War Between The US And Canada - Is It Now A Real Possibility? Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,Reality is absolutely downstream from fiction. Did the creators of South Park predict the future in their 1999 comedy film? I think we’re all suddenly realizing that prognostication is easy – Simply imagine the most absurd scenario possible and eventually it’s going to come true because we’re living in clown world.A war between Canada and the US opening up a portal to hell might be a bit of a stretch, but recent events lead me to believe that there are very real ingredients coming together that could trigger an active conflict with our neighbors to the north. Furthermore, these factors do NOT necessarily revolve around the trade war; the trade war is secondary.There is something explosive going on under the surface of US/Canada relations and it could very well end with a US invasion to the north.Most conservatives have viewed Trump’s rhetoric on Canada becoming the 51st state as a joke or a troll. At least, initially. Trump himself said it was a joke in the beginning, but now he thinks it might be a good idea. For today, lets imagine that this is a real agenda for the Trump Administration and consider the pros and cons.The Cons1) Trump looks like an “empire builder” which is widely considered poor form in the 21st Century. Most conservatives prefer that America stick to the American sphere and deal with American problems first before trying to change the geopolitical landscape.2) An annexation of Canada would mean welcoming millions of Canadian leftists into the US as voting citizens. Who knows how this would affect the election demographics. It’s better to leave Canada as a steam valve so that leftist LEAVE the US and live there instead. America has been suffering under the weight of increasing progressive control, and now that we are finally turning the tide we don’t want to screw it up by importing a bunch of socialists from across the border.3) On the global stage, the leftist establishment will claim that any US expansion is proof of a rising “fascist regime”. Not that most Americans really care what the rest of the world thinks, but we do still have to engage in diplomacy and alliances and trade to a point. The more the fascism narrative grows the harder it will be to engage with other countries on civil terms, fair or not fair.The Pros1) The US already pays for Canada’s defense anyway. Their proximity to us keeps them safe from invasion. Their defense budget is a tiny $27 billion, compared to America’s $997 billion. Their military is minuscule, with 63,000 active members and 22,000 reserve compared to America’s 2.86 million active duty troops and nearly 800,000 in reserve.Canada has never needed an army because the US is their daddy. If Canada was annexed, the billions expended to keep the country safe would make more sense in our modern post-cold war era.2) Though there is a risk of bringing millions of leftists into US citizenship if Canada became the 51st state, there is also a good chance most of those people would leave the country and move overseas. Frankly, the less leftists reside in North America, the better off we all will be, and taking Canada might run them all off to another part of the world.3) Bringing Canada into the fold would make tariffs unnecessary, allow for more efficient resource development and help dig Canada out of the desperate economic slump they are currently trapped in. But an even more important factor is keeping Canada out of the hands of the globalists within the European Union, who have been courting the nation for years and seeking far closer political ties. In military strategy this is called “area denial”.The War ScenarioThis brings us to what I believe is a potential build-up to war between the US and our neighbor. The election of Mark Carney basically seals the deal.The former central banker is a notorious high ranking member of the World Economic Forum and a devout globalist. He has called for a global digital currency system and supports the cashless society concept. He will no doubt increase tensions with the US on every front from trade to border controls and he WILL get friendly with governments that are hostile to America.Upon his election win his first act was to attack the US and Trump, hinting at closer connections with the EU, not to mention refusing to negotiate on trade.The EU issue, I believe, is a hot spark in a hay bale. As I’ve noted in recent articles, the EU is without any doubt going full blown authoritarian because they know they can. The vast majority of Europeans are disarmed making any rebellion much more difficult.They are locking up political opponents and citizens that speak out. They are instituting a vast online censorship apparatus. They are importing millions of third world migrants that can be used as enforcers to keep the native population in line. They are openly talking about forced military conscription and are courting the idea of war with Russia.European governments are the enemy of all free people. This can only lead to bloody conflict in the future.By extension, Mark Carney, head of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, has deep connections to the European elites and is loyal to the WEF. I would not be surprised if he immediately organizes a campaign for Canada to join the EU, or, creates policies which give the EU a geopolitical foothold in North America. The union’s treaty currently requires that a country be a geographical part of Europe before it can join. There are also a number of obstacles for inclusion, but as we have seen with Ukraine, the EU is happy to bend or change the rules if it suits them.If membership is formed or a defense pact signed, the EU’s ongoing plan to create a “European Army” would then extend to Canada and put the US and Canada/Europe in a framework for escalation. Canada is working on such a defense deal with the EU right now.It’s important to understand that this war would start out as economic and quickly become ideological. The progressives believe that populist, nationalist and conservative movements are a “threat to democracy” (which means they are a threat to the globalist order). They view American conservatives as the last obstacle to their “Great Reset” (an agenda which Carney avidly supports) and they will do everything in their power to remove that obstacle.Carney WILL invite the EU to take a more active role in Canadian affairs and seek out their “protection”, economically as well as strategically. This would only exacerbate the diplomatic situation with the US and invite an American invasion.The tariffs will become perpetual under Carney because it’s unlikely he will seek honest negotiations. Rather, he will seek to provoke. Around 76% of Canada’s exports are sold to the US and there is no realistic replacement for this market. Canada does not have the means to ship their goods overseas without raising prices exponentially. They would lose their competitive trade advantage. Around 30% of Canada’s GDP relies on export sales. Canada’s economy will be destroyed by long term tariffs.This will inevitably lead to extra-economic