragile.
And Canada has been complicit in sustaining American dominance; including choking Cuba to death illegally and financing the slaughter of 50,000 Palestinians.
It’s not enough to whine and claim victimhood. Canada must in its actions atone for its complicity as handmaiden to serial villainy: for instance, it should end the effectiveness of the Cuban embargo by leveraging its massive agricultural prowess in Cuba; solving their food production and distribution problems.
Such a strategy would not merely help the Cubans, but it would punch a hole in the embargo, whilst providing regional states - which have also been complicit - with alternative access to agriculture.
Things how one break those interdependent linkages, expose fragilities and system anomalies which are weaknesses appearing as strategy’s, by enacting counter-measures against key US industries, rather than against the U.S. itself…and beyond mere talk and showboating.
It strikes harder and more deeply and in that way, does so in a manner that’s difficult to incite revenge.
Small nations must master such methods!
