Prime Minister Mark Carney says he studied the possibility of U.S.-led military action in Canada.
In a lengthy New York Times interview published Wednesday, Carney declined to discuss in detail what that examination involved, but he suggested it would be irresponsible not to prepare for what he called “extreme tail risk.”
“I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme tail risk,” Carney told the Times. “That’s just risk management. That’s not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to (prepare).”
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly mused about turning Canada into the 51st state and while he ruled out using military force to annex Canada in January 2025, he has said he would consider using “economic force” to get Canada to become part of the United States.
Carney also spoke in the interview about Canada’s plans to reduce its reliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service.
He also discussed Canada considering alternatives to buying American F-35 fighter jets.
Canada’s plan to procure a full fleet of F-35 stealth fighters remains under a political review by Carney’s government. The review was launched more than a year ago in response to the trade war started by Trump.

The trade war between Canada and the United States has been escalating after efforts to reach a trade deal failed in mid-August.
The day after talks broke down, Trump imposed 50 per cent duties on $28 billion in Canadian goods, while Canada implemented retaliatory tariffs in early September.
The president also signed an order to identify and remove products of Canadian origin from U.S. government procurement systems.
The New York Times report said Carney disclosed that he and Trump speak “frequently” even after trade talks collapsed, something the prime minister has said multiple times in recent weeks.
At a news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this month, Carney said he speaks to Trump regularly and that they can “compartmentalize.” He added that part of their responsibility is to work together to resolve global issues like the war in Ukraine.
Earlier Wednesday, the president claimed on social media that Canada is “destroying itself” by allowing millions of people into the country “essentially unchecked and unvetted.”
Trump provided no evidence for these claims but called it a “Liberal takeover that will end very badly.”
Carney and Trump did not meet when they both attended the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly this week. It was Carney’s first trip to the United States since trade negotiations fell apart last month.

Liberals are dumb. Liberals are insufferable stupid. Liberal academia is filled with retards and terrorist supporters. Liberals are done. The future is Conservative and there is nothing flakey boomers and purple haired losers can do about it.
All Quiet on the Liberal Frontal Lobe
This War mongering has to stop , Carney is leading us down a slippery slope, wake up people. He wants to keep us all in fear to control us.

It’s almost time again for Carnage to announce another round of gun bans and more rights taken away in the name of “public safety”, which of course brings safety minister Gary Asslonglastname back into the picture.
Time to refresh the scare tactics of using Trump to keep the elbows up movement going because it’s starting to fade away as Canadians are seeing the price of food and essentials going up on a weekly basis.

