Americans have been fighting communists forever. No use stopping now.
Snowballs. Twenty paces.
Following the 2024 presidential election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago and said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government face reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse upon itself economically and cease to exist. In essence, in addition to the NATO defense shortfall, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy.
go not do
No.
Exactly.
Trade war, maybe.
I think Carney was just posing when he was campaigning. My expectation is that conversation is happening beglhjnd closed doors.
The author makes a good point. We don’t want to make Canada a state any more than we want Puerto Rico to become a state, we’ve got enough welfare cases voting themselves more free schit already. A war with Canada would last as long as it would take to mobilize the Des Moines Boy Scout troop after a night of binging on Bobby’s mama’s spiked fruit punch at the camp out.
The EU and now Canada are more of a threat to us than Russia is.
Not as a result of the US’s doing.
And I doubt Canada would be foolish enough to try it, although, with leftists, it’s hard to know the depths to which their stupidity will lead them.
No intelligent person believes that a shooting war will erupt between the U.S. and Canada. Nor any annexations.
Maybe some harsh words. Even a trade war. But no shooting wars. Neither side wants that (despite what some trolls might say).
God works in mysterious ways.
Just like Russia, we now have an EU globalist client state on our border, which may be used as a wedge against the US and its interests, and people are talking about war.
Instead, we could just use the opportunity to "regulate" our northern border.
"54° 40' or Fight!"

The only war with Canada is the trade war, which they lost several months ago, when Trudeau came to Mar-a-Lago on bended knee, and more recently, when Canada elected an outspokenly ungrateful and anti-American prime minister.
Trudeau begged President Trump not to use reciprocal tariffs to close a trade loophole - through which Canada imports cheap Chinese products and dumps them in US markets, thereby allowing China to avoid U.S. import tariffs. Trudeau said without that loophole, Canada’s economy would collapse.
President Trump’s response? He suggested Canada become the 51st US state, and he began publicly calling him ‘Governor Trudeau’.
Canada faces a dilemma of its own making:
Over the past decades, Canada chose poorly, trading away any industrial capacity it had, and becoming nothing but a conduit for dumping re-packaged Chinese imports into the U.S. - tariff-free.
Because of this trade triangle, President Trump can’t discipline China without closing this Canadian trade loophole, which will collapse the Canadian economy. This put President Trump in a tough spot - how to put America first without kneecapping our beloved neighbors to the north?
Well, fast forward to last week, when Canada elected an outspokenly ungrateful and anti-American prime minister - largely in response to President Trump’s “51st State” taunts. Now Canada has lost the one card it had left to play - the sympathy of the American people.
President Trump is now free to put America First - with Canada seemingly initiating the ‘break-up’.
Well played, Mr President. Well played.
“....I predict that within the next two years there will be serious talk of portions of Canada (like Alberta) seceding over to the US as Carney crushes citizens with carbon taxation, increased censorship, continued mass immigration and gun bans. The new Primer Minister will make every effort to make Canada as draconian as Europe.....”
You have to understand that in the USA there are more firearms than there are people. In Canada, not so much. There are a lot more people in the USA than Canada. The military of Canada is pathetically small compared to that of the USA.
No. This is idiocy.
Alberta secession. That’s a real possibility.
Quit huffing glue and these garish dreams will stop.
Canada is far too economically and militarily dependent on the U.S. for any of this to be realistic. That said, the ideological drift is real—leftism has hollowed out much of Canada’s political culture.
Leftism is a mental disease and Canada has a full-blown case.
