True - although oddly the author seems to frame this as something our federal leadership understands but that ‘everyday Canadians’ don’t … and yet it seems to me to be the exact opposite.

If the feds really understood the threat — or perhaps more accurately, if they cared about the threat; as long as capital’s interests aren’t threatened, it seems they aren’t too bothered — then they wouldn’t be cheering on the attacks on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro, or deflecting the ridiculous fentanyl accusations by saying “nah it’s actually Mexico’s fault”, or staying near-silent about the blockade of Cuba. Instead, they would be standing up to the US alongside those countries.
