Might I ask, (I hate googling and prefer asking real people) what is “elbows up” a reference from?

In the context of “Canadians against the 51st state rhetoric,” “elbows up” is a metaphorical expression used to rally Canadian defiance and resilience. It draws from the sports imagery of keeping elbows raised to hold ground or push back, symbolizing a collective stance against perceived threats to sovereignty.

Thanks for the response.

As an American who detests the “51st state rhetoric” I also will have elbows up.

Miss your writing but seriously, family must always come first!

Btw, my local Liberal candidate is retired Air Force and chaired the National Defence Committee from 2016-2019.
