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.”

    Canadians are not as pathetic as us Americans, who’ve been rolling over for 50 years.

    They will fight.

      After 20 million scared civilians are neutralized and pacified… it will look like a fait accompli.
      and then will come the car bombs, the mass shootings, the assassination’s.

      The only thing stupider than Russia invading Ukraine and expecting not to deal with a massive insurgency. Two countries that are culturally very close but had extremely bad history with each other as a cycle of abuse, is America trying to do the same thing with Canada,

      Treachery is according to the divine comedy, the worst sin of all. Canada doesn’t have the boon of bordering other allies trying to help them in an imperialist war from their supposed brothers. but being stabbed in the back will sure motivate people to do things they wouldnt dream of against people they used to call friends. Yes, I’m referring to the “T” word.

      also. theres no way Canada gets attacked, and it doesn’t cause a revolution or coup in the US. The first moves into Canada, would effectively be the first moves of a 2nd Civil War.
