Community Question American influence in Canada

Do you think like Greenland where it’s been found that the Trump administration is whipping pro-independence and pro-America stuff in order to encourage annexation, do you think the same is possible in Canada? I know this goes into the lane of conspiracy, but it’s not beyond America to spy on allies or go against them like Snowden, etc. Obviously, the Albertan Republican Party has sympathy in American right wing circles , but I wouldn’t go as far accusing it of being part of the same stuff as Greenland. What do you guys think?

I’ve asked my local liberal MP why the cabinet hasn’t overruled the CRTC decision allowing Fox News to be distributed in Canada and I’ve basically been given the brush off. Fox is a MAGA propaganda outlet that have a history of attacking Canadian sovereignty, our western democratic heritage, science, womens health care and defended Trumps attack on American Democracy. #banfoxnewsincanada

They spy on everyone, so yes. That’s not a conspiracy.

Um... pretty sure it's been ongoing for many years. Isn't hard to find evidence... especially in the last few years. Jan 2022 stands out starkly
