I'm the first to admit that these thoughts all sounds really extreme, but they are all pretty minimal minimal rational reactions to actual news items

Yes, it sounds really extreme.


I have already travelled to Canada and back several times; without any issue; and 10,000s of others are doing the same every day. For those of us with valid immigration status the current situation is no different from the past X (10s for me) years.

I would put the chances of a US take over of Canada at the closest possible value to 0 that I can, it is much higher than it was before the election, but that is because of a divide by zero issue; not because the risk is worth worrying about.

Also, I have family in Canada; and even read news from the CBC, so I am not entirely in the bubble, but I think most of this is under the "hurt feelings" vs. a meaningful impact on day to day living.

BTW: My feelings are hurt a bit.
