(Alt-Market)—Reality is absolutely downstream from fiction. Did the creators of South Park predict the future in their 1999 comedy film? I think we’re all suddenly realizing that prognostication is easy – Simply imagine the most absurd scenario possible and eventually it’s going to come true because we’re living in clown world.
A war between Canada and the US opening up a portal to hell might be a bit of a stretch, but recent events lead me to believe that there are very real ingredients coming together that could trigger an active conflict with our neighbors to the north. Furthermore, these factors do NOT necessarily revolve around the trade war; the trade war is secondary.
There is something explosive going on under the surface of US/Canada relations and it could very well end with a US invasion to the north.
Most conservatives have viewed Trump’s rhetoric on Canada becoming the 51st state as a joke or a troll. At least, initially. Trump himself said it was a joke in the beginning, but now he thinks it might be a good idea. For today, lets imagine that this is a real agenda for the Trump Administration and consider the pros and cons.
The Cons
1) Trump looks like an “empire builder” which is widely considered poor form in the 21st Century. Most conservatives prefer that America stick to the American sphere and deal with American problems first before trying to change the geopolitical landscape.
2) An annexation of Canada would mean welcoming millions of Canadian leftists into the US as voting citizens. Who knows how this would affect the election demographics. It’s better to leave Canada as a steam valve so that leftist LEAVE the US and live there instead. America has been suffering under the weight of increasing progressive control, and now that we are finally turning the tide we don’t want to screw it up by importing a bunch of socialists from across the border.
3) On the global stage, the leftist establishment will claim that any US expansion is proof of a rising “fascist regime”. Not that most Americans really care what the rest of the world thinks, but we do still have to engage in diplomacy and alliances and trade to a point. The more the fascism narrative grows the harder it will be to engage with other countries on civil terms, fair or not fair.
The Pros
1) The US already pays for Canada’s defense anyway. Their proximity to us keeps them safe from invasion. Their defense budget is a tiny $27 billion, compared to America’s $997 billion. Their military is minuscule, with 63,000 active members and 22,000 reserve compared to America’s 2.86 million active duty troops and nearly 800,000 in reserve.
Canada has never needed an army because the US is their daddy. If Canada was annexed, the billions expended to keep the country safe would make more sense in our modern post-cold war era.
2) Though there is a risk of bringing millions of leftists into US citizenship if Canada became the 51st state, there is also a good chance most of those people would leave the country and move overseas. Frankly, the less leftists reside in North America, the better off we all will be, and taking Canada might run them all off to another part of the world.
3) Bringing Canada into the fold would make tariffs unnecessary, allow for more efficient resource development and help dig Canada out of the desperate economic slump they are currently trapped in. But an even more important factor is keeping Canada out of the hands of the globalists within the European Union, who have been courting the nation for years and seeking far closer political ties. In military strategy this is called “area denial”.
The War Scenario
This brings us to what I believe is a potential build-up to war between the US and our neighbor. The election of Mark Carney basically seals the deal.
The former central banker is a notorious high ranking member of the World Economic Forum and a devout globalist. He has called for a global digital currency system and supports the cashless society concept. He will no doubt increase tensions with the US on every front from trade to border controls and he WILL get friendly with governments that are hostile to America.
Upon his election win his first act was to attack the US and Trump, hinting at closer connections with the EU, not to mention refusing to negotiate on trade.
The EU issue, I believe, is a hot spark in a hay bale. As I’ve noted in recent articles, the EU is without any doubt going full blown authoritarian because they know they can. The vast majority of Europeans are disarmed making any rebellion much more difficult.
They are locking up political opponents and citizens that speak out. They are instituting a vast online censorship apparatus. They are importing millions of third world migrants that can be used as enforcers to keep the native population in line. They are openly talking about forced military conscription and are courting the idea of war with Russia.
European governments are the enemy of all free people. This can only lead to bloody conflict in the future.
