The US cannot “annex” or “invade” Canada.

Both are key members of NATO. That means that all other members must defend any fellow country if it’s invaded. Almost the entire western world - INCLUDING AMERICA - would have to defend Canada.

It’s just Trump spreading lies and misinformation to distract from him stealing American’s money. Same as always.

The NATO Alliance consists of 30 member states from North America and Europe. Article Five of the treaty states that if an armed attack occurs against one of the member states, it should be considered an attack against all members, and other members shall assist the attacked member, with armed forces if necessary.

If, as most economists agree, tariffs hurt the importing country most - why would Canada do that to its own people?

I get the feeling many of these people are also preppers and actively yearn for a crash to justify spending their lives readying for it.

Democracy isn’t about getting your own way.

True democracy (Direct Democracy) can’t happen - you’d need to vote in every single decision. Without everyone’s decision, nothing could get done. It’s bad enough for a family of four to agree what movie to watch, let alone a whole country. It would be democratic if most people watched what they wanted, but the logistics for a country ain’t gonna work.

That’s why most Western countries in the world have Representative Democracy - we elect people to do that stuff on our behalf, and are aware of affecting factors. And by and large, it works. Sure, there are always failings and scandals and someone can point these out, because human beings like to cheat and have their own agendas, and of course, power corrupts. Sadly, there is no form of government that is safe from subversion.

If you don’t like a decision, vote for a representative that you think will do more of what you want. Or form an effective protest.

The guy is never going to run out of dead cats to grab headlines and avert attention from more important things.
