Can we please stop annex, and use invade?

Annex sounds like paperwork

Invade is when we lose our country, our parliament, our money, our electricity, our freedom to speak move work, our water, our ...wait, you get it, right?

Kids are asking parents if they'll be able or allowed to leave the city, province or country if Americans invade. (Narrator: no.)

We. Are. Not. Fucking. Around. Why are millions of Americans?

“There are about 50,000 Mohawks straddling the U.S.-#Canadian border, and they are fearless… As members of what used to be the Iroquois Confederacy, they were ferocious warriors, and they retain a martial tradition. It is sobering to consider that they may think, with reason, that we are the illegal immigrants who have ruined the country, and therefore hold a grudge.”

“Since the War of 1812, Americans have not tried any formal invasions of #Canada but there was tacit and sometimes overt support for the 1837–38 revolt of the #Canadian patriotes, a confrontation over Oregon (a sober look at the size of the Royal Navy dissuaded us from trying anything), and the Fenian raids of 1866 and 1870. The Fenians were rather like the Proud Boys, only better organized and all Irish, and they also ended up fleeing back over the border.”

“We tried again in 1812. Thomas Jefferson, the original Republican, described the acquisition of Canada as “a mere matter of marching.” This was incorrect. The United States launched eight or nine invasions of #Canada during the War of 1812, winning only one fruitless battle. The rest of the time, it got walloped.”

“The Trump regime is using the dictator’s playbook against what was once its closest ally.

This increasingly looks like a destabilization campaign aimed at annexing Canada. It would be foolish to believe this will be limited to the economic realm. If America is intent on annexing Canada, the CIA will be kicking into overdrive.”

open.substack.comIt’s not a trade war; it is a destabilization campaign.The erratic swings in trade policy are not a bug, they’re a feature.

Blame Canada - Fentanyl is the excuse for annexation.

#Canada is Trump’s Poland or Ukraine.

“ And again, it is important not to confuse politeness with weakness.

I once visited a Canadian resort town where everything aboveground was perky commerce and skiing fun.

And then underground was a place where you went to throw axes. “ #cdnpoli #elbowsup

Thinking about... · Blame CanadaBy Timothy Snyder

“There’s no point in [Carney] going to Washington,” [U of T prof Robert] Bothwell said. “As [former PM Justin] Trudeau’s treatment shows, all that results in is a crude attempt by Trump to humiliate his guests. Nor can you have a rational conversation with someone who simply sits there and repeats disproven lies.”

…Trump demands respect, “but it’s often a one-way street, asking others to set aside their self-respect to bend to his will.”
