Peter "Prison Snitch" Navarro: Tone down your rhetoric, Canada. We don't want trouble. Canada: Shut the f*ck up, eh?
Most Canadians have no idea who this guy is, and have zero patience for Trump and gang at this point. Drop the trade war.
Interesting. https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/articles-of-confederation#:~:text=Canada acceding to this confederation,agreed to by nine states. Articles of Confederation (1777) Article XI. Canada acceding to this confederation, and joining in the measures of the united states, shall be admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this union: but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine states.
The Continental Army’s failed attempt to take Quebec in 1775-76 put a damper on that. The US Constitution replaced this document.
Naaaa. We teamed up with the British and kicked your asses in the French-Indian War. Took Quebec among other places. Then we kicked Britain's ass a few years later. Trump is a student of history and he wants Canada back since like the Panama Canal, we gave it to you.
"Between 1758 and 1760, the British military launched a campaign to capture French Canada. They succeeded in capturing territory in surrounding colonies and ultimately the city of Quebec (1759). The following year the British were victorious in the Montreal Campaign in which the French ceded Canada in accordance with the Treaty of Paris (1763). France also ceded its territory east of the Mississippi to Great Britain, as well as French Louisiana west of the Mississippi River to its ally Spain in compensation for Spain's loss to Great Britain of Spanish Florida (Spain had ceded Florida to Britain in exchange for the return of Havana, Cuba). France's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, confirming Great Britain's position as the dominant colonial power in northern America. " _______________________________________________ Then we kicked Britain's ass and became the dominant power of North America. You might as well have been the 14th Colony. No worries, a 51 star American flag has already been designed.
Americans today often lack a real understanding of just how small the Colonies were in population and size through much of U.S. history. The idea of the US as a long term superpower seems to have burned those history lessons out of many heads. In 1776, the total population of the 13 colonies was only about 2.5 million, including 500,000 enslaved people, roughly the same as modern-day Houston. The U.S. industrial revolution would have been significantly weaker without the discovery of rich copper deposits in Montana, which provided a crucial, cheap, resource for electrification and industry. After the US lost in 1812, as still part of the British Empire, Canada was always a power the U.S. had to respect. The British captured Washington, D.C., in 1814 and burned the White House and Capitol in retaliation for American attacks in Canada. That's a blindspot in many a brain. Until World War II, the U.S. remained a strong regional power but was not yet a dominant global force. Then came the petrodollar reserve currency.. Well that's another story Sorry, just doing a mental refresh of my history there. Helps keep the dementia away
