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.”
American here: yep. NATO is going to become effectively useless in short order, and it’ll be all our fault. Save yourselves; hopefully we can get our shit together at some point, but I’m not counting on it tbh.
there’s a reason France maintains a second, non-NATO, arsenal. there’s also a reason Poland is buying what France is selling
Um it’s still NATO. It’s just under their command.
My question is: when push comes to shove, what are you gonna do if Trump declares war on Canada?
another American here: i’m gonna do my best to be a hindrance to my government. i fundamentally disagree with wars of expansionism
Thanks. I’m happy to see we stand united across frontiers.
donald trump is right our border is arbitrary. his conclusion of what to do about it is derranged. our people should be united, not in subjugation, but in resistance. our music, food, and culture all influence each other. we likewise should all be free from these fucking losers
Yes. Standing united can mean also that we recognize that right to self-rule is beneficial to all.
Resistance is possible in many forms
