Donald Trump has securing Canada’s resource wealth on his mind, and “one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country. And it is a real thing.”

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’m in the GTA. I’m ready to die for my country. Are Americans ready to say the same when their president gives them the order?

    Rest assured you do not want to fuck with us Canadians. We are deeply embedded in your country. You would see terrorism the likes of which you have only seen in your nightmares. 9/11 will seem like happier times.

    Seriously as a Canadian I want them to try.

      You have my understanding and support. Canadians please take care of yourselves.

      You had our back in Afghan/Iraq, you have brothers and sisters in the US that will help.

      It will take the unity to sabotage any Nazi/maga plans.

      Fun, totally unrelated to absolutely anything fact:

      Three of the top ten longest confirmed sniper kills were Canadian.

          Everywhere snipers are a thing, the best ones are always the ones that grew up hunting. There’s a lot of really wild areas with really big game in Canada, it makes sense that some people are going to be very good with a rifle and scope.
