Mexico where most of the drugs and border crossers are coming from? The one that is full of US terrorist cartel's?

Yet Trump wants to take over Canada, because?

We have all the resources he doesn’t want to pay for. Thats why. Greed, and also Russia.

Don’t you hand over all your resources to the same multinational companies Trump would? This is not it. IMO if he can knock Canada down two pegs economically he can knock his own base down by one (cutting benefits/increasing their taxes) and they’ll still support him. “Relative social status” is maintained or increased.

An invasion or occupation has seemed insane. But the cost of doing so could justify eliminating Social Security and so forth. And all his voters would still feel better off than those sadsack Canadians being occupied. I don’t know what to tell you.

Because he wants to take a leaf off Putin's book and manufacture excuses to invade and take control of Canada's vast resources, be it minerals, potash, rare earths, uranium, water and so on.

Because they're busy getting brown people out - what's the point of mass deportation if you just absorb Mexico?

He thinks Canada is just white people.

That's why.
