Their military might doesn't even match several US states.

The states national guard could defeat Canada. 400k plus in Army and Air National Guard. Plus there are reserves. Better trained likely than Canadians.

Then if you wanted to make it a blood bath throw in regular Army, Air Force, Marines and Navy.

Was on vacation so getting caught up. But I really don't get what Canada is thinking. They have no leverage. They're just trying to act tough it seems so as not to fracture their own citizen from either leaving or dissolving the country. My BIL is actively in process of becoming a US citizen.

Just went on a cruise and a heavy % of travelers are from Canada. Probably 5%. They don't even want to be in Canada. Never looked into it but I think Canada pays the same airfare fees to get into the US. Places like Turks and Caicos or Dominican charge something around $150/passenger round trip. That's just fees, not the actual airfare.

The Canadian snowbirds drive to their destination if staying in the US. The others that fly are going to cruises. Hit them with higher fees on flights. Another kick to the nuts. They love cruising for whatever reason. You'd have to do it for all nations though and that could hurt tourism.

Amazing to watch Canadians somehow manage to sprout more of a patriotic spine when Trump memes on them than they ever did for the last 15 years of their economy and culture being literally and metaphorically raped by infinity Indian UberEats drivers.

I've said it once I will say it again: Canadians have no positive identity construct, where they have defined themselves by what they are.

They have a negative identity vacuum where they have defined themselves by what they are not - and the only thing the Canadian knows for sure is that he is not American.

Time to watch the Southpark Movie again - "Blame Canada!"

It's not even a real country anyway.

Yet another reason that Carney is a globohomo bankster:

https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-checkmate-how-canadas-quiet

Rewind a bit. While Trump was gearing up his trade war machine, Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister, wasn’t just sitting in Ottawa twiddling his thumbs. He’d been quietly increasing Canada’s holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds—over $350 billion worth by early 2025, part of the $8.53 trillion foreign countries hold in U.S. debt. On the surface, it looked like a safe play, a hedge against economic chaos. But it wasn’t just defense. It was a loaded gun.

Carney didn’t stop there. He took his case to Europe. Not for photo ops, but for closed-door meetings with the EU’s heavy hitters—Germany, France, the Netherlands. Japan was in the room too, listening closely. The pitch was simple: if Trump went too far with tariffs, Canada wouldn’t just retaliate with duties on American cars or steel. It would start offloading those Treasury bonds. Not a fire sale—nothing so crude. A slow, steady bleed. A signal to the markets that the U.S. dollar’s perch wasn’t so secure.

How? By buying US products? If Canada discounts the bonds, the US could just purchase them and retire the debt. Canada offloading the bonds at discount would also lower interest rates, which is another Trump goal.

I'd be surprised if Canadians own 2-3% of US Gov Bonds.

They just sold a ton of US-denominated bonds last month.

Canada is basically a large US state in rough power.

It's the opposite of what you claim.

If bond prices decline, bond yields rise on the secondary markets (where bonds are traded, not sold by governments); i.e., you're trying to sell a bond yielding 4% at par value (100% of the price of the bond), except no one will buy the bond because the yield is too low. So you offer to sell the bond at a discount to par value, say 80%. Now, relative to what a buyer on the secondary market would pay, the bond yield that the gub'ment has to offer to be competitive is 5%.

A process like this occurring multiple times in the secondary markets is what dictates how much of a yield bond buyers will demand of the US Treasury for new issued bonds. The UST doesn't want a failed Treasury action (yes, banks bid for the bonds) where they can't sell all their bonds, so they have to "read the room" and up the rate to guarantee all bonds are sold. This is how rising secondary market yields influence the yields on newly issued bonds.

Granted the Fed can lowball and all but force the banks to buy the lower yielding bonds, but this only works up to a point. It failed in the late 1970's and early 1980's, and it may well be in the process of failing again.

This is why the 15% non-callable 30-year bonds the US issued in the early 1980's were a hurricane tailwind to the actuarial companies. As interest rates declined, the prices of those bonds grew by leaps and bounds over par. This is what made PIMCO.

Yep, dumping bonds raises rates. Whether the big Treas dump which caused rate spike and subsequent Donnie's u-turn was intentional or accidental the cat is now out of the bag.

