“Did Canada really win the War of 1812? Think about where we’d be if it had gone the other way.”
This scenario was raised by someone who recently dared to reconsider the possibilities amidst the noise from U.S. President Donald Trump about annexing Canada. Noise, because that is what most hear, rather than the actual substance of the matter.
Anyone old enough to have fine-tuned a radio dial to get a clear sound knows the difference between noise and signal, the difference between hissing static or hearing intelligible sounds. So if we dial in on Trump’s noise about Canada becoming the 51st state, what message might we discover?
The truth is far more shocking than seeing a different flag on Parliament Hill. Further, the truth is not going to be told by government-funded media that we once considered reliable. Now, they’re mostly noise.
In the War of 1812, the expansionist-minded Americans decided to take over the British colony of Canada. U.S. Secretary of War, William Eustis stated, “We can take the Canadas without soldiers, we only have to send officers into the province and the people…will rally around our standard.” Thomas Jefferson added that taking Canada will be a “mere matter of marching.”
It was not so simple. The Americans marched north and set York (now Toronto) afire. In retaliation, the British torched much of the U.S. Capitol, including what is now known as the White House. Three bloody years later, the two sides signed a treaty and went home, the national borders largely unchanged.
The fire of war had forged Canadian pride and a determined nationalism. But most significantly, American President James Munroe decided that as long as the British colony to the north did not pose a threat to the upstart American republic, it would be tolerated as a neighbour.
To that end, he created the Munroe Doctrine, declaring that any foreign interference in the Western Hemisphere would be considered hostile action. The U.S. reserved the right to neutralize any such threat.
The cross-border issues today are of a different nature. This battle denotes a deeply insidious conflict between Indo-Chinese subterfuge and North American security.
Blaming trade imbalances, which Trump ostensibly offers as a reason for imposing punitive tariffs, is mostly tactical on his part. And Trump isn’t musing about making Canada the 51st state primarily because he wants our vast store of natural resources, contrary to the deliberate blathering of our international embarrassment, Justin Trudeau.
So, what is the real message encoded in Trump’s bombastic noise?
Independent, investigative journalists like Sam Cooper are cracking open and exposing the real issues that are triggering Trump’s postulations to make Canada the 51st state. Cooper’s revelations are chilling, as shared on the Daniela Cambone Show. (available online).
Canada, Cooper states, is dangerously compromised by deeply embedded corruption, according to his long-term contacts in the highest levels of both law enforcement and government. These threats, largely originating from Chinese, transnational organized crime triads with links to the Chinese Communist Party, have infiltrated every level of government, bureaucracy, law enforcement, and even our intelligence agencies.
Under their influence, Canada has stealthily been suborned into a foreign-controlled narco-state. And while illegal narcotics production and distribution get the most attention, equally important is the astonishing scale of money laundering conducted through Canadian banks with the funds being funneled out of country and into Chinese bank accounts — by the billions.
In addition to drug money, the source of these illegally obtained funds is reportedly linked to the disappearance of billions of dollars from government-funded projects. Green slush funds? Inexplicable cost overruns in infrastructure and development? Untraceable government spending? Numerous organized crime triads are deeply involved, skimming off billions of taxpayer dollars.
Why does the Liberal government’s recent economic statement come to mind with its $60-billion deficit ending up 50 % worse than initially projected? How much of Canada’s debt is due to theft by organized crime?
If Cooper is correct, it becomes clear why governments would welcome the smoke screen of a tariff war rather than confront the systemic corruption in our institutions.
Would this explain why Canadian governments of every level and their paid off media accomplices have been diverting attention away from the Chinese organized crime problem and painting Trump as the threat? If the foreign takeover would be exposed and confronted, it could set off the ugliest chain of events in Canadian history.
We can observe the Liberals’ record of endless scandals. Will a change of government make any difference? With increasing evidence of foreign interference, can election outcomes be trusted? And with solid evidence that Trudeau met with a Chinese crime boss, what hope is there for an end to the fraudulent activity under the Liberal government? It’s far easier for the compromised RCMP to trample peaceful protestors than deal with organized crime of this magnitude.
Hostile, foreign influences have destabilized Canada and the threat this has created for the U.S. is what President Trump is covertly challenging. The danger is alive, and the Munroe Doctrine is not dead.
U.S. interests aside, we ignore these uncomfortable allegations at our own peril. The reality is that the enviable life we knew as Canadians is over unless someone is strong enough to take on the corruption that is destroying our once-great nation.
The solution is not simple. Canada, on its own, may lack the capability to counter this assault by embedded, far-east organized crime gangs. So buckle up, Canadians, we may be in for a protracted, undeclared war — if it is not already upon us.
Proud Canadians will continue to hoist a fresh red and white flag on Canada Day. Perceptive folks will not boo the American national anthem, but rather recognize the U.S. as a good neighbour.
Indeed, unless foreign interference and the bottomless corruption are cleaned up, Canadians will regret the day we burned the White House.
