Did we forget the whole "join us, voluntarily or not" rhetoric coming from the White House? That language alone was a threat of war. Actual war. Like, with tanks and shit.

Carney is engaging in disaster capitalism, and must be called out for that. But let's not forget the disaster part.

Well I'm just glad that someone is mentioning disaster capitalism and that really is my main point to the premise of this post about centralization of power.

My "war" in quotations was about the economic war. Trump's posturing is fucked up, aggressive, and definitely threatening; and he was betting on Canada buying weapons from the US for protection like Denmark is doing.
