Question: Is Canada ready...?
Ans: No.  And I sympathize.  Who could have predicted?   Playing "catch-up" is legitimate, too, because "twitter" means events move much faster than ever before. 

Canada will probably meet this challenge...but there's going to be (1) fear (2) screaming and shouting (3) confusion and possibly, (4) relief in eventually "meeting the challenge."  Because, eventually, this crisis, too, will pass, likely with the passing of the most bombastic/agenda-driven US President since James Polk and the most divisive Pres. ever. (No, Lincoln doesn't qualify; he wasn't the cause of the Civil War. Many Americans accepted Polk's Manifest Destiny as America's..well, destiny. Half the population didn't know what was happening and many didn't care.  Not today!  Everybody "knows" everything, and, even better, has the ability to tell almost everybody in the western world what they think.  Back in the 1840s, telling "everybody" was limited to family and friends.
