Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. I am going to mention Canada again. I know we’re getting tired of this subject because, after all, Canada is our closest ally, closest friend, the country that is most like the United States, or so we’ve been told. But [Prime Minister] Mark Carney is doing things that we have never seen or heard before in Canada.
His latest is he tells a reporter that, yes, he has thought of preparing the Canadian military to prepare for an invasion by the United States. That is absolutely insane when the United States has protected, since World War II, the entire North American continent.
Canada has never had missiles launched into its airspace. It has never had its claims, extravagant though they are, in the Northwest Passage and the Arctic challenged by China or Russia or any hostile power due to the U.S. military.
The idea that the protector of Canada, the protector who allowed Canada to disarm, is preparing an invasion is absurd, and it’s an insult.
And Carney is doing this, once again, to jack up opinion in Canada for a new nationalism to avoid the great dissatisfaction in Alberta and Quebec, and especially to try to influence the midterms in the United States and to otherwise mask his unpopular socialist globalist agenda.
