Canada is always on Trump’s mind.
Canada is on Trump’s list: how high up is anybody’s guess.
Canadians have for months relished the fact that their tensions with Donald J. Trump’s administration had taken a back seat to the flurry of geopolitical activity and military strikes.
They dreamed that Trump’s design of turning them into the 51st state has waned. But they were wrong.
After the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and the pressure talk of seizing Greenland, fears have gripped Canada again, forcing canucks to take seriously Trump’s designs on Canada.
Bloomberg reported:
“A blunt column in Canada’s largest national newspaper went viral this week warning of the possibility that Trump may use ‘military coercion’ against the country. The authors’ advice: Learn from Finland’s defenses against Russia. Expand the civil defense force. Build a national drone strategy, inspired by Ukraine’s example. And think about the unthinkable.
‘It’s all about changing the calculus’, said Thomas Homer-Dixon, one of the authors and a Canadian academic who researches global security. ‘If there is an attempt to use military coercion against us, it needs to be clear that it’s going to be enormously costly’.”
The CBC is pushing the Trump fear card on Canadians.

Canadian humour website ‘The Beaverton’ on the present fears.
“While Trump’s actions have unnerved leaders around the globe, Canadians have particular reason to worry. After all, with Greenland, Trump and his advisers are seeking control — even raising the possibility of military action — of a territory that is democratic, strategically located in the Arctic, and part of NATO. Canada is all of those things, too.”
PM Carney was elected ‘vowing to stand up to Trump’, but has since avoided antagonizing him.
Carney called for the US to respect the sovereignty of Greenland and Denmark, without commenting on Trump’s designs on Canada.
“Canada’s military isn’t built for a more hostile world. Its regular and primary reserve forces total fewer than 100,000 people to defend the second-largest land mass on Earth. Natural disasters and other duties, such as a NATO mission in Latvia where Canadian soldiers are stationed, stretch its resources.”
