In „Lament for a Nation,“ George Grant delivered a profound critique of Canada’s political landscape, accusing the Liberal government of the 1960s of compromising national sovereignty by aligning too closely with American interests. He argued that the decision to allow nuclear weapons on Canadian soil marked a significant capitulation, reflecting a broader trend of economic and military integration with the U.S. Grant contended that this integration began with the 1940 Ogdensburg Agreement and accelerated through various Liberal policies, ultimately undermining Canada’s political independence. His insights remain strikingly relevant today as Canada grapples with its identity and autonomy in the face of American dominance, particularly under the Trump administration, which has raised questions about the nature of Canada’s defense and economic relationships. By challenging Canadians to reconsider the implications of their dependence on the U.S., Grant’s call for a radical rethinking of Canada’s economic policies serves as a crucial reminder of the ongoing struggle for true national sovereignty and the need for a cohesive national identity that transcends mere economic integration.
You cannot annex 40 million people and walk away scott free. You will face incredible resistance at fanatical levels bogging down in brutal conflict like you see Russia face in Ukraine. and create social hatred against oppression by the people you annex. look at Ireland and UK.
You give your global opponents moral justification to do the same with much greater potential. China going in to annexation mode has a lot more to gain than the USA such as gaining for China energy and food independence. A key US advantage will be lost.
Such action would disintegrate the Western alliance and reform EU and Europe as a new opponent of the USA, a 3rd major power in total opposition. The West is able to maintain global Leadership only united. China will overtake the USA militarily and economically very quickly in such a reality.
The USA may not be more capable than Canada at defending and utilizing the Arctic due to having to finance and somehow integrate 40 million people would drain the US pocket book and leave no funds for the Arctic so it’s a loose- loose situation.
Anyone who thinks that America is realistically gonna invade and annex Canada doesn’t know anything about American politics
My boss is constantly talking about how Canada is a failed state, it will break up into smaller countries soon, imminently, says there’s no investment in business.
He also said they want to be annexed.
Yeah, don’t think so, bud. Canadians are proud to be Canadian. They may face future turmoil but it sounds like fox News talking with my boss’s mouth.