By extension, Mark Carney, head of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, has deep connections to the European elites and is loyal to the WEF. I would not be surprised if he immediately organizes a campaign for Canada to join the EU, or, creates policies which give the EU a geopolitical foothold in North America. The union’s treaty currently requires that a country be a geographical part of Europe before it can join. There are also a number of obstacles for inclusion, but as we have seen with Ukraine, the EU is happy to bend or change the rules if it suits them.
If membership is formed or a defense pact signed, the EU’s ongoing plan to create a “European Army” would then extend to Canada and put the US and Canada/Europe in a framework for escalation. Canada is working on such a defense deal with the EU right now.
It’s important to understand that this war would start out as economic and quickly become ideological. The progressives believe that populist, nationalist and conservative movements are a “threat to democracy” (which means they are a threat to the globalist order). They view American conservatives as the last obstacle to their “Great Reset” (an agenda which Carney avidly supports) and they will do everything in their power to remove that obstacle.
Carney WILL invite the EU to take a more active role in Canadian affairs and seek out their “protection”, economically as well as strategically. This would only exacerbate the diplomatic situation with the US and invite an American invasion.
The tariffs will become perpetual under Carney because it’s unlikely he will seek honest negotiations. Rather, he will seek to provoke. Around 76% of Canada’s exports are sold to the US and there is no realistic replacement for this market. Canada does not have the means to ship their goods overseas without raising prices exponentially. They would lose their competitive trade advantage. Around 30% of Canada’s GDP relies on export sales. Canada’s economy will be destroyed by long term tariffs.
This will inevitably lead to extra-economic retaliation; meaning, Canada will seek a means to hurt the US beyond reciprocal tariffs because tariffs will not help them. They will try to cut off oil exports to the US even though they have no alternative buyers. They will cut off the hydropower that they sell to states like New York, Minnesota and Michigan. They will try to interfere with US shipping lanes that cross into Canadian controlled waters (Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway).
Again, this would elicit a war response from the US and victory would be swift. The existing Canadian government would have zero chance of staying in power.
For those that think a conflict with Canada sounds ridiculous, I would remind them that times are changing rapidly. What you might think of as the status quo for geopolitics today is over. As globalism breaks apart we are entering the wild west, so saddle up and sack up. There’s no room for normalcy bias anymore.
I predict that within the next two years there will be serious talk of portions of Canada (like Alberta) seceding over to the US as Carney crushes citizens with carbon taxation, increased censorship, continued mass immigration and gun bans. The new Primer Minister will make every effort to make Canada as draconian as Europe.
More progressive parts of Canada will pursue EU membership. And, the idea of war will not sound so crazy anymore. In fact, I suspect it will be a common debate around the average American and Canadian dinner table.
Again, with a globalist ghoul like Mark Carney in control of Canada the chances for heightened tensions are immense and unfortunately a large enough percentage of Canadians are gullible enough to follow his lead thinking they can win. Make no mistake, a war with the globalists is brewing and Canada is currently leaning globalist. This could result in a conflagration between Americans and Canadians in the near future.

It would be over in half an hour !!!
It might only take one period of a hockey game.
WE NEED TO GET OUT OF NATO ASAP! Europe is preparing to go to war with Russia, they think they can win. Their economy is sinking, wealth is fleeing to the US as controls are starting. If they go to war, China will join Russia. The US needs to stay out of that nonsense. It appears the only smart politicians in the roomare Xi, Putin and Trump. if Trump can get us out of NATO and keep us out of their war, then he should be added to Mount Rushmore. Or maybe his own mountain. for reference check out Martin Armstrong‘s latest interview with usawatchdog.com.
But Trump just tied us economically and military to Ukraine. He’s continuing military equipment (with the fiction that the cost will be rolled into the US contribution to the “mineral deal” rebuilding fund) and they started sharing intelligence again (proven by renewed missile strikes with US weapons systems into Russia in the last few days). He’s putting on secondary sanctions against countries that do business with Russia (which will just work with the tariffs to drive more countries into the BRICS sphere). No. Trump just took ownership of the Ukraine war and started down the worst course possible. Total failure.
