Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)
You just answered it yourself. It failed miserably and it will obviously fail again. Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada. Consequently, it can’t be the reason for the tarriffs.
Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…
When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you’re all standing around like “nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!” Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.
Trump has a game going here where he alienates and punishes our allies, hands control of foreign aid to China, snuggles up to Russia, invites Hungary over for dinner, stops backing Europe militarily, and fits all the War Department warning signs for what to watch for in a dictator in America. That’s the part we know.
Whatever he’s up to, it’s not the status quo. The pressure from the tariffs can just be part of this larger game. As can the annexation threat. But that’s the part we don’t know.
Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada.
Nobody could seriously believe a US President would allow an unelected billionaire into the halls of power and society to tear it down from the inside, but here were are.
Why would he? India is no really a challenge.
Yet.
All it would take is for him to have a bad interaction with someone vaguely Indian and he’ll throw down a tariff.
Yeah, because tariffs are only reserved to large competitors on the world stage like, check notes, Canada?
Tariffs are reserved for those who tariff US goods.
It really helps if you pay enough attention to know what’s going on.
Read project 2025, it views India as the most aggregious.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm.
Edit: it’s not.
I came to the same conclusion.
Hahahahahahhahahahahaha

And Canada is?
Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China. Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).
What? No.
Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!
Enlighten us. What is the reason?

You seem to be operating under the assumption that Trump isn’t an over confident idiot with terrible ideas. Unfortunately for your narrative, he’s straight-up said that he wants to annex these places. So, Trump seriously believes that the USA can colonize Canada.

trump is deeply unserious.

You’re applying logic when logic doesn’t apply. Why would he tarriff Canada?
Because Canada tariffs us.
US: Imposes tariffs on Canadian goods because reasons
Canada: Retaliates by imposing tariffs on US goods
You: We are doing it because they are doing it!
What tariffs are Canada imposing on the U.S. that is not retaliatory?
