Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a private meeting inadvertently broadcast via a hot mic, warned that Donald Trump is seriously considering annexing Canada to secure its critical mineral resources.
Speaking to business and labor leaders, Trudeau claimed Trump’s administration is keenly aware of Canada’s resource wealth and sees annexation as a means to control it.
The comments, cut off after staff realized they were audible, underscore growing economic and political tensions.
He also stressed the need to diversify trade, noting, “Geography means we’re always going to both benefit and be challenged by trade with the United States.”
Canada should get nukes ASAP.
We’re entering late stage Nazi when they start trying to forcibly infect other countries. The timeline is accelerating. America desperately wants to become a viral disease bringing their fucked up way of life to everyone whether they like it or not.
One state with 200 representatives and 1/3rd of the electoral votes… smart.
Much more likely to be one big non-voting territory like Puerto Rico.
I’m guessing it would be broken up into smaller territories.
The Canadians and Canadiens should start thinking about their military purchases. Do you rely on a neighbor who is constantly threatening you with a trade war and annexation? Nope. The Orange Fuck-up will end up destroying the US MIC export business and their will be some pissed off wealthy people with deep connections.
I mean, if USA invades, there’s nothing we can do.
I wonder if he’s gonna give Alaska to the Russians.
can’t they just import things like this from Mexico and China
So they invade canada and its world war 3? All nato alliey against the us which is like 80% of nato, that doesn’t look good.
US is like a bully. But a huge, strong, armed bully, which is now also crazy and looks unpredictable. I doubt the rest of Nato, especially this castrated, limp EU would do anything to protect Canada. They would frown and condemn the us verbally, but probably watch from afar. That’s my impression at least.
Yeah. US is like a big brother that has been sniffing the wrong things and is starting to have psychotic episodes with a threat of violence.
Its like Nazi Germany taking over Austria.
Exactly, theres no way this triggers WW3 unless Canada starts working more closely with China immediately and even then it’s unlikely China goes to bat for Canada. Western countries have gotten way too comfortable with the US.
Lol that would probably look like the Winter War where Finns were vastly outnumbered but still won because they know how to survive the winter. I hope the americans wear body cams when they invade. It will be very satisfying to watch the Rocky Mountains literally kill them man vs nature style.
And Canadians are so fucking brutal historically in war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0230d9mp5WY
Also not sure if relevant but Canadian true crime seems to be way more often gory and needlessly violent compared to your typical run of the mill murder stories.
how to survive the winter.
The Americans have bases in North Dakota and Alaska. They’ve trained for cold conditions.
Don’t smugly believe that we just have to wait for the weather to stop them.
The Americans who will actually follow the orders will come from red states though. I know Alaska is red but I don’t think those people are the invade Canada type
I would deeply, deeply hope that American soldiers would never follow an order to attack Canada. For all of the Trump insanity, I still have hope that most people aren’t batshit like him.
You are underestimating the power of modern propaganda, especially now that AI is in the mix. Custom reality for anyone.
Not to disrespect the amazing achievements of the Finn’s in that war, but they lost, and lost half their country.
Incredible job not to lose the whole thing ofc.
Not to disrespect the amazing achievements of the Finn’s in that war, but they lost, and lost half their country.
In actual reality, we lost 9% of our territory to USSR due to WW2. One city, two towns. By official sources, about 400 000 Finns evacuated the conquered territory, and about 20 people remained and became Soviet citizens.
As a finn, not sure I would call it a lost war to keep independence against an enemy that has superior manpower and resources at their disposal in comparison.
And half is not even close to the truth.
This is just big talk for the cameras. The logistics of such a thing. Are so ridiculous and insane that if it was actually attempted. Canadians would basically become slaves with no rights… The Country would be torn apart by Resource fiends. They wouldnt even know what to do with 40 million people under a different legal system, so that would imply hundreds of thousands of people would end up just getting murdered or dying of neglect as society collapses
And that would open the door for massive waves of violence. What ISIS, AQ, etc did to America, That would absolutely be on the table.
This goes for any country. But if a country that’s supposed to have been our friend and ally for generations decides its time for Imperialism, and wipes out their neighbor like that in some putin hairbrained map drawing fantasy… Let me just say that Treachery is the lowest circle of hell. And people would have absolutely zero qualms after having everything taken away from them, in such a betrayal, zero qualms about targetting the civilian population of the aggressor.
and abandoning the whole somber story of how life would be over for 30-40 million Canadians, let me say that this act would 101%, without a doubt, Cause a US civil war. This is a Red line. And if there isn’t an eruption of mutinies, coups, revolts and violence in the US as it was enacted, Well, in that case, the Nazis already won.
The funny thing is they were saying the same thing in public
Only in private did they say the worry was real
Our dedicated boys keep the peace in newly annexed Canada
Australians are pissed. We have been right with the yanks in “America 1st” for decades and we get looked over again
They know that China will defend us… and then claim Australia as red territory.
Trump must realise Canada one of the founding members of Nato and an attack on one is an attack on all.
Im not Canadian I should add but yeah this kind of thing really will not go well for anyone same goes for Greenland.
A blue state with the population of texas, lets see how that affects congress.
