TORONTO - Canadians are upset. At first, it was the threat, and then the reality, of tariffs. Now, US President Donald Trump's talk of Canada's forced annexation - no longer laughed off as a joke - has really angered a population better known for its politeness.
Canadians are rallying for their country and seeing a resurgence in nationalism, as Canada-US relations top the list of issues preoccupying residents, according to recent polls.
"Elbows up", a hockey term conveying readiness to fight, is the new rallying cry - emblazoned on clothing, headlining rallies and the title of a new podcast that dedicated its first episode to the practicalities of creating a civil defence corps.
