This is straight out of the same playbook Imperial Japan used to justify invasion of China and Imperial Russia used to justify the invasion of Ukraine.
Trump will be claiming Albertans are ‘persecuted’ and require U.S military protection next.
Canada, take note - unity is strength.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Matt Goodwin says this is "a chance for the hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying people," such as his boss, Nigel Farage, who doesn't do his job in parliament, lied about why he avoided constituency work, admitted to breaking 17 laws last week alone, and still faces questions about tax avoidance.
