Canada

Many don’t seem to. I have lots of family members who think the US will completely correct course at the midterm elections. A group of parents at my kids’ school were all standing around talking about whether they should travel to the US and how it probably isn’t really that bad. There seem to be a large number of people that want the security blanket of convincing themselves that this is totally normal

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.
