If the UK hadn’t done Brexshit, there probably could have been a way to add Canada to the EU as an associated member, like Norway, Switzerland, etc…

could we ask the UK and rest of Commonwealth to help us out if things get too bad?

The UK need not have entered the last conflict against aggressive fascists when and how she did, but did so as much out of a sense of obligation to one’s friends and the moral right as anything. When conflict loomed, the UK made a defensive pact with Poland, when she could have easily just sat back and watched.

The same is true of Canada. We are no longer an empire, no longer a large and powerful nation, but if and when the US eventually takes direct aggressive military action, the UK, backed by the Allies of the new Millennium in Europe and beyond, will come to Canada’s aid.

To do any less would be to side with the fascists.

Thinking of the USA’s current lying, deceitful leader, and their increasingly aggressive moves, I’m once again reminded of Chamberlain’s address to the nation…

We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany’s ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage.

As such a moment as this the assurances of support that we have received from the Empire are a source of profound encouragement to us.

…Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. And against them I am certain that the right will prevail.

And if you’ll forgive me a little more quoting of particularly famous speeches, this line about the new world comes to mind also…

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Even if one of us falls, the others will step forth to their rescue and liberation. Freedom from fascism is a universal right, and we will enforce it until we no longer can ♥️
