Friday Focus: Trump’s plan to weaken Canada so he can annex it
Rudyard and Janice start today’s show discussing a New York Times article that details a phone conversation between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump, during which it is seriously suggested by the Americans that the two countries revise the boundary that separates them. Trump wants access to our resources, including water and critical minerals. Let’s call this what it is: an old-fashioned imperialist attempt by a superior power to exploit and extract resources from a weaker country. Coupled with the constant threat of tariffs, Trump’s long-term plan is to weaken us and then annex us. Janice and Rudyard agree: we are at economic war and this is a defining moment for our country. It’s time to reorganize, embrace our national pride, and not let this crisis go to waste.
