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.”
One state with 200 representatives and 1/3rd of the electoral votes… smart.
You act like he’ll allow elections again, especially with large voter bases in the “new state” that would remove him from office.
I’m guessing it would be broken up into smaller territories.
And you’d know they’d gerrymander it into a small handful of high population blue territories and a giant pile of mostly empty red territories.
Much more likely to be one big non-voting territory like Puerto Rico.
