Americans need to remember the Declaration of Independence and apply it. Canadians need to write their own and do the same.

Can we have open borders again, meaning no bloodydamned passports, after that? I miss those days.

Globalization is a resounding failure in full collapse and it has done a lot of damage to nation states, which may not be repairable without momentous political will. As long as neoliberalism prevails over governments democratic and constitutional reform are none starters.

No argument there. The question is, how do we make neoliberalism a discredited theory of the past?

That's is the great imponderable! Given the intransigence and utter stupidity of Western elites it looks like full collapse is headed our way.
