Actually pretty much that. I think his idea, or the ideas of the Wormtongues in his ear, is to cause so much uncertainty that it causes an economic panic in Canada, and to leverage that economic panic or even crash as a negotiating tool for annexation or colonization.
Mafia diplomacy in action. "Wow, it looks like you're having a hard time of it. We can cut you in on our deals, get you outta the hole, but you gotta give us control of your rackets first" - except I'm positive we'll simply leave Canada hanging on that first part, just like we tried to do with Ukraine.
Which is a stupid plan, since Canada has the rest of the world to keep them afloat while they try to hold us under the bath water for electing Krasnov
Yeah ok, that's a good explanation. That's what Trudeau said too.
It seems more like to generate animosity from Canada than a willingness to be annexed.
I think this whole caper has given Canada's progressive party a bump though? So that's nice.
