Canada and the US have rising tensions due to Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and anexation, leading to the unusual booing of the US anthem at a recent NBA game in Toronto. Trump’s provocative remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state, although unrealistic, have angered Canadians and created political complications.
Canada has significant global trade and political views, they’re proud of their identity, strong social democratic values and a distinct cultural and political separation from the US. The idea of Canada becoming part of the US is just not feasible legally, politically, or practically, and there is no genuine support for such a notion within Canada.
Canadian elections are coming and they’re crapping themseves. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, previously leading in the polls, now faces challenges due to the shift in focus towards how Canada will handle the US threats. Because this is all crazy AF, the Liberal Party now has an advantage, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and his likely successor, Mark Carney.
The Conservative Party has to condemning the US Right while defending Canada’s autonomy, complicating their political strategy. They had recent strong polling, the election is no longer a straightforward win for the Conservatives, and Trump’s actions may ironically benefit the Liberals, potentially granting them another term in office.
Good reason to be proud: at the end of WW2, Canada had the 3rd largest navy and 4th largest airforce in the world. Their contribution in WW2 cannot be understated.
Goddamn that article is impossible to read. I’ll just have to be satisfied with the headline.
