On December 12, 2025, American commentator Tucker Carlson delivered a series of explicit, uninterrupted statements during a live interview with Matt Walsh that collectively amount to an open endorsement of coercive action against Canada. In the span of roughly three minutes, Carlson engaged in an unprecedented narrative assault on Canadian sovereignty and legitimacy, asserting that:
-
Canada is “not even a country” – overtly delegitimizing Canada’s status as a sovereign nation.
-
The Canadian government is murdering “tens of thousands” of citizens each year – accusing Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program of essentially mass state murder, including of children, and “harvesting the organs” from those killed.
-
The U.S. should consider invading and occupying Canada on human rights grounds – explicitly framing a hypothetical military intervention as morally justified, and repeatedly insisting “I’m not joking even a tiny bit” to underline the seriousness of his advocacy.
-
Canada is “way worse than Maduro” and even “worse than China” – claiming Canada’s alleged crimes outstrip those of Venezuela’s Maduro regime and the Chinese government, thus positioning Canada among the world’s most egregious human rights violators.
I really wish we’d ban or even regulate American tech companies but the minute we try, we end up getting bullied out of it by your country. I’m still mad that we cancelled it but I’m hoping as we fully cut ties, we’ll actually be able to go through with things like that.
Though realistically given our geography, our situation is akin to trying to improve things for ourselves while being caged in with a paranoid and cocaine fueled mountain lion so who knows.
I’m just hoping you guys can get yourselves under control whether that be through balkanisation, complete rebuild of government or anything because while I will proudly fight myself into a grave to defend our sovereignty, I really don’t fuckin’ want to have to
Honestly, from my perspective, the US is bad.
People act like things will get better here. But our social media has an iron grip on everything, especially leadership, and now we basically have an influencer government that knows how to work it and wants to entrench social media. Corporations love it. Attention spans are short.
I just don’t see a force that wants to get us out of this spiral. Anecdotally, I have smart, postgrad-educated family that’s repeating stuff from Fox News I never thought I’d hear from them, family working jobs where their CEOs are drinking the Kool Aid…
What’s going to happen is US corporate power will increasingly influence the government, fiscally, politically and psychologically. Unfortunately, I think it will stay central, not balkanize. The States have ceded too much power, and there’s too much vested interest.
Other countries I’ve traveled to seem sensible, though. Even with a Big Tech problem.
My hope is you guys band together with the EU, Mexico, the rest of the Americas, Africa, Asia and such. Lean on the British. It’d be much harder for the US to try something if there’s some kind of pact that would complicate it.
