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.”

      Right now, he’s shooting in a bag and handing it around if that doesn’t cause massive protests in the general public to kick his ass out then he Will probably eventually find a truffle.

      The country was dismantled in his last term when the Supreme Court was turned into a Nazi sock puppet.

      There’s no checks and balances yet we’re not going to get any better until all those fuckers go.