Do elbows up Canadians know how hard it is to take down an unelected majority.
Because an unelected majority is comparible to other such ideas as a coup d’état, but this time its against the voters.
How many elbows up Canadians rely on Starlink for their cottages.
Elbows have consequences, let’s heep blood out of it.
His whole thing is running on Trump the boggy man keep the elbows scared.
This is not risk management. This is fear mongering. Especially for all the boomer Liberals.
Canada has no military and wouldnt put up even a resistance.
They also have 10x the population and 13x the economic backing. Look at current politics and our allies in the UK EU and Japan, they won’t protect each other they sure won’t be coming to help us, they are USA allies too and they won’t pick us over them (They couldn’t win anyways)
Dreamers talking of resistance in the hills should remeber that Canada has been actively disarming its population since trudeau where as Joe blow merican has an AR 15 and wears a 50 cal on their hip at Burger King. If they just walk over the border its 10 on 1. If you only consider military its worse-> 1 300 000 vs 65 000 no black Hawks not air craft carriers NO F 35 we got patriot missiles or anti air defenses BUT WE HAVE TAMPONS IN THE MENS WASHROOMS!
Carney scaring the Elbows Up crowd even more? Probably going to call a snap election.
Carney must be getting ready to announce something stup!d. Get the lefties scared and frothing at the mouth first, then announcement time. Attacking Trump got him elected. Supposedly running high in the polls attacking Trump. Even Wab, Ford and Eby jumped on the same bandwagon for popularity.
The day is coming when carnhole will piss Putin off and ottawa will be radioactive wasteland
Any Canadian how to load a weapon… guess what… Sydney Sweeney could shoot more Canadians in 3 seconds before most Canadians could even say.. bad.
Fear mongering clown, elbozo boomers will eat it up tho
Honestly at this point the Americans should just liberate us from under the libs thumb. Need seal team six to hit carney with the old maduro tech
What a crock of s*it from Carney. He is just hyping up the elbozo idiots yet again. There is no way that the US will use military action against Canada. Carney is a con man and he knows execrly which buttons to oush to get the elbozo crowd going each and every time.
Gord, You’re absolutely right!
No doubt those Anti Canadians are the Dumb Ass’s who support Trump, yet complete Right Wing Cowards who run from Canada at the sign of war.
Best bring lots of body bags motherf*ckers. You will win eventually but we will make America bleed like the commie pig she is. F*ck you.
Master & Commander, “Beat to Quarters” no less
What should we call the new state? America North?
If the USA invades, Carney is moving to the USA with his wife and kids.
Do you know Carney didn’t quit Brookfield? He is on a leave of absence.
If Trump invades I am joining the US Army.
War is coming soon, just wait… one nuke at Ottawa and Canada becomes instantly AmeriCa!!
Carney will flee to EU and go into hiding.
US military is superior, Canadian milltary in inferior!
You anti-Canadian, anti-Carney Cons praying for failure should seek help. You’re clearly angry that when Harper created the Conservative Party he also left it with no hope of ever forming Government. Obviously frustrating for you, but great for the rest of us.
America could take us out in an afternoon. Cant say im very bothered by the idea, trump would treat us better than carney does
Do t worry Maple magats.. you can always move to the US.
Please let them roll the tank over the border. It’ll be over in a day. We’d be way better off as the 51st state.
Reality Check. The 1966 Medical Care Act was supported by the Liberals and NDP and eventually by the Progressive Conservatives. The two Social Credit MPs opposed.
It would stupid for a leader not look at the possibility when a leader of a neighboring country who happens to be the biggest army threatens annexation just blow it off. I would be more angry if the leader did nothing. PP is Trump apologizer.
Journalists really ought to stop inciting hatred.
Just a reminder to brain dead Liberals: he never, ever threatened to invade.
Carney said he could negotiate a good deal with Trump.
Who cares what Carney says? He’s either a liar, or grossly incompetent.
Carney says he wants a middle power coalition while meeting with developing nations.
Liberals need to get out of the way.

Yes, the PM is a bed wetter.
You cannot trust global news, or really use Canada it’s all biased, and this is the prime example
Global news is a strong proponent of the centuries project. Where they want to flood the country with 100 million Indians in the next 25 years
So global news deliberately comes up with some distracting story that is just absurd about a US invasion meanwhile the story about the immigration crisis gets buried
This is an attempt to hush up the story about trump stating canada has rampant immigration crisis. Which btw ia strongly supported by global news.
So of course they want to burry that story
Biased news at its best
The spin is incredible. How to make the bad guy seem like the hero. No wonder the west has seperatists.
Precisely as they did with the NDP and Pharmacare.

Canada’s universal healthcare system came about due to Social Credit, and a minority parliament.
Had today’s liberals been the ones in power during those years we would not have universal healthcare as liberals would have simply extorted and bribed their way to a false majority and dispensed with what was left of Social Credit.”
Which is precisely what they did with the NDP and Pharmacare.

