We could prove decisively in front of the world that there is much, much more fentanyl coming in to Canada from the US than the other way around (we have), we could broadcast films of guns confiscated with both Canadian and US border guards testifying to the reality (we’ve done that, too), we could counter every single lie with proof of the truth and it would not matter one bit, because those who are going to believe us already do, and those who say they don’t really mean that whatever the Emperor says he’s wearing, he is wearing, whether I can see it or not.

We’ll never reach the die-hard Trump supporters, true, but it’s possible that some Canadians could be swayed by the firehose of misinformation coming from the American side and we need to counter that whenever we can.

I’ve been hearing Americans “joke” about Canada becoming the 51st state all my life. The fact that there’s a country on the same land-mass as them, who’s people largely speak the same language as them and who has a similar culture to them but doesn’t want to be part of their country runs counter to the “Greatest Country in the World” propaganda that they’ve been indoctrinated with since childhood.

Most of the time, however, the politicians elected to high office are educated enough to know why annexing Canada would be a bad idea, but Trump’s mentality never evolved beyond the schoolyard, and those are the ideas that he’s bringing to the White House.
