In this recent bill introduced to the House, Armed Forces would not be permitted to use funds to invade or seize territory from Canada, Panama, or Greenland. For those who claimed Trump was just trolling, it appears now American politicians and lawmakers are taking this seriously.
Does this change your perspective on it being a joke, if you previously believed it was?
Congress will be voting to prohibit funds to be used to invade Canada, Panama or Greenland
That’s how serious this is…. And expect the Tangerine Fuhrer to declare a fake emergency about fentanyl in the maple syrup and sign executive orders to invade Canada.
Don’t laugh, chances are good this bill it won’t pass because almost every Republican is insane, and even some Democrats are manifest destiny believers.
U.S. Congress bill aims to prevent funding of invasion of Canada
Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner is photographed in his office in Providence, R.I., Feb. 7, 2022.
A new bill introduced to the United States House of Representatives would withhold federal funding for any American “operations to invade or seize territory from” Canada, Panama or Greenland — unless Congress agrees to it first, that is.
Introduced Thursday by Rhode Island Rep. Seth Magaziner, the No Invading Allies Act would require U.S. President Donald Trump to seek a formal declaration of war, congressional approval or proof of a “national emergency created by attack or imminent threat of attack” to authorize offensive military action against the places mentioned above.
“Congress has allowed Presidents to engage in temporary hostilities for up to 60 days without Congressional approval,” reads a Thursday release from Magaziner’s office. “However, President Trump’s reckless rhetoric on territorial expansion makes clear that he cannot be trusted with unchecked war powers.”

51st state?
Talk of annexation has been one of the hallmarks of Trump’s second term.
The president has prodded Canada to become the 51st U.S. state for months, to widespread revulsion on this side of the border. Purchasing the self-governing territory of Greenland from Denmark has been a common refrain as far back as his first term in office, and allusions to seizing the Panama Canal have prompted Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino to reject the idea as an an affront to his nation’s dignity.
Earlier this year, Trump refused to rule out military force as a means of seizing Greenland and the canal, while his vision for a Canadian annexation has been limited to what he has called “economic force.”
The United States has since launched a trade war with Canada, an attack Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cast as serving Trump’s goal to “see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that’ll make it easier to annex us.”
Magaziner’s bill is designed to prevent presidents of any party from unilaterally dragging the country into conflicts, the Democratic representative’s release reads.
“President Trump should not be allowed to put American servicemembers into harm’s way by starting unnecessary wars with our allies,” he said.
Could the bill become law?
Co-sponsored by eight other congressional Democrats, the bill has been referred to House committees on foreign affairs and America’s armed services. In order to become law, it must first pass votes in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, before receiving the president’s own signature.
CTV News political analyst Eric Ham notes that in the “politically charged environment” of the present moment, legislation can often be introduced “not necessarily to make new law but to make a political statement.”
“Democrats don’t have the votes to pass this bill,” he told media. “It’s more stunt than lawmaking.”

Meanwhile, Canuck Old Timer Jean Chrétien got something to say…
Former Canadian Prime Minister: “Stop this nonsense; Canada will never join the United States!”
Chretien says we should hit the U.S. ‘where it hurts’; and Canada should build a natural gas pipeline from Alberta to Quebec
Former prime minister Jean Chretien said Canada had every right to retaliate the way it did in the ongoing trade war with the United States, adding it should hit back even harder by imposing taxes on major exports and using the money to bolster our infrastructure, including a pipeline “from Alberta to Quebec.”
Chretien, 91, took to the stage Sunday evening at the Liberal Party leadership convention in Toronto where Mark Carney was elected in a landslide to become the party’s new head, and Canada’s next prime minister, replacing Justin Trudeau.
After touting the Liberal Party’s past accomplishments including medicare, the Charter of Rights, putting Indigenous rights into the Constitution, toughening gun control laws and making same-sex marriage legal, Chretien addressed the “elephant in the room” – the “long and fruitful” friendship between Canada and the U.S. that is now “falling apart before our eyes.”
He said in French that a friendship long characterized by mutual respect and trust has now given way to “wariness and more and more open hostility” by the Trump administration towards Canada… More @ CTVNews
Canada is NOT warming to what Trump’s selling. Finally, people are speaking out about his personality disorders.

Trump adviser hopes Canada fentanyl dispute will be solved by end of March
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett speaks next to U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., March 7, 2025.
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Sunday he was hopeful a dispute with Canada over accusations of the deadly fentanyl opioid entering the U.S. across its northern border could be resolved by the end of March.< His comments on ABC News’s “This Week” raise the possibility that tariffs due to be reimposed by U.S. President Donald Trump at the end of the month could be stayed further.
Trump says tariffs on Mexico and Canada ‘could go up,’ declines to rule out possible recession
President Donald Trump said tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico planned for April 2 “could go up,” and would not predict whether the United States will have a recession in 2025.
In an interview that aired on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo,” Trump said reciprocal tariffs would go into effect on April 2 and the one-month reprieve granted to Mexico and Canada was a “little bit of a break.”
In February, Trump announced 25% tariffs on the United States’ neighboring countries. Those were delayed for a month and imposed on Tuesday, until Trump decided on Wednesday to pause tariffs on automakers for another month. He again changed course on Thursday, pausing tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods covered by the USMCA free trade treaty until April… More @ CNN
What if Trump is serious about Annexing Canada? Yes, Trump is serious as he has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada, and “Peace” is never part of his DNA as he just Bombed the hell out of Yemen along with the bloody Gaza Carnage… No question if he can do it, only when and how?
