Yes, I understand the stated reasoning and why it makes sense within a capitalist framework. I'm saying that's bad, that isn't a solution to any systemic problem stemming from capitalism.

Also, no, the US cannot just fucking invade Canada the way it does colonial holdings in the Global South. Not only is the financialization system between the two states an existential deterrent, but it also has more efficient means of coercing desirable policies out of the Canadian state. The US military is fucking giant and cannot just be thrown around; look how fucked it got in a short conflict with a country they are less intertwined with.

No, the US being imperialist as always does not justify passively supporting the reinforcement of extractive capitalism and genocidal settler-colonialism In Canada.
