ANGUS: Trump's Threat to Canada is Deadly Serious
Charlie Angus / The Resistance - July 10, 2026
EXCERPT: "On March 4, 2025, Prime Minister Trudeau held an extraordinary press conference. He was joined by Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and Finance Minister Dominic Leblanc. You could see on their faces that they were rattled.
The Prime Minister didn’t say exactly what kind of threat had been made, but it was clearly serious enough for him to break all diplomatic niceties and bring the case to the Canadian people.
Washington, he told Canadians, was determined to force “a total collapse of the Canadian economy” because it “makes it easier to annex us.”
Trudeau’s anger was evident. He accused Trump of threatening America’s most loyal ally while aligning American interests with the “lying, murderous dictator” Vladimir Putin. But then he did something Trump never expected – he vowed to fight back.
The PM announced a counter-tariff war targeting $155 billion in American products. The move would plunge North America into economic crisis and have massive ramifications, but the Prime Minister rallied Canadians by reminding them that, despite the threat and the economic hard times that were sure to follow, he was confident Canadians would hold the line.
“When it comes to defending our great nation, there is no price we all aren’t willing to pay.”
Trump taco’d but his rage against Canada smouldered. . . . "
