Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating 51st state threats.

And they told CBC News that the most potent weapon wielded by the Trump administration to advance the cause of annexation would likely not be the intelligence agencies directed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.#

He says that in spite of visible signs of Canadian unity in the face of annexation threats, there are those who are vulnerable to the siren call (of American propaganda), particularly among the young who feel economically disadvantaged.

"That would be one of the linchpins, one of the cracks in the armour that another country would be looking at trying to exploit," he told CBC News. "If you have individuals who are concerned about where their next meal is coming from or if they're going to get a roof over their head, that supersedes sovereignty."

This is the scary part. Pay attention to those of us who feel like we're being ignored or left behind.

Pay attention to those of us who feel like we're being ignored or left behind.

Like the 40% of us who live paycheck to paycheck, and the 60% of us who will never qualify for a home.

I wonder if they'll be throwing people out of helicopters over Superior or James Bay?
