Mark Carney swept to power on a backlash to President Trump’s talk of making Canada the 51st state, which many Americans took for mere shtick. But for the new prime minister, reading intelligence reports detailing the gravity of the crisis, it was a breaking point.
In private phone conversations with Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau, Trump had threatened to scrap the 1908 agreement delineating their shared border. “I tear that up and your whole country unravels,” Trump told Trudeau in one call, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Over dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Trudeau’s envoys tried to dissuade Trump from absorbing their country. When one Trump aide pointed out Canada’s 41 million people would lean Democrat, the president came up with a neat solution: just split the northern neighbor into two states, one red, the other blue.
Now, as Carney took charge in early 2025, he commissioned a sensitive review that he would discuss one-on-one with his closest aides, in his office or aboard the jet officially callsigned CanForce 1: How dependent was Canada on one particular country for its data storage, military hardware, payments processing and even food?
It was Carney’s first crack at a riddle that would come to bedevil governments on both sides of the Atlantic. What to do when your closest ally turns into a threat?
His prescription in large part would lay in Europe, where Carney, a former Bank of England governor, had made his past and now saw Canada’s future. The Canadian banker who never before held elected office would emerge as an unexpected central figure in a high-stakes project to reshape the economic and military community known as the West.

Trump sure gets them wound up. I think this is how he amuses himself.
Carney’s plan was/is to drag Canada into the EU Dictatorship , Carney thinks he’s European , 3 passports Canada, UK and Ireland
His goal is to get Canada to join the EU.
Today Edmonton, tomorrow Canada.
I think it is all bs. If carnie was serious about re-armament he would just buy planes tanks and subs etc
Instead he sets up this phony “bank” with Nato third stringers as some sort of un-needed intermediary to siphon off graft.

He got their panties in a bond and their hair in a tizzy. They will fall over sucking their thumb...then after a few months of listlessness, be fair partners to work with.
“Mark Carney swept to power on a backlash to President Trump”
Translation: Just like wicked Keir Starmer, when WEF sycophant and globalist banker Carney shuts down free speech, destroys Canada’s freedoms and overruns it with outside illegal military aged invaders all done to enact a totalitarian digital ID, CBDC, Social Credit Score, Vaccine ID surveillance state modeled after CCP China for absolute tyrannical control of the population.
It’s all President Trumps fault.
The US should give him a medal! And the EU will probably give him a medal too!
The trouble with converting Canada to a CCP-style dictatorship is that most Canadians are not ethnically or culturally chinese. All the “diversity” they have promoted may come back to bite them when their goals require real unity, not just submission.
His goal is to get Canada to join the EU.

I would prefer Canada as an EU member because they think & act like EU members.(Birds of feather flock together.)
This 51st state nonsense is stupid and would only weaken a country already divided.(Yeah, let’s add more liberals to a country that already is liberal enough.)
Time to build the northern Border Wall.
They were a British Colony, they would just be returning to their roots.
Yup, a Banker who put Canada in a recession.
Time to build the northern Border Wall.
****************
I’m actually on record on FR for not only proposing a Great Wall of Mexico, but a Great Wall of Canada.(It’s some years ago.)😃
I thought the infrastructure employment would be great , but the naysayers who didn’t like it were worried about caribou and elk herd migrations being impeded.
With the right engineering all parties could’ve been satisfied.
This is true for most of us in the West. We’re not hive mind followers like the Chinese. Yet look how quickly so many went all-in and were okay with forcing the experimental gene therapy shots on their neighbors. They’ll be back with a DNA one in the future.
Frighten them only just a little and they’ll roll over for more toxins in their bloodstreams, for Digital IDs to work, for Social Credit Scores and then once the money supply USA reserve currency really does crash, they’ll beg for Central Bank Digital Currency ‘dollars’ to replace their bank notes. All managed 24 hours a day around the clock in real-time by AI algorithms and flock cameras
This is the anti-Christ ‘beast’ system rising up right in front of us.
Good video. Now I understand why Trump is dealing with Turkey. It makes sense.
