Literally nobody has called them this. How is the NYT always wrong.
The World Series was played outside the U.S. for the first time in 32 years this October, when the Toronto Blue Jays united fans across Canada as the country’s only MLB team. The team even became known as the “Glue Jays” before the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.
Canadians Mourn a Loss by Underdogs Who Brought a Nation Together
The Blue Jays, Canada’s only M.L.B. team, were a salve for a country hit by President Trump’s threats and tariffs. Then the Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.

Bottom line: if you don’t vote, you are telling everyone that you are privileged enough to not be affected by whatever happens.

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Americans (myself included) tend to laugh off the Trump noises about annexing Canada as obvious nonsense, but the rest of the world is taking the threat seriously.

Our media should reflect that reality and hold him accountable for the serious damage he’s causing.
You can watch Christiane Amanpour realize in real time on CNN just how seriously Canadians are taking the annexation threats.

Imagine being told a decade ago that this sort of warning would be running in our newspaper - and that you (or I at least) would be nodding along with most of it. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Opinion: It’s 1938. Canada is Austria. That’s how Mr. Trump sees it. Do we?
Canada faces a threat not only to our prosperity, but to our existence., and we must re-examine, and perhaps radically alter, our assumptions about our place in the world

We're very fair to Canada. But they're not fair to us. We invite them. Come and play in Boston. Beautiful city. Boston, Muskachusetts. The perfect city really. But Canada. Very unfair. We give them two goals. Very fair. But Canada takes more goals. Not very fair, right? Goal tariffs. It's happening.
