It's fascinating to me that a group of individuals in another country read some history novels and think they understand Canada and Canadians today - to the point they suggest actively interfering in the domestic politics and elections through intelligence operations and the like.

They have cause and effect backward.

Canadians generally view Americans as friends, long time allies, and we generally respect (and appreciate the differences between our countries (things like maternity leave, gun laws / safety, and public healthcare)... But, we don't generally hold hard feelings against the Americans, especially the average individual - at least until they make overt threats against us, like in this article. It's the Americans like the authors of this post causing the problem.

Can we quit the aggressive stupidity, and move forward in a respectful way to build a prosperous future for all of us?

This is chilling stuff:

The United States can no longer afford to dismiss Canada as a benign neighbor given its history as an anti-American entity and the trajectory of its political landscape over the last forty-three years. Provocative rhetoric from prominent officials, coupled with the subversion of Canadian institutions by rival interests and the erosion of shared democratic values demonstrate its threat to U.S. national security. Canada’s post-1982 constitutional framework is unlikely to be revised and ensures that the country’s path is set in this detrimental manner. Whether the U.S. prioritizes countering Russia, China, or a strategy of retrenchment, Canada’s domestic instability and anti-American undercurrents demand attention. Ignoring Canadian affairs guarantees that our once-reliable ally will continue to undermine U.S. interests from within the Western bloc. To safeguard our security, the United States must recalibrate our approach to include targeted intelligence operations, diplomatic pressure, structural revisions, and possibly support for regional separatism.

The parts of our intelligence community which handle Chinese Communist affairs should create sub-departments addressing Canada specifically. They would address Chinese Communist influence at the federal level by publicizing the ties of MPs, Native American chiefs, and Court Party factions (particularly any who oppose energy infrastructure development). At least several agents should be tasked with developing relationships with Native American tribal leadership in the western provinces. Tribes such as the Wet’suwet’en and the Shishalh which have already developed ties with the People’s Republic and have de facto sovereignty in provincial legal systems should be of particular focus. Unreliable tribal chiefs have been and can be replaced, particularly when their rivals are backed by wealthier interests.

1 Canada has First Nations, Inuit and Metis people ... not Native Americans.

2 What's the source of this crap?

• Tribes such as the Wet’suwet’en and the Shishalh which have already developed ties with the People’s Republic

3 America is pretty fucking arrogant to think they can manipulate and bribe First Nations people to do their bidding

That history synopsis is completely imaginary.

Canada is growing distant to us? Better write an article about how Canada should be decimated - that'll help

Unbelievable.

Americans are always simultaneously victims and saviours.

And once they justify their victimhood, anything is justified in retaliation. Like another country that shall remain unnamed. Their fundamental psychological foundation is fear.
