“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.
This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.
I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.
This is what Canada needs to do.
Steve Bannon actually explained the reasons why Trump wants Canada so bad, and it’s actually pretty “rational”. I don’t want the US to take over, but we need to understand just how much they would gain if they annexed us.
Mind you, this also explains the weird obsession with Greenland. There are military thinkers that want to create a defensive position out of the newly freed strait that will manifest north of Canada, and Greenland/Canada are key positions to do this.
It’s dangerous to hand wave this as a weird and quirky tantrump, there’s some really greedy fuckers across the border and they want direct dibs on the Arctic.

I agree on all your points there.
But you have to understand the mindset of the super-elites that are pulling the strings. Borders are an inconvenience to them and their business. They don’t want to deal with conversion rate, they don’t want to print extra information on labels to respect the law of one specific country, they don’t want to manage a PR campaign with locals. All of that is a drain on resources and a stopgap to their growth and consumption.
The US government is openly corrupt and captured, at this point, it’s on the verge of being a free-for-all for the super-elite that want their way. If Canada is brought under that corrupt umbrella, they cut a lot of the “inconvenience” for their infinite growth.

Oh I know that they have these very rational reasons and wasn’t trying to rationalize it away. I just wanted to point out that cheeto isn’t going to back down because he’s also a crazed fucker who doesn’t give a fuck
Defence from who? The Russians? They’re already inside the White House hahaha!
They can have most of that with a sovereign Canada as an ally. If they try to take that by force, it will end up like Afghanistan. But 100x worse. All their little plans will be sabotaged into oblivion by guerrilla warfare, and their own civil war it will cause. It will trigger the fall of the American Empire
The US empire is already crumbling as is, I’m not sure how much more disruption it really needs but it might happen in our life time.
If anything, I’m pissed that we’re on the eve of a new world geopolitics era and the US completely shitted up some big players in the East. And also, shitting in their own backyard with this Canada annexation talk.
Thats cute. Lol
