Canada frequently touts its universal healthcare system and purportedly superior quality of life as hallmarks of its national identity. However, a closer examination reveals an inconvenient truth: these benefits are, to a significant extent, underpinned by the economic and geopolitical might of the United States. Canada’s proximity to—and reliance upon—the U.S. allows it to reap advantages that are effectively subsidized by American taxpayers. Through mechanisms such as trade imbalances, dependence on our defense, and the disproportionate burden the U.S. assumes in global economic stability, Canada enjoys a degree of prosperity and security it would not otherwise get independently. Were the United States to recalibrate its policies—stopping the support that has long flowed northward—Canada’s standard of living will face reality, exposing a system that has thrived by leveraging the resources and goodwill of the USA. With that being said. Using the guise of fentanyl is a joke. Trump just literally wants Canada to become the 51st state. Which objectively is a good idea for both countries. Subjectively I don't see it ever happening. However I also didn't realistically believe that the supreme court would overturn roe v wade. Edit: transposed objectively and subjectively.
