I hope we are slowly winding down integration with them, ideally without them knowing

Once the dust settles, we'll see whom we deem trustworthy south of us

It's crazy we're able to do this.

Trump could have done surprise gunboat diplomacy in 2017, taken Canada and vassilised Europe. Nobody was prepared to resist it in any way, shape or form. Instead, he took a Western elite deeply conditioned to always mindlessly trust the US, and he spent a decade gradually reconditioning them to distrust him and buckle down for hostile actions.

I'm guessing if you're doing it for CSIS, you get some kind of waiver from a minister saying you can do certian illegal stuff, along with fake papers.
