Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating 51st state threats.

And they told CBC News that the most potent weapon wielded by the Trump administration to advance the cause of annexation would likely not be the intelligence agencies directed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.#

    Provide a single example of how it’s destabilizing Canada.

    Because it’s not. If anything it’s solidifying their national pride and identity.

      They have been covertly trying to destabilize Canada for years (The “Fuck Trudeau” movement had a lot of foreign support) but the recent change to overt methods has united the country and most likely saved us from a conservative fascist bootlicker as the next Prime Minister

        I honestly can’t wait to see next week’s polls. Watching PP sink to the bottom of the barrel brings such joy.

      Imagine someone in Canada wearing a MAGA hat in 2016. Now, people like Gretsky are doing it.

      It starts small like that. Then it grows. Trust me, I’ve been watching in horror from the inside. I have no idea how to change or stop it.

      I’m working on leaving.

        This is a very true comment. I think the world is dead soon. No one wants to take the warnings from people that have the experience of it.

        People should be planning for war.
