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 think you are underestimating the might of a military that has 1 Trillion dollars a year spent on it and has over 1 million active duty members. Trump is also dumb enough to authorize the use of nuclear weapons.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d expect the US to occupy us very quickly, but it would take a very long time for things to calm down
Edit: also its incredibly insane that this is a conversation we’re even having?
you’re right. On both points I feel a little like I got transported into one of the bad twilight zone episodes. The ones with out a moral that just say “damn wouldn’t that suck”
