Summary
Mark Carney, frontrunner for Canadian Liberal Party leadership and potential prime minister, stated Canada will stand up to a bully after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.
Carney vowed to retaliate by matching the US tariffs dollar for dollar, asserting Canada would not cave in despite mounting pressure.
He criticized Trump for undermining trade agreements, warning that the tariffs would damage the US global reputation and economic stability.
Outgoing Prime Minister Trudeau promised a forceful, immediate response, emphasizing unity as Canada defends its economic interests, ensuring national prosperity.
Only an American would think that Canada is the same as the US. Because Americans are completely ignorant of Canada, in the same way they’re ignorant of the other places they tried (and failed) to conquer. Which is exactly why it’ll go the same way… only worse because there’s a lot of targets within drone range of Canada.
We seem similar but that’s to our advantage. There’s a very long border that Canadians can cross and you’d have to admit, Canadians would blend in well with the US population. While you’re looking at troop counts and number of planes and think it’ll be easy, we’re over here thinking about how easy it would be for us to fight a guerilla war on US soil. It’s been a long time since the US fought a war on your own soil and I’m seeing a lot of soft targets.
Also remember this would be the US betraying an ally. An ally that was just in a war fighting alongside the US for decades. Then a few years after that the US betrays it’s ally for what? Money? When the US is already the wealthiest country in the world? Never in human history has a country been so dishonorable. What do you think the US troop morale would be when ordered to do something so despicable? To fight against an ally to make some wealthy oligarchs even more wealthy? Canada would get a lot of help even from within the US if something like this were to happen. There would be a significant fifth column, to the point where the US might collapse into civil war.
If the US were to attempt invading Canada, it would be the end of the US.
I’m already laughing at the propaganda posters I’m imagining:
“Did YOUR neighbor just say ‘oot’, ‘sorry’, or ‘zed’? REPORT THEM TO YOUR NEAREST PATRIOTISM ASSURANCE OFFICER TODAY.”
Minnesota is gonna have some problems.
