For those who do not know what the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 is, I suggest you brush up on your history very quickly. Because the Donald Trump shouting of the 51st state and the acquisition of Greenland are far closer than most of us would like to think. Canada, Latin America, and South America had better wake up fast because we not only have a leader of the USA, but we have a megalomaniac who is also the holder of the most significant supply of nuclear weapons, as well as the largest stockpile of chemical and biological weapons.
Maduro was regarded by many as an authoritarian leader in Latin America. However, the invasion of Venezuela during the Trump administration, along with the proposed occupation, has been criticized as a violation of international law as well as an overreach of executive authority under the US Constitution.
Currently, numerous world leaders are exercising considerable caution in their statements, primarily due to concerns about potential responses from the Trump administration. I am particularly taken aback by Marc Carney's reaction to this development, given Canada's central position within Donald Trump's sphere of influence and its likely inclusion among his priorities.
I am equally, if not more, concerned by Pierre Poilievre's response; however, I am not entirely surprised, given his association with what is often referred to as "Maple Maga." He may lack a comprehensive understanding of global geopolitics and its history. Furthermore, his actions suggest a greater focus on political alliances rather than on considering the immediate international consequences of this situation.
This is not the moment to retreat, especially since that's precisely what Trump is counting on. He epitomizes a schoolyard bully, so the most effective response is to stand firm and refuse to back down. Giving in to him and his administration would be an act of surrender. Canada must remain resolute and consistently demonstrate our true character without hesitation.
