The United States considers Canada to be an unused extension of its mainland, much like a piece of barren, fallow land. People from various regions of the world take refuge in this land, enjoy the benefits of a welfare country, but can never truly become Canadian. Even among politicians, the same mindset prevails—enjoy the benefits, but there is no need to be nationalistic for the state. Instead of assimilating into Canada’s mainstream, people are encouraged to retain their cultural identities, eat, drink, and sleep.
In 1867, the then British Parliament created the state of Canada through the British North America Act, uniting the provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec, and Ontario into a single confederation. Later, provinces like British Columbia and Manitoba gradually joined the Canadian Federation. As a result, Canada was initially established as a parasitic country dependent on the United States through commercial and military agreements. However, there was no foresight that this confederation might face the fate of post-1992 Russia.
While Russia managed to maintain control over the USSR’s dissolution through its military power, Canada will not be able to do the same in the future—many have warned about this. The wealthy, French-speaking province of Quebec has repeatedly attempted to secede through referendums, but due to a mere 2% shortfall in support, it could not become an independent country. Canada had ample time to utilize its vast land and natural resources to establish itself as a productive, militarily strong, self-sufficient nation. However, immigrant politicians in Canada have treated it as the world’s charity box.
It almost became their moral obligation to take care of the world’s oppressed people. That’s why Elon Musk, after immigrating from South Africa to Canada, eventually moved to the United States at the age of 23, where his talent was recognized. He recently called Canada a “fake” country for this very reason. If Canada had been able to utilize his talent, Tesla would have been a Canadian product today. Surprisingly, Canada does not have any global brands like Apple or Google that it can sell to the world, despite being a cradle of scientific research. As a result, even the younger generation of Canadians lacks patriotism.
My two university-going sons sometimes say they will move to the United States after completing their studies because working in Canada means lower pay and fewer opportunities. At the beginning of this year, the Canadian government conducted a survey on this issue. The report left Justin Trudeau shocked. It revealed that 43% of Canadians aged 18 to 44 supported Trump’s proposal that if Canada became the 51st state of the U.S., they could easily find jobs there, strengthening Canada’s economy. The survey also found that 31% of Canadians believe that sooner or later, Canada will become part of the U.S. Donald Trump, having learned of this, has started rubbing his hands with glee.
The United States no longer sees Canada as an abandoned wasteland next door. By utilizing Canada’s immense potential, the entire North and South America could become a powerful United States Federation. Even if Donald Trump doesn’t accomplish this, within a decade, Canada will no longer be an independent country but an autonomous state within the U.S. Security analysts predict that in the future, Canada will experience the rise of extremism similar to France. A radical religious group could exploit Canada’s low population density and turn it into a religious nation like Turkey.
With the successful use of human bombs, Canada could take the form of a terrorist state by 2060. The United States will not allow this to happen for security reasons. This is another reason why Canada’s sovereignty may not survive. Many countries in France and Europe are now deeply concerned about extremist human bombs, which are far more powerful than nuclear bombs. The U.S. wants to handle the situation in advance. Meanwhile, Canada’s former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has expressed a desire to deploy nuclear warheads as a countermeasure to Trump’s trade war.
Canada has requested France and Britain to supply those bombs. Imagine the madness! Just as Bangladesh hopes to use Pakistan’s nuclear bomb against India, Chrystia Freeland thinks she can fire nuclear artillery against the mighty United States. Canada could have done so if it had built its military sector as strong as the U.S. In 2022, Canada’s military budget was 27 billion, whereas the U.S. had a budget of 820 billion.
With only 63 fighter jets, how many hours could Canada last against the U.S., which has 6,000 fighter jets? The U.S.’s supersonic missiles, 15 times faster than the speed of sound, could turn all of Ontario into ashes in just five minutes. There is no alternative to military strength for maintaining global peace and balance. If Canada hadn’t been playing the role of a charitable benefactor for the past 100 years, the U.S. would have thought ten times before making such a threat.
