If there is one thing I can promise you, it’s that you don’t have to tell Canadians not to fall for it. Annexation is a non starter, there is literally no argument that could be given regardless of validity. The fact that any promises are obvious lies is wholly irrelevant.
I think what people don’t understand is how incredibly petty Canadians can be.
The Canadian population will accept things getting 25% worse for themselves personally if it means things get 5% worse for the people that inflicted it. With these terriffs, there is an asymmetry of effect… But there is also an asymmetry in the amount of pain that can be stomached by the populations as well.
If the two countries find themselves dragged into an “economic winter”, there is one population significantly more familiar and comfortable with the idea of riding out the winter.

I think in the age of one-liners (Twitter, tik tok, etc) people have gotten so fucking stupid that they have lost their ability to digest a nuanced take. If it takes more than two sentences for a fox news host to say any liberal position is 100% and perfectly undeniably the worst thing in the world, they’re “going woke” (the brain-dead MAGA catch-all for any position they don’t like but can’t actually articulate why). If a liberal merely explains in good faith a right wing position that they’re going to argue against, they’re “enlightened centerists” (the brain dead left wing catch-all for any discussion that isn’t ** immediately** a shrill cry of fascism)
To be extremely clear, Jon is still the smartest guy in the room, and it’s just that you’ve gotten a lot dumber in the last 10 years on your diet of twitter.
Just to head the idea off at the pass: there is no material version of “90 day fiance” permanent residency for Canada.
