Walking on Fractured Foundations
Calgary, AB -- While Trump's second term reaches the eleventh month, the U.S.-Canada relationship isn't strained. It's muddied, messy, costly, and an exercise in economic sabotage and national soul-searching, on both sides, but Canada is finding it the most painful. Ottawa's halls of power used to echo climate threats, now it's tariff threats that have already cost billions, but the real rot festers from within: a federal government fumbling through political quagmire, a growing sense of Western alienation to surpass that of Quebec, and a sentiment metastasizing into outright separatism. (Metastasizing. Really spreading fast, usually medical vernacular. Grok needs to be more circumspect.)