The United States and Russia should form an alliance, the Russians are less authoritarian than Europe now. Let Europe be invaded and lose. The WEF problem can be fix at their next Davos meeting with a few Cruise Missiles. Canada is a Joke. French Canada would naturally surrender. Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Yukon would look to join the United States, they would be acceptable since they aren’t overrun with leftists. The rest of Canada should be left to die on the vine, then we could just walk in and seize the abandoned land. Screw Canada and Screw Europe, they are Communists now. The reason they hate Russia is because the Soviet Union Failed and proved their beloved Communism sucks and is a failure.
I agree. The EU and Canada are both globalist and far to the positive on the socialist/communist continuum. Russia is nationalist and has not been communist in 35 years. Putin was and is a political thug, but is not worse than…even not nearly so much so as Starmer, Macron, Trudeau, Obama, or Biden. Today, Russia’s people are more free and its people are more protected than the UK, France, Germany, or Italy. Putin kept the LGBTQ and Trannys on the fringes of society, out of power positions, and away from influence on children (as they should be). Russia is more tolerant of Christianity and less tolerant of Islam than most of the EU.
BUT if the US remains aligned with the EU and the EU continues to provoke Russia, then Russia will be forced to align with Iran, China, North Korea, etc. The best way to preserve democracy and protect Europe is to get out of NATO and align more with Russia. All of the EU and Canada could eventually challenge America. But they would not be so foolish as to challenge an America/Israel/Russia alliance.
Too bad Trump just decided to go all in on guaranteeing war with Russia, and considering his choices, will also be at war with Iran at Israel’s behest soon. That’s if Japan doesn’t decide to nuke the dollar because of the tariffs and secondary sanctions on Russia.
Good job. That needed to be said.
Each Canadian Provence would become a new territory. Statehood could come after that. Voting would come with Statehood. Loyalty oaths would be mandatory!
No need to annex all of Canada, just the four Western provinces, which lean more conservative. Alberta is already talking about seceding. Throw in the Yukon and Northwest Territories and, as a bonus, Alaska becomes part of the contiguous US.
Who writes this drivel? War with Canada? Canada needs an army before they can fight a war. Maybe the continuation of a war of words, that means expelling a lot of hot air, not hot lead. Is gonna be interesting to see how far Canada’s economy before they come to Trump for concessions.
Blame the French in the Canadians. They descended from an unstable tribe. That’s all you need to know but if you want the details they finagled with their father’s concubines. Unstable, self-righteous bunch.
It would be a REALLY short war.
I would rather have Canadians as friends, but with so many of them being leftist little lemmings, they may not accept anything short of Civil Service collars.
Why is war a possibility? Because the US is bankrupt and needs to plunder at least two complete countries to save them, and it’s not obvious they’re NOT getting Ukraine and Russia. So it’s Canada and Greenland instead. They can’t fight back. Both those countries are so left wing, they won’t exploit their own natural resources so the US will do it for them. I don’t believe there will be a war because the rest of the world isn’t going to allow it. This is NOT over some military base in Greenland. Only a fool would believe that and it’s NOT true because Donald Trump says it’s true.
That came out wrong and I hate it you can’t change/ fix your posts after you post them.

With globalist Carney at the helm, this would be a terrific opportunity for the EU to help Canada. I am sure that vast farmland areas would become handicapped under EU rules of climate mandates. The Chinese would be delighted to ship Canadian products to Europe or to gather energy production when Canada shuts off the pipeline. Above all, it would be interesting to see Canadian industries under the influence of EU wind and solar energy mandates.
A conflict will not be necessary. I expect Alberta to succeed from the Canadian confederacy first. Alberta has much more in common with Montana than with Ottawa.
If the Canadian government decided stupidly to send in federal troops to stop Albertas departure , then U.S. intervention might happen.
Anyway you look at the Canadian situation, a globalist nation on our northern border is unacceptable . The U.S. already has a Narco state on our southern border with a faux globalist installed leader.
Thank God for Donald Trump. MAGA forever.
