Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating 51st state threats.

And they told CBC News that the most potent weapon wielded by the Trump administration to advance the cause of annexation would likely not be the intelligence agencies directed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.#

    Except it’s accidentally stabilizing it. Source am a progressive Canadian living in a (normally) regressive Province. Not like Alberta regressive but still surrounded by Oligarchs.

      European here, very curious about getting a regressive-progressive map of Canada, if you can spare the time.

    Provide a single example of how it’s destabilizing Canada.

    Because it’s not. If anything it’s solidifying their national pride and identity.

    Lol the CIA has clandestine operations in practically every country on Earth, and even in China where they failed to set up shop properly and get caught every now and then.

    The funny thing is Trump is seemingly throwing away all that covert influence and power for public clowning, which is why people think the opposite might happen if the US gives up its major leverage.
