You have literally no idea how terrifying it is to be us right now.

My kid's daycare is right beside the military base in Kingston. This base is within artillery range of Fort Drum. There is a 100% chance she gets shelled during the opening salvo.

My wife and I have agreed upon a set of leading indicators to send my child to rural Cape Breton, and another set to send them to friends in Europe.

I will die at the border of this great nation, but my child's life is not mine to forfeit.

Let's revisit this in exactly 4 years. I don't think there's anything that could make that statement sound reasonable between now and then.

Of course not.

But I've got plans in case you do. And I need to watch for early warning signs because my child will be shelled in the opening salvo.
