My point is the Americans don’t need to exercise hard power over Canada because Canada is already part and parcel with American imperialism in the form of the Anglo-American empire. These little spats over tariffs matter little in the overall geopolitical scheme of things and are a.useful distraction for the masses. Also, Canada was very involved with Iraq. Canadians commanded naval flotillas in the Persian Gulf and Canadian special forces participated in various operations.
Sure, and that’s why it’s very stupid for Trump to talk about it, because it would be stupid and pointless to do. It would upset a lot of people despite practically changing very little
For us though, it’s useful propaganda. “Hey maybe the country that keeps talking about invading and annexing us actually isn’t our ally and we should consider them a threat” is pretty convincing
