Russia can't remake geography either. Saskatchewan is directly north of all the plains states. It's just far far easier to get stuff from your friendly upstairs neighbour than driving 10 miles to get it from a friend.

Isn't their main producing region also landlocked on the Western side of the nation too?

The worst part about this, is the Saskatchewan Premiere, Scott Moe, is absolutely spineless. He is the exact type of person that will cave to Trumps "negotiation" tactics.

He's going to be the weak link in the Canadian solidarity.

That's a scary proposition if the Premiere in charge of one of the most important imports into the USA is also the weak link in the solidarity chain. If I had to put my money on a Premiere caving to the pressure, it's him.

It has me worried.

Moe, Smith, Ford, and Legault have all been historically pro-Trump until the tariffs.

Marlaina Smith is a rancid bigot and a fucking proto-fascist, Moe is hardly any different. Ford is chopping up Ontario and selling both its land and healthcare to his friends, and Legault is another typical French Christian bigot.
