On December 12, 2025, American commentator Tucker Carlson delivered a series of explicit, uninterrupted statements during a live interview with Matt Walsh that collectively amount to an open endorsement of coercive action against Canada. In the span of roughly three minutes, Carlson engaged in an unprecedented narrative assault on Canadian sovereignty and legitimacy, asserting that:

  • Canada is “not even a country” – overtly delegitimizing Canada’s status as a sovereign nation.

  • The Canadian government is murdering “tens of thousands” of citizens each year – accusing Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program of essentially mass state murder, including of children, and “harvesting the organs” from those killed.

  • The U.S. should consider invading and occupying Canada on human rights grounds – explicitly framing a hypothetical military intervention as morally justified, and repeatedly insisting “I’m not joking even a tiny bit” to underline the seriousness of his advocacy.

  • Canada is “way worse than Maduro” and even “worse than China” – claiming Canada’s alleged crimes outstrip those of Venezuela’s Maduro regime and the Chinese government, thus positioning Canada among the world’s most egregious human rights violators.

Yeah, he's been on this anti-Canada kick since near the end of his Fox News career. Word was, he'd made a "movie" for airing on Fox News that urged an invasion because Trudeau was a communist. The sooner this propagandist is relegated to the wastebin of history, the better

Jamil Javani created the group Protect Christians Canada in December 2024, using the same kind of language and misinformation to justify their position. One thing that seems to be coming from the US evangelicals is this idea that religious rights are human rights. That Christians religious rights should take priority over personal rights because giving people personal rights is against their religious rights.

This kind of insane bullshit is the reality for many conservatives in Canada since Postmedia and the CPC seem to be courting it. If you look at Postmedia, then places like Rebel or Juno, and finally move onto Twitter, there is a ramping up of this same narrative. Where Postmedia has the volume turned to 3, Rebel is at 7 and Carlson is turned up to 11, but if you really listen, it's the same song and dance that relies on the same cognitive distortions.

In fairness, you guys do have a lot of oil

We were feared by the Nazis. I think everyone forgets were insane.

Our oil is very dirty and expensive to extract. It’s highly susceptible to being made unprofitable every time oil prices drop.

You know what country has the most advanced infrastructure specifically designed to process Canadian heavy crude. That would be the United States.

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Its the processing that happens on site that is insanely costly. The stuff is almost coal in viscosity, but doesn't burn because its mostly sand.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

So is Venezuela's. Hasn't slowed them down.

Uh oh.

I didn’t really realize this. Yeah, Candanian invasion is probably a ticking clock…
