The article discusses the alarming implications of President Trump's rhetoric about potentially making Canada the "51st state." While Americans may dismiss these threats, Canadians are left confronting a nightmare scenario where their neighbor, traditionally seen as a steadfast ally, becomes an adversary. Trump's trade war, coupled with historical integration efforts between the two nations, has left Canada vulnerable. Many Canadians worry about an American military threat as they recognize their past trust in U.S. intentions may have been misplaced, fundamentally altering perceptions of security and diplomacy.
An American military threat is Canada's worst nightmare. And Canada is unprepared precisely because it never considered the U.S. to be a potential threat.
Most Americans still don't believe it's a possibility, or simply haven't noticed their president's occupationist rhetoric, or can't imagine a world in which a neighbor they have been at peace with for 150 years is suddenly an enemy.
