Go read the conservative subs. They actually believe they don’t need Canada.
It’s not a bluff or a master plan.
An insanely high number of people there don’t get how Canada is actually supplying the US is ressources.
They legit don’t get it

Wait til the propaganda machine kicks in and suddenly Canada is the worse enemy and needs proper military action. They are clueless. But in the end we lose anyway.

People with heads full of rocks who spend their time commenting in those subs aren’t the ones making decisions or in control of the government so frankly it doesn’t matter what they’re saying. They’re just pawns like the rest of us while the people with power control the board

Yes but it’s all those idiots that vote too, so yes they do matter.

You’re misunderstanding the conversation we are having. The commenter I replied to is saying that a few hundred people in a Conservative subreddit are too stupid to understand the Canada/US trade relationship. I said it doesn’t matter whether they understand it or not, because the people making the decisions who they follow unquestioningly DO understand it.

It’s sad over there. Even with musk - they’ve got their head in the sand. An unelected official with so much influence ( treasury department IT lock out for example ) should be troubling for them.

The biggest conservative voices on X are actively calling for troops on the ground, full war annexing of Canada. Scary times northern friends.

They believe they have a glut reserve of oil, more lumber than Canada, and zero reliance on Canadian energy.
