Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that President Trump is no longer interested in annexing Canada, according to a recent interview. This declaration follows similar statements from the US ambassador to Canada, suggesting the annexation discussions are over. Carney also acknowledged Trump’s influence in encouraging higher Canadian defense spending and the potential for decisive action in the Middle East, although the priority there remains establishing a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. Finally, Carney praised Iran’s “proportionate” response to a US military action.

Carney says Trump is no longer interested in annexing Canada, huh? Well, that’s what they’re saying today, anyway. Knowing the man, and his… unique approach to, well, everything, I’m taking this with a hefty grain of salt. We’ve all seen how quickly his interests can shift, haven’t we? I mean, he might be distracted by something shiny at the moment, or maybe he’s just onto the next “big thing,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean the Canada talk is permanently off the table. Let’s be honest, he could change his mind again by next Tuesday.
This whole thing feels like a carefully orchestrated distraction, doesn’t it? It’s almost as if someone noticed a potential PR problem or a little scandal brewing, and then, *poof*, out comes the “annexing Canada” bombshell. It’s a pretty good bet for grabbing attention in the news cycle if he ever needs it. Suddenly, everyone’s focused on that, and maybe whatever else was going on quietly fades into the background. It’s a well-worn tactic, a classic misdirection play.
One day he might be all about it, the next, he’s onto something else. Maybe he’s just forgotten Canada even exists. The guy just doesn’t seem to have much of a memory. If you asked him about it, he’d probably deflect, call anyone asking questions “nasty people”, and tell them nobody watches them anymore, and those that do should lose their licenses. It is almost as if it’s all made up as he goes along. This is probably a good thing since the relationship between the two countries has already gone to hell.
He seems to have a hard time staying on one topic for very long, jumping from one thing to another as if they’re just random thoughts. This is his way of leaving his mark, you know? He wants to be remembered, even if it means stirring up controversy. It seems like he’s got a new shiny object now – the Israel-Iran conflict – so Canada isn’t as interesting right now. Maybe the oligarchs have told him to stop talking about tariffs and tanking the economy, and offered him a few jet fighters to play with so he would stop babbling about tariffs and tanking their economy.
If you ask me, the whole idea of annexing Canada was never really about a serious strategic plan. It was just… well, Trump being Trump. It’s about keeping the press talking about *that* rather than whatever else was going on that was most likely illegal and/or self-serving. It felt like the 51st state nonsense was a distraction, and while he was at it he might have been screwing up America.
The damage is already done, though. The insults are already out there. Canadians aren’t going to forget this any time soon, and there’s likely to be boycotts and travel restrictions in place for a while. It’s not an easy thing to just brush aside, this kind of thing takes time.
Honestly, it feels a bit like he’s just playing a game. He probably does not even remember where Canada is. The big question is, what does *President* Miller want? Trump’s interest could come back any day. He’s got a new ball to juggle, and right now, it’s Iran.
Don’t forget, he will probably forget about this too. It’s TACO time!