Federal Elections in Canada today.

But because of Canada's anti-free speech ethos, reporters are forbidden from announcing results in the maritime/eastern provinces until polls close in British Columbia.

It's an actual felony to do so, I believe.

I can see why that is a good idea, as not to discourage voter turnout in the west.

So, Canada decided to elect the biggest globalist they could find. I say tariff the hell out of Canada.

Canada stands no chance. I don't care who is in charge. Their economy is based off exporting to the US. I say skip tariffs and just stop trading with them. Nothing crosses the border including humans. We could survive no problem. They'd have to export everything across oceans at a high price that no one would be willing to pay.

Just because Trump mocked them you don't make a stupid decision. Without a gun being fired we could wipe Canada out in one month closing all trade and the border. Oil, goods, tourism and their GDP goes down 40% easy. Social programs collapse.

We'd lose some snow birds, but most Canadians go to the Caribbean for two week vacations.

Or someone grabbed him by the pussy?

Pollievre isn't a conservative. He's a liberal pretending to be conservative. That said, the Liberals, NDP, and Greens are outright communist.

The only choice Canadians had for a better future was PPC (Maxime Bernier), but of course the standard marginalization playbook gets used against him:

- No air time
- Pretend he doesn't exist
- Smear as crazy of racist if he's ever brought up

And it works, because people are brain-dead morons who never question anything.

Carney is a Globalist toilet installation with the usual Bolshevik fake election dressing. If Trump can restore at least Federal elections without election fraud, he will have done one of the greatest services to the Republic since the Founding Fathers. The Dems and their KommieKunt amplifications and hyperrealities will organically disappear.

I know the Canadians aren't all completely brain dead, because of the vigorous protests, but what about their own election frauds? Will us curing our election frauds spread?

Isn't expecting Canada to elect a conservative like expecting California to?

Well, elect is a loaded word. California and the entire West Coast are under the thumb of CCP election fraud up and down. The politicians are KommieKunt ritualized humiliations. I never thought I would witness this 'soft' invasion of Communism, and one would hopium it can be reversed.

Word is that after 'proving' the foreign invasion (act of war) in the 2020 election, Trump will force the voter rolls for Federal Elections to be rebooted with valid ID, paper ballots, and local counting in a single (maybe two) day.

That would mean that in California, there will be the Communist CCP election fraud elections for locals, with the Federal elections with recast voting verification and same day ballots at entirely different locations. TWO different elections, one with identification and 'in person' showing up at the Federal election site with paper ballots hand counted, and the other CCP usual mail in chicanery and rigged machines, printers etc. for the State with elections called for the state election frauds.

If that doesn't get people's attention about what has been going on, nothing will. At least, it will organically wash out a good bit of the corrupt Federal toilet installations in Congress, which is a good start.

Tulsi Gabbard told Trump that the voter rolls are hopelessly and irreversibly corrupted, with the Soros local fecals running interference, so the only solution is the reboot across the board with voters re-registering with valid IDs starting with Federal elections. Apparently, this will be spinning out over the next months and allowing at least a year to implement the new Federal election system before 2026.

100% in 4 of the admittedly lowest population provinces - but still - MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD.

That is statistically impossible, unless you're rounding up to the nearest 5%.

"Carney, you got essplainin to do . . ."

Looks like Alberta incoming, whether a State, a territory of USA, or a sovereign nation with economic partnership. One way to excise the KommieKunt cancer and election fraud.

No. This is all planned out. Including Trump helping Carmey win. This Alberta thing is Phase 2.

It creates a bullshit constitutional crisis in Canada that will give the LPs a pretext to overhaul Canadian infrastructure regs to 'keep' Alberta in the Confederation.

And that is what Trump wants.

Could be. Allegations have been on the alternative media that Carney is there to arrange the 'North American Unification Plan' aka Canada and USA merging as a sphere for the Globalists, which seems to be Trump's as well.

Question is, is Trump's plan independent of the Globalists or are are the Carney-Globalista plans the same?

Alberta is making serious noises that they want out from under the Ottawa KommieKunt boat anchor. They also know the elections as is the modern custom were rigged.

Trump's newest personal fluffer has arrived:

Uh huh.