Canada will be treated like Puerto Rico to ensure this doesn’t happen…
Monkey Paw: Supreme court rules that the federal government get to draw the maps. You get a totally gerrymandered State of Canada, Magats remain in power forever.
Ontario gets one congressional district, Alberta gets like 10
This is what I’m saying.
It would be worse for canadians, but better for Americans which would make things better for both in the long run.
Only a crazy person would trade decent healthcare for the right for every idiot man child to buy a gun. Its a horrific deal for canadians.
Canadians and honestly most of the world hate American healthcare and gun laws.
I would kill and die in a war with Americans if they tried to force us into becoming Americans. I would rather die and take as many of you with me as possible than become an american
Yep, I would bear arms against any who cross that border with ill intentions. They step foot across, and they’re pulling a stump back.
Guarantee I’d be sabotaging shit on this side to help you guys win. Every sensible American loves our Canadian neighbors and respects their sovereignty.
make no mistake, that line gets crossed. its over for everyone.
The US will enter a civil war. And it probably wont end for decades Canada will be destroyed. Gobbled up in the same civil war south. NATO will cease to exist. Europe will be in peices. The war with Russia will expand, many of europes countries will refuse to honor treaties and end up fighting each other until some vague lines are drawn between Russia and the resistance.
As as US citizens here i will join your side
Yeah I was gonna say let me cross over real quick. I’m American, so I’ll bring my own guns as long as you can provide some healthcare.
Violence in exchange for healthcare is celebrated by a lot of people.
Minnesota will likely join you. And if you don’t know our state history, don’t fuck with Minnesota.
We fucking love Minnesota. You guys are awesome.
Can we get a hint?
Well, starting with the civil war Hancock would, if I remember correctly, go on to credit MN for essentially winning the battle that turned the war. Here’s another good write up.
They lost 82 percent of the fighting force in a day. Biggest lose for a unit in American history.
We can start going more modern from there, however, in terms of straight state pride, fuck the slaveowners. Fuck unjust governments. That battle is everything a Minnesotan needs to know when it comes to fighting for what’s right.
We also took a confederate battle flag that day(Virginia’s?) and every couple years or so they ask for it back and get told to pound sand. The full embodiment of being Minnesotan
I’d say you guys are already honorary Canadians, but I’m told I shouldn’t fuck with Minnesota, so I’ll just do a friendly nod as I hold the door and wish you a nice day neighbour and please give my best to yours and if your kids are up for it my kids wanted to do that playdate, so would pizza be ok, let us know if there are any allergies we should know about.
Eh, with current events, most of us would take that title with open arms. However, title only, our work of undermining the current administration is just getting started. Most of us would rather be Canadian, but think about the chaos we will sew from the inside out.
Anyway, sounds great, only allergies are fascists, thanks.
And as an american I applaud you for it. This is the dumbest timeline.
I like your fighting spirit. I look forward to calling you my countryman.
I’m American and I’d be 100% on your side, there is every reason to not be in the US, you don’t deserve our fate.
How would that even work. It’s an an entire country made up of provinces. We have our own provincial governments. Canada is fucking huge. How would they enter? The border spans the whole width of the continent. Do they even have a big enough military to even do that?
None of this even makes sense, it sounds like the biggest dumbest joke any president has ever came up with, besides building a wall along the opposite border, which may have started but never even finished, or turned out way too expensice to be realistic or something like that, what ever the fuck happened.
For Canada’s population they are a remarkable country, but even so, for Canada to win a war they don’t need to fight, they only need to walk backwards and wait for winter.
No you wouldn’t.
Okay not to downplay the fucked up reality of this situation, but does it bother anyone else that the Orange Idiot thinks Canada should be just one State? And one hostile to him and his party at that, out of spite if nothing else.
i knoe Alberta is probably red, what about the other providences? Any Canadians want to chime in? What would the hypothetical blue/red breakdown be?
Alberta and SK are more closely aligned with blue. Our conservatives are leftist compared to your democrats.
The problem is that the PPC is politically a nonstarter, so they hitchhike on the Conservative party.
the whole reason the PPC exists is because Maxime Bernier threw a hissy fit that he wasn’t selected to lead the Conservative party. and it was instead given to Erin Otoole or Andrew Scheer, (I honestly forget which one)
PPC has effectively re-integrated with the conservative party as other factions of the CPC have effectively embraced MAGA/Trumpism/Quisling Collaborationism. making PPC irrelevant and redundant.
I live in rural AB and I’d be surprised if 1 person in 10 had anything good to say about trump. Most people know that he’s a lying shitbird, and want nothing to do with him. And frankly Danielle Smith is sliding fast since her toadying reaction to his tariff threats.
AB would join before ANSCHLUSS.
SK red.
ON swing state, it’s rust belt all over again.
Maritimes votes along with New England.
MB is dealing with mosquitoes.
BC blue.
NL swing but mostly blue.
PQ 3rd party, but generally very strong blue. I don’t see PQ annexation happening though. It’d sooner fight for independence from either.
You must be in the East if you think like this.
You must be in the East if you think
The BQ would change their slogan to “nous autres, on l’a l’affaire!”
