Reading tonight a little bit on the hunters lodges popular in the 1830s in the u.s. Seems to be commonalities the situation in Canada and the United States today. Hunters lodges were aimed to liberate Canadian colonies from tyranny of British thralldom. Counted on support from borderlanders. Military generals of the time complained they couldn't do anything because so many officers favored the cause of the hunters lodges. Reasons Americans join these lodges we're in part due to an idealistic belief in Canadian independence. They lost, but they were a kind of freedom fanatic of the time.
What's interesting to me is that protest in Canada were partly funded by people from the United States. Protest seem to be again about liberating Canadians from tyrannical thralldom. And at first at least the regular police didn't want to deal with them and seemed to be sympathetic.
JMG noted commonwealth countries that didn't reject British rule are going through a kind of hard tyrannical push by their governments currently.
The sentiment in the US that Canadians could be free from tyranny is potentially a useful tool here.
