In a recent MSNBC segment, Canadian journalist Stephen Marche discussed the increasingly serious consideration of potential conflict between Canada and the United States, sparked by rising tensions during Donald Trump's presidency. He noted that fears have emerged from Trump's rhetoric about annexing Canada and recent tariff policies that have strained bilateral relations. Marche highlighted that a growing number of Americans view Canada as an enemy, urging Canada to prepare defensively. This conversation marks a notable shift in discourse about a previously unimaginable scenario of war between these neighboring countries.
"I mean, he talks about annexing us on a regular basis. I mean, somewhere around 2% of the American population actually want to do this, but you know, at this point in its history, you know the American people can obviously be convinced of anything, right?"
"Thatâs out of the playbook of authoritarian governments around the world. And so Canada really does need to think about protecting ourselves from the United States, and making sure that weâre not just a snack."
