*PM says Trump is trying to make it easier to annex Canada — but it won’t work *
An unbowed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Canada will hit back hard at the U.S. after President Donald Trump launched a North American trade war by slapping devastating 25 per cent tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods.
Speaking to reporters at a news conference on Parliament Hill, Trudeau said Trump is trying to prompt “a total collapse of the Canadian economy” because he thinks that will “make it easier to annex us.”
But Trudeau said that will never happen because “when it comes to defending our great nation, there is no price we all aren’t willing to pay.”
Trudeau said Canada will not back down from a fight in the face of “completely bogus and completely unjustified” trade action that has the potential to ruin bilateral relations and prompt job losses, economic devastation and higher inflation on both sides of the border.
Russia is defending itself from evil. The analogy to US vs Canada is that it is powerful enough to liberate regions of Ukraine that want to join it, and it is powerful enough to obtain neutrality from Ukraine under a more reasonable/traditional rulership.
It is grossly unfair to compare Russia’s provoked defensive necessary operation with blatant evil empire expansion of the US.
I will respectfully disagree on Canadian resources, because the US already owns Canada and its permission on who to sell to. I think its more about intentionally destroying auto sector for Tesla benefit, and steal away investment from Canada. It is a war that US can think it can win, and so “smarter” than losing a war on Russia. It’s an ego power play without actual reason, but any extra Canadian sycophancy is a win he can brag about.
Ешь дерьмо, русский тролль.
