Tania: Did you see the news today? Canada has been doing military exercises near the Canada-U.S. border. I think they’re trying to send us a message.
Emilio: They’re just saber-rattling. They think we’re amassing weapons near the border and they’re posturing.
Tania: I don’t think they’re just posturing.
Emilio: Canada is no real threat. No one in the government wants to bear the responsibility of violating Canada’s treaty with us.
Tania: How can you say that? All of this military aggression makes me nervous. If Canada decides to attack, we would have no choice but to retaliate. Things could escalate very quickly.
Emilio: That’s why I’m well prepared.
Tania: Well prepared? How?
Emilio: Haven’t you seen me building my underground bunker? I’ll be safe there if Canada, or anyone else, strikes.
Tania: An underground bunker?
Emilio: Yes, and if you ask nicely, I’ll save a place for you.
