Creating a rift and tensions appears to be what MAGA wants. I know there are many in the US who do not want this.

Ok, but the Americans who dont want this need to do something about it. Canadians are reacting rationally to US actions. Whether that makes MAGAts happy or sad is irrelevant. Canada needs to do what is best for Canadians, and refusing to accomodate bullying behaviour is the least worst choice.

That's a very interesting statement. Canadians have historically been quite supportive of Americans who go overseas and attack "threatening" nations, why would their support stop at the US itself when Americans clearly need their help?
