This is What Happens

When You Stick Your Neck Out

Author’s Note

I wrote this 4 years ago, like a canary in the coal mine, when Putin parked his tanks on the Ukraine border. We all held our breath and tongues, hoping/believing he’d back down. I’d like to share my worry that war is revving up right here in River City at Canada’s northern border (with Alaska). Trump’s doubling down, says he’s taking Greenland. Needs it.

While he shops for countries… we begin to uncharacteristically fly the Maple Leaf, buy Canadian, staycation, and live like fascism isn’t right on our doorstep.

I worry. I do.

Is it just me?

How about you?
