I think Greenland or Panama more his style, not unlike that other fascist bully Mussolini invading Abyssinia during WW2.
Yep letโs keep in touch on travel plans.
Iโm supposed to be going to US over next 18 months, to visit someone there, wonโt be going on principle, I can see unrest there in the near future.
Donโt think theyโll invade Canada, remember heโs a huge bully, it would be one of the most stupid and profoundly traitorous acts ever.
If I can be of any help with info, pleased to help. By coincidence Iโm thinking of a long stay in Canada, not sure about emigrating, but perhaps a long stay, havenโt gone into the detail yet ( itโs a very big country ), very small country here, you may find it only slightly bigger than your garden๐
