So, here's my defense plan for Canada. Basic philosophy: it is unsafe to wait for an attack.

1. Get public confirmation from NATO that Article 5 applies even if the aggressor is also a NATO member.
2. Send an ultimatum to Washington demanding a public acknowledgement of Canadian sovereignty by the President and confirmation of non-aggression.
3. In the absence of that acknowledgement, sever diplomatic ties, close the borders, and embargo trade. Blow bridges, tear up roads and rail lines.

oh, interesting. It's only been a couple of weeks I've been playing around wth either - would this have happened between the instances even if it was before I had an account?

These are the fascinating little bits of integration that always leave me wishing I had a deeper understanding of code and protocol.

To clarify, private circles (which all circles are by default) do not federate, and shared circles currently don't either (though the circle feed and member list can be viewed by people who aren't a user of your instance if shared publically). We're looking at Mastodon's draft proposal (starter packs FEP) as a way to potentially federated shared circles in the future though: https://github.com/mastodon/featured_collections
