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.”

      This is what I’m saying.

      It would be worse for canadians, but better for Americans which would make things better for both in the long run.

        America isn’t a sovereign nation.

        its a meat puppet beholden to Corpo/Tech Fascists, Evangelical radicals, The Russian Mafia, and the State of Israel. We have no interest in becoming slaves .

        Your society is so broken you have healthcare insurance CEOs being murdered on the street and people cheering for the death because the system is so fundementally broken for people who aren’t modern day aristocrats / old money.

          Canadians and honestly most of the world hate American healthcare and gun laws.
