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.”

      unironically, something like this would likely happen.

      factions within the country, political, civil and military, would fight amongst themselves, and some would ultimatley decide that the Trump Adminstration is Treasonous, Terrorists, not legitimate, etc. and start shooting.

      Attacking Canada, is just a red line that would signal the start of the Second American Civil War.

      I am hoping that it would be The Blue States, NATO, and Mexico dog-piling Vichy America. Behind the Bastards theory of “Fuck that guy.” at work.
