Then it’s fine to fasten a noose around the natives’ neck and very gradually tighten it?
What else could you be indicating by posting about this in this context? It’s true that natives were nomadic people moving through the land, but how does that make it right for europeans to come in and claim land in a permanent fashion from across the globe?
ah yes, that time when america was a land without people, and americans were a people without land
I don’t know man, the north Atlantic ocean isn’t that arbitrary. I’m just saying that our population has been burned out worrying about super high level stuff that doesn’t impact them as much as neighborhood activism.
I’m not accusing you of being a trumpist, but Trump literally called the US-Canada border an arbitrary line, so maybe try a different talking point for this topic?
I’m not in favor of this.
We don’t need more super-national institution telling us what to do. I’m on board for good relations and for taking ideas from them, but we need to stop giving power to distant institutions that aren’t truly invested in our success.
OK?
Ah jee guys, he’s got a point, imagine the tariffs and weird annexation talk he would have with liberals if liberals were in power 4 years from now.
If only we had some ways or historic telling us how he would interact with liberals in power like say, Trudeau or something.
Everyday is a good day to wake up to how badly we need nuclear energy and must ditch the human-leeches that are part of the oil lobby.
I want a strong railway network so bad in Canada, so that these CEOs stop being treated like their opinion matters.
The US empire is already crumbling as is, I’m not sure how much more disruption it really needs but it might happen in our life time.
If anything, I’m pissed that we’re on the eve of a new world geopolitics era and the US completely shitted up some big players in the East. And also, shitting in their own backyard with this Canada annexation talk.
I agree on all your points there.
But you have to understand the mindset of the super-elites that are pulling the strings. Borders are an inconvenience to them and their business. They don’t want to deal with conversion rate, they don’t want to print extra information on labels to respect the law of one specific country, they don’t want to manage a PR campaign with locals. All of that is a drain on resources and a stopgap to their growth and consumption.
The US government is openly corrupt and captured, at this point, it’s on the verge of being a free-for-all for the super-elite that want their way. If Canada is brought under that corrupt umbrella, they cut a lot of the “inconvenience” for their infinite growth.
Steve Bannon actually explained the reasons why Trump wants Canada so bad, and it’s actually pretty “rational”. I don’t want the US to take over, but we need to understand just how much they would gain if they annexed us.
Mind you, this also explains the weird obsession with Greenland. There are military thinkers that want to create a defensive position out of the newly freed strait that will manifest north of Canada, and Greenland/Canada are key positions to do this.
It’s dangerous to hand wave this as a weird and quirky tantrump, there’s some really greedy fuckers across the border and they want direct dibs on the Arctic.
The US plans some of their invasion/regime change over the course of years if not decades.
I honestly believe that Trump was briefed on some plans to annex Greenland, Canada and Panama, and the fucking buffoon let the cat out of the bag.
I have something like 57% certainty that democrats would eventually start denouncing “fentanyl labs” in Canada and create excuses for invasion.
