      My money is on Canada.

      • Nice, desirable natural resources like fresh water, lumber, and oil.
      • Plenty of non-immigrant immigrants to feed the legal slavery prison industrial complex.
      • Control over arctic trade passages.

      And he’s been laying the propaganda and groundwork for months now:

      • “joking” about Canada being the 51st state.
      • Claiming Canada is the source of illegally imported Fentanyl, despite overwhelming evidence that almost all of it comes from Mexico.
      • Harsher tariffs than other allied countries, using Fentanyl as the justification for it.
      • Factually incorrect statements about unfair and “illegal” trade restrictions imposed by Canada.
      • Claims about Canada “taking advantage” of the country in regards to national security and a trade deficit that ignores the population and GDP difference.

        Oh for sure - all the Trunp rhetoric is pretext for war on Canada. Luckily there’s quite a few things Americans don’t know about us - and we’re gonna keep it that way until the last possible minute.
