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.”
I wish Canada would start an immigration program for Americans who don’t want to be a part of this shit.
I voted, I’m politically active, and I don’t want to be on this ride. While I don’t have a sought-after degree, I want to work for and contribute to my community. I have skills that I would be glad to contribute. I would pounce on the chance to get out of this shit hole.
Canada should get nukes ASAP.
Happy to see the precious metal aspect of this get pubicity, even if accidentally.
This is all about life without China.
Tawain, drones, precious metals. They’re all related.
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.
Jeez. No way trumps doing this.
One state with 200 representatives and 1/3rd of the electoral votes… smart.
You act like he’ll allow elections again, especially with large voter bases in the “new state” that would remove him from office.
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.
Hard disagree. The people can do a lot.
Canada is one of the founding members of NATO. But so is the USA. Could get interesting, but not in a good way.
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.