Pat A, if Alberta separates, I am joining them and millions of other Canadians will, too.
We will not become a state, we will become what Canada could have been all along if it weren’t for sanctimonious airheads.
And then we might retake Canada.
What an evil , pathetic weak man this taxdodging LIAR Liberal leader is. This man kisses Trumps ass every time he meets with him . Over 90% of his interests are in the US. Like he said he considers his ministers usefull idiots, imagine what he thinks of the koolaid sippers with the huge elbows. Honesttly if Trump wanted Canada he would have had it by now.
Will Carney’s European friends and NATO come over help Canadians if US is invading us?
incidentally, consider what the result would be if Alberta separates from Canada.
WOW, that would be a stab in the back with the possibility they might decide to become the 51st State.
More senseless fear mongering from the Liberal Government.
Got to keep the masses distracted from Carney’s failures and lack of accomplishments.
When American troops come down my block, I’ll be throwing the biggest party I can.
Canada is dead.
Liberal voters killed it
I’m not a liberal, con or anything has the parties have lost my faith in them BUT thank God Carney is in charge instead of one of those other brain dead politicians. The evidence, the world is backing and supporting Canada NOT the US of Who. The reality is IF we appease the orange mans wishes that the US requires nothing from Canada their industrial machine would have a crisis within 1-3 months and tens of milliions would be laid off and the country would collapse uner their debts. Canada DOES hold all the cards BUT soon the orange man will be gone and most likely impeached as already stated by the opposition and JUST maybe someone with commonsense will bring the US back under the fold of their allies with NO hostilities or threats.
Carney is wise to consider the possibility of Trump using economic pressure to force Canada to become part of the US.
Trump understand that the NATO commitment to consider “an attack on one member is considered an attack on all members” would result in a war he could not control. If that scenario did come to be, then the US forces would have no options but would have to obey orders, soldiers live in a world where the Chief has the last word and would have no choice but to obey an order.
Stop writing all the “conspiracy theories”;
good Politicians have your best interests at heart, they are not looking to benefit from their decisions.
A past politician’s opinion.
War with the U.S.
Here is how it would happen
The U.S. would cross the 49th and Canada would become the 51st State in less time than the German invasion of Denmark.
And as a Conservative the last thing I will be doing is filling magazines to defend this Liberal Looney Bin.
Do we have an idiot for Prime Minister? Oh no, the Liberals has turned Canada into a drug trafficking transit point.
More fear mongering by Carney and the Liberals too keep the Elbows up crowd in line. While Canada continues it’s decline and unafordability.
Carney has to keep the fear up against those nasty Americans that want to take Canadian sovereignty. While he sells us back to Europe as an EU colony. Thanks Mark….
@ben Another post where your room temperarature IQ shows
Carney was making sure he and his friends would be out of country on invasion day.
Come on people.
It’s more likely that Carney is crazy than the US will invade Canada.
This at war concept is being taken a little too far.
I wish Carney and Trump would retire and go away.
I can’t remember in recent memory a Prime Minister working so hard , under very difficult conditions . Mr . Pompous in US is like a spoiled child who is also a bully, which makes dealing with him very hard. But like all bullies proven through history he will fail, that is God’s plan .
Of course, Carney is a liar and journalists have death wishes.
Anonymous @10:13. Give it a rest. Pandemic is a thing of the past. Move on.
Carney is good for nothing but his eloquence. Back then, before the pandemic, Trudeau also solemnly declared that he was fully prepared, but in the end, it was a complete mess. Because what politicians say is never trustworthy.
Forcing people to be vaccinated and threat of financial ruin is extortion.
David Best. You are a one line bot.
David Best. You are a one line bot.
@Ben. Most Canadians are unarmed, we can thank the Liberals for that. The countries you speak of have weapons.
Maybe he should study finance and realize Canadian tax payers have nothing left to give to his terrorist buddies!
The only thing to save us is the US military

