PM Mark Carney and the people of Canada can look to the happiest country on the planet for a model: Finland.

The Finnish-Russia divorce occurred abruptly after the Bolshevik Revolution when Helsinki achieved independence, followed by the Winter War and the Continuation War.

Over the decades, the Finns have learned to live with a dangerous, toxic, and militarily strong bully sharing their 835-mile border.

Helsinki's economy is wired into the EU and every direction except towards Russia.

Nearly every member of Finnish society has a civil defense role or military reserve mission in the event of war with the Kremlin.

The US-Canadian divorce will be messy because of NORAD, NATO, the MLB, and the NBA, but is still doable.

Mark Carney, a PhD like Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, is the right man for this mission.

Good shot, Corky.