retaliation; meaning, Canada will seek a means to hurt the US beyond reciprocal tariffs because tariffs will not help them. They will try to cut off oil exports to the US even though they have no alternative buyers. They will cut off the hydropower that they sell to states like New York, Minnesota and Michigan. They will try to interfere with US shipping lanes that cross into Canadian controlled waters (Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway).Again, this would elicit a war response from the US and victory would be swift. The existing Canadian government would have zero chance of staying in power.For those that think a conflict with Canada sounds ridiculous, I would remind them that times are changing rapidly. What you might think of as the status quo for geopolitics today is over. As globalism breaks apart we are entering the wild west, so saddle up and sack up. There’s no room for normalcy bias anymore.I predict that within the next two years there will be serious talk of portions of Canada (like Alberta) seceding over to the US as Carney crushes citizens with carbon taxation, increased censorship, continued mass immigration and gun bans. The new Primer Minister will make every effort to make Canada as draconian as Europe.More progressive parts of Canada will pursue EU membership. And, the idea of war will not sound so crazy anymore. In fact, I suspect it will be a common debate around the average American and Canadian dinner table.Again, with a globalist ghoul like Mark Carney in control of Canada the chances for heightened tensions are immense and unfortunately a large enough percentage of Canadians are gullible enough to follow his lead thinking they can win. Make no mistake, a war with the globalists is brewing and Canada is currently leaning globalist. This might very well mean a conflagration between Americans and Canadians in the near future.* * *If you would like to support the work that Alt-Market does while also receiving content on advanced tactics for defeating the globalist agenda, subscribe to our exclusive newsletter The Wild Bunch Dispatch.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose in morning trading on Wall Street Friday following a stronger-than-expected report on the U.S. job market.
Dive Brief:Hershey opened a 250,000-square-foot chocolate processing facility in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the company's first new manufacturing plant in the city in more than 30 years, per an April 16 emailed press release.The Reese Chocolate Processing facility, named after brand founder H.B Reese, took nearly three years to complete. It will provide chocolate for brands such as Reese’s, Kit Kat and Hershey’s.The confection and salty snacks maker said the project is part of a multi-year, $1 billion investment that also includes the addition of 13 production lines and the upgrading of 11 existing lines across Hershey’s North American facilities.Dive Insight:As companies look to boost production and improve the efficiency of their existing supply chain, more are adding, expanding or even closing older facilities across their networks.The new Hershey’s plant is located on a 55-acre site that is part of the company’s existing Reese’s campus. The site has nearly 100 full-time employees and will add more positions as operations expand.“Our ability to make and deliver products both quickly and efficiently is a key component of our growth strategy,” Will Bonifant, vice president of supply chain strategy and manufacturing at Hershey, said in a statement. “We’ve made significant investments to speed production, increase capacity and develop our workforce for the future to make more of the iconic brands consumers love.”Hershey has recently stepped-up efforts to boost innovation across its portfolio that includes everything from Kisses and Reese’s to gummies and Dot’s pretzels. While Hershey has used M&A to expand its portfolio, a major part of its ability to innovate comes from efforts it has taken to grow production capacity.In 2023, for example, Hershey purchased two popcorn operations from a co-manufacturer to increase production capacity and flexibility for its SkinnyPop brand. And when it purchased Dot’s in 2021, a key part of that $1.2 billion deal was buying manufacturing locations to increase output as demand increased.

A major footwear trade group sent a letter to President Donald Trump this week asking him to exempt shoes from his so-called “reciprocal tariffs.” Brands like Nike, Adidas and Skechers co-signed the letter. The letter claimed the tariffs pose an “existential threat” to footwear businesses and families and that under the scheme inventories would soon run low. America’s largest shoe brands are asking President Donald Trump for a tariff reprieve.The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America trade group sent a letter to the White House this week asking for an exemption to Trump’s so-called “reciprocal tariffs,” which the association said pose an “existential threat” to the footwear industry. The letter is signed by 76 footwear brands, including Nike, Adidas, Skechers and Under Armour.“Many companies making affordable footwear for hardworking lower and middle-income families cannot absorb tariff rates this high, nor can they pass along these costs. Without immediate relief from the reciprocal tariffs they will simply shutter,” reads the letter, which is dated April 29.“Many orders have been placed on hold, and footwear inventory for U.S. consumers may soon run low,” the trade group said.Trump’s wide-sweeping tariffs, announced on April 2, included levies on several countries that are important sources for footwear suppliers, including China, Vietnam and Cambodia. While the initial tariff rates of over 45% for Vietnam and Cambodia were lowered to 10% for a 90-day period, the Trump administration has only ratcheted up duties on Chinese imports, which are now subject to an effective tariff rate of 145%.Trump’s higher tariffs on dozens of trade partners are set to resume in early July.Adidas previously warned this week that tariffs would lead to higher prices for American consumers. In late March, before the specific reciprocal tariff rates were announced, Nike’s finance chief said global levies and economic uncertainty would result in lower current-quarter sales.The footwear association’s letter said the industry had already been facing significant duties on products like children’s shoes before Trump announced his broad tariffs. In total, U.S. footwear companies will face tariffs ranging from 150% to about 220%, the trade group said.“This is an emergency that requires immediate action and attention. The American footwear industry does not have months to adjust business models and supply chains while absorbing this unprecedented and unforeseen tariff regime,” the association wrote.The group further warned that the tariffs won’t result in bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., as Trump has promised, because they erase the certainty that businesses require in order to invest in sourcing changes.The White House didn’t immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