Fascism is as fascism does.
Can you define what Fascism is?
Of course I expect my government to do this. It’s called risk management. Any responsible government carrying out due diligence would do this. And for those saying we have zero chance against the US, look at Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam. It is entirely reasonable to believe that there would be many pockets of resistance in any occupation and invasion, like there was in Iraq. The overall scenario of US invasion is highly unlikely though.
I would absolutely go for the whole north, less civilians, more gains. They get the Northwest passage, and all those yummy minerals cause guess what, we had 20 years of warnings.
Canada is ocean locked, nothing comes in and nothing goes out if America chooses to blockade us, we have no useful manufacturing, we cant retool or get outside weaponry into our country.
We only have 2 million PAL certified Canadians out of 40 million. That means we dont even have guns. Thx libs.
Our priminster will fly to Europe and watch us burn, just like Hamas.
If thr USA invaded Alberta I would see them as freedom fighters that are against the draconian socialist Liberal regime in Ottawa
American military intelligence is not keen for invasions e.g. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam has shown it is not a Hollywood Rambo or Top Gun film. Then there is Ukraine mauling the massive Russian military for 4 year & county with an military of only 800,000. Canada had a military of 1.1 serving in WW2 with a population of only 11.5 million.. Now we are 40 million. Mind, in the 1940s the population of patriotic and prepared to fight for their nation.
lol Canada would have zero chance against the American Armed Forces. The relationship with the USA has never been so bad thanks to Carney
“Canada is a Dead Duck.”
Well, you are dumb. Is that you Ben?
Yes, it’s true, Carney has no brains. He is inciting violence amongst a bunch of weaklings and losers that think Alaska is where the US would attack from.
Take down my posts at your own risk Goebbels News.
Louis Riel was a fascist, and a terrorist.
This is the height of mental retardation. The US would not strike the Yukon in an attack and they would not use Alaska as their primary base.
You people are stupid beyond all reason.
Fully believe that is what Trump is leading up too. He desperately wants control of the Western Hemisphere. Only he would know what is coming form Putin and Xi as they have all talked privately.
Our world is going to change for the worst. These three folks need to be stopped. Along with a couple other minor players.
be glad you never gave up ypour weapons to these dodo Liberals who will probably just let Trump come over the border. Carney will be secure in EU before that happens. He doesn’t give a f*ck about us.
Time to grow some balls folks, it could get ugly and people like me aren’t going to carry you suckh*les.
Glad to c the number of ELBOWZO #1followers is dropping in these comments but the T.D.S. is still embarrassing!!
The United States of America has launched a military campaign against it’s northern neighbour Canada. The US Army has readied it’s armoured ground division, navy frigates and 2 aircraft carriers each positioned of the east and west coasts.
How stupid does that sound?
Get over it. Trump would never invade Canada firstly because Americans would have it. Secondly Trump has massive respect for King Charles. Thirdly because every other NATO nation would lose their minds.
Political theatrics at its finest. Fear mongering for the simple-minded Liberal voters.
LMFAO…
Okay Louis the terrorist…

Carney just neede to figure out if there was a way he could get Brookfield to profit it from it if it were to happen…
Fascism is as fascism does.
This some pretty serious gaslighting
He is safe though
Canadas bought media wont ever confront him on it
Look I don’t like Trump anymore than anyone else in Canada, but obviously he’s not going to invade it.
Carney is not an idiot obviously but doesn’t really have any common sense.
Keep calm and Carney on
Interesting. Leslie Church has disastrous interview with Vasay Kapelos on their new labour bill, now all of the sudden this story is everywhere. Gotta keep everyone afraid of Trump lest those liberal polls slip, eh?
Bait and switch on the headline. Keep trying, Global.
For you to make opinions or play into the delusions without stating how outrageous they are, is poor reporting .
A serous statement that the United States would militarily attack a NATO country and you report as it my be factual, just plays into political games instead of real news.

Trumpedo is a repulsive, lying, sick scumbag.
There is no reason for Canada, & Prime Minister Carney, to engage in his silly games.
There are 192 other countries in the world, with 8 billion people with whom Canada can trade & deal with. NO ONE needs the US.
USA imports 75% of our goods and services good luck trying to replace that, give your head a shake.
I believe Carney should come clean to tax payers about the Gordie Howe Bridge deal and the terms that were not disclosed regarding the recent failed U.S deal. He said he was the only person who could get a deal with trump and so far we have nothing but tariffs costing us all money and jobs.
I see. I know. Alright. Fine. Aldjdjaksncjkskandncjsns ddnn,skandna
Carney says he “studied”? I hope he did a better job than that plagiarised university thesis he submitted to get his degree.

Why are libs so facking dumb? In their DNA, offspring of two other dummies, dropped on head as a kid?
Honestly, what an IDIOT…
Did any of the Elbows up Crowd figure out that Carney is like a fish out of water yet ?
He’s digging Canada into a bigger hole one day at a time does interviews with any one who’s prepared to listen but Zero in the house of commons. Let it sink in boomers he’s fake.
Carney really needs to stop antagonizing that baby in the Whitehouse.
