No one knows where Donald Trump got the notion of annexing Canada. It hasn’t been seriously suggested by any significant figure in American politics for at least a century. There has been next to no take-up of the proposal, even among his MAGA followers.
But the underlying premises – the idea that America must have complete dominion over the Western Hemisphere; that Canada is less a friendly ally than a troublesome appendage; that relations between the two countries should be based not on mutual benefit, but on dominance and despoliation – these are everywhere in the MAGA universe.
If I had to choose an overlord the USA is far better than Carney and his ChiCom pals.
“Do you believe man has walked on the moon?”
“I believe men have walked many places.”
“But on the moon?”
“As I say, men have done a lot of walking.”
“So you do think man has walked on the moon?”
“I have to go.”
