I was unable to read that article as it seems to be an overseas subscription service.

However, I would answer the question by, No.

The idea of the USA subsuming Canada is merely one of Donald Trump's grandiose imperialist ambitions; and so far he has played those out by his attempt to control Iran, and seizure of Venezuela's oil-fields.

Alongside those we have his wanting Panama and Cuba, for no clear, logical reason other than American expansionism. Plus of course Greenland, but that so US firms can exploit its mineral reserves, not to help Greenland and Denmark but as with Venezuela, for taking by America.

Mr. Trump has only two years left as President, his abilities are fading, his support is fading even if support for the Republican Party is still strong. Any such take-over attempt would be a breach of NATO and of international law. I do not know how "popular" kidnapping foreign presidents and attacking Middle Eastern countries is among Americans, but even the most parochial and Right-wing of them are literally paying the price for these oil-based episodes.

There would likely be even less support for America to invade what is normally not just a neighbour but also a major ally and fellow NATO nation. Especially as the President has not, to my knowledge, explained why he wants to take it over.

Even if he tried, Trump's illegal, unplanned and ultimately doomed attempt to seize Iran has shown the world that America cannot merely take over other nations as its vassals. Yes, she did that to Venezuela. Venezuela is not Iran though. She is far weaker and poorer than Iran, not part of any military bloc, nowhere near any major military allies, and so far less able to defend herself. Even her oil is not particularly useful to America, by its natural properties.

Similarly with Cuba, which the USA has been steadily, deliberately impoverishing for years - but again Trump has given no logical explanation.


So I do not forecast the USA invading Canada, whatever Donald Trump and his bellicose War Secretary Peter Hegseth may say.

We came for the syrup and whisky and maybe some cookies.

If you mean mainland Canada, I don't see any chance of the US invading Canada...

If you mean some random Islands around Greenland or the Northwest Passage that America is attempting to claim, so America can claim the passage way is their right away, then I could see that happening. But tiny areas just so we can claim the sea passageway not big areas.

I doubt they could find Canada on a world map

I hope not

No but funding dissent inside Canada could happen.

unlikely

No I don't. He would probably get away with some gunboat diplomacy, and he's crazy enough to do it.

BBC.. enough said

The fact this idiocy is news worthy makes it even more ridiculous. They can say what they want about Trump but Carney isn't the brightest light bulb in the room.

No

This is so stupid in my mind as an American that loves my Canadian Neighbor's I will not even entertain the idea.

Nope....

Stirring the pot.... Just for fun

Carney is a histrionic a$$. THIS is what Nancy Pelosi used to do...throw a dramatic scene...so that the average person would believe it was real. Political drama is NOT real...but it CAN be expensive for the poor citizens who have to pay for it.

Nope! Stop believing the leftist propaganda.

Maybe I'm not up to date BUT

Does not Canada own the US !

Nope, none.

No

Low to none but rather than do anything right it’s a distraction campaign by a post retirement politician to keep focus on something other than the treason being committed
