Currently, the world, not just Canada, is facing a struggle between national sovereignty and a combination of communism, globalism, and Islamism. Regarding the discussions about the USA and Trump, it’s essential to note that the USA has its own natural resources, population, GDP, and a military significantly larger than Canada’s. The USA’s current leader is clear about his stance on nationalism, with a focus on “Make America Great Again.” Much of what people perceive about Trump is influenced by CBC and mainstream media, which often present inaccurate or manipulative narratives.
As for the idea of the US “annexing” Canada, this would only occur if necessary. Historically, the USA has not allowed hostile foreign powers to establish themselves on its borders. As long as Canada’s interests align with the USA, Canada has not required a significant military presence, effectively operating as a protectorate of the US for a long time. With Trump, the US is even less likely to tolerate hostile powers forming on its northern border. If Canada diverges from US interests and becomes a potential threat, the US will take actions to protect its interests, regardless of opposition from certain groups.
The current Canadian government is perceived by some as operating without a substantive mandate from its citizens. If Trudeau oversteps, it may reveal the extent of US influence. These are not “normal times,” with ongoing conflicts over territory and ideology. Trump has already impacted the Israel conflict and may contribute to resolving the Ukrainian war. Trudeau is not seen as acting in the best interests of Canadians. While diplomacy is prioritized, other measures will be considered if necessary. The relatively peaceful era since World War Two is precarious, and Trump and his team are aware of this. But is Canada?
