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.”
Lol that would probably look like the Winter War where Finns were vastly outnumbered but still won because they know how to survive the winter. I hope the americans wear body cams when they invade. It will be very satisfying to watch the Rocky Mountains literally kill them man vs nature style.
And Canadians are so fucking brutal historically in war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0230d9mp5WY
Also not sure if relevant but Canadian true crime seems to be way more often gory and needlessly violent compared to your typical run of the mill murder stories.
I would deeply, deeply hope that American soldiers would never follow an order to attack Canada. For all of the Trump insanity, I still have hope that most people aren’t batshit like him.
You are underestimating the power of modern propaganda, especially now that AI is in the mix. Custom reality for anyone.
Dude what. Why are you lusting for blood from Americans? This is the fault of one administration that I’m still not convinced won this election fairly. We don’t like this shit anymore than you.
The Americans have bases in North Dakota and Alaska. They’ve trained for cold conditions.
Don’t smugly believe that we just have to wait for the weather to stop them.
the reality is that americans will do just fine with the winter.
the part that will destroy them, is trying to manage an occupation of a country on its own border. where the population is almost indistinguishable and hidden, Just like Russia deals with in Ukraine. the Americans didnt have the stomach for an occupation on the other side of the world where the culture was so different they might as well have been aliens, they lost to that. They would have even less so for one on their own border where the “enemy” is attacking them from within.
the enemy, being both Insurgents from Canada, as well as their own population. Attacking Canada will absolutely, 100% cause a Civil war in America, Even US military bases could start shooting at themselves as units fight it out for a prevailing loyality once there’s a constitutional and moral crisis in america.
And the Adminstration would end up going into Putin Bunker mode. if they aren’t deposed or eliminated right away by a Coup.
The Americans who will actually follow the orders will come from red states though. I know Alaska is red but I don’t think those people are the invade Canada type
Not to disrespect the amazing achievements of the Finn’s in that war, but they lost, and lost half their country. (Edit: 10%, not half. Sorry Finland.)
Incredible job not to lose the whole thing ofc.
As a finn, not sure I would call it a lost war to keep independence against an enemy that has superior manpower and resources at their disposal in comparison.
And half is not even close to the truth.
In actual reality, we lost 9% of our territory to USSR due to WW2. One city, two towns. By official sources, about 400 000 Finns evacuated the conquered territory, and about 20 people remained and became Soviet citizens.
You’re right, I’ll edit a corrrection
