So You Want to Fight Canada?

September 5, 2026/in Substack

Canadians can be extraordinarily gracious. But behind the courtesy is a country with formidable national pride, military history and strategic importance. Geography, history, economics and national security all point to the same conclusion: antagonizing Canada is not a display of American strength. It is an exercise in strategic stupidity. It is difficult to impossible to […]

September 4, 2026/in Substack

Renaming a Great Lake by executive order may change a label on some American maps. It cannot change history, geography, or the diplomatic damage caused by turning a place name into a political taunt.
