" Elbows up" the hockey term for protecting yourself from an aggressive opponent has become Canada 's rallying cry.

"We've been shown too much disrespect by the Trump administration at this point," declared Canada 's foreign minister Melanie Joly .

Trump reportedly told Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau that he doesn't consider the 1908 treaty demarcating the border between the two countries valid.

Trump also threatened to eject Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, tearing up the Great Lakes agreements, and "reviewing" military cooperation.

Trump 's sledgehammer diplomacy may be self-defeating, but his territorial paranoia isn't entirely divorced from reality.

Trump expressed sympathy for Putin 's fears about NATO expansion: " Russia has somebody right on their doorstep" Polling suggests Americans aren't exactly enthusiastic about their president's imperial projects.

Canada 's transformation from polite neighbor to unified resistance has been remarkable.
