with bonus threat of increasing tariffs if any retaliation...

Charge US $30B per month for NORAD access. If Russia can strike Permean basin with nuclear ICBM then that can help their negotiations with ending war on Ukraine. Fund UBI based on NORAD fee.

Eliminate tariffs on China. Sanctions on Russia. US industry that says it will make long term expansion investments in US to cut off Canadian supplies, gets immediate China contracts in response. Or make comensurate "lease fee" for NORAD higher.

Fentanyl and immigration is complete BS. This is a declaration of war based on manufacturing a false "national emergency" pretext. Any response that doesn't treat it as a war declaration by US is pathethic weakness and politician/Canadian treason to their CIA masters.

Make the US beg to treat Canada much better than it was treated before these tariff declarations. USA collapse is necessary for Canada to prevail. Not begging to let Trump declare you a sufficient sycophantic bitch, which won't happen.

does article 5 count for economic stuff?

Canada has some goodwill why not call in some favours?

If it sounds like I have no idea what I'm talking about that is because I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'd love to learn more! I'm curious what my country is going to do when its neighbour starts bullying us/everyone. Why not team up with mexico and start making some unusual alliances?

article 5 of NATO is not as scary as it sounds. It only requires having a meeting. Inter NATO disputes (Greece and Turkey) have previously been ruled as not even requiring a meeting.

Why not team up with mexico and start making some unusual alliances?

Mexico certainly produces the food that Canada can't and can be substituted from US suppliers. There is the issue of whether it can be transported by land to Canada. The necessary "unusual" alliances are with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea.
