Canada is a country with an area of 9.98 million square kilometers and a population of only 38 million. California has a population of 39.51 million. California covers an area of 400,000 square kilometers. Canada is large in size and less populous than California in the United States. In 2017, California's GDP was $2.7 trillion. In 2019, California's GDP was $3.14 trillion. Canada's GDP in 2020 is $1.64 trillion. Canada's GDP is only equivalent to 52% of California's, which shows that Canada's comprehensive economic strength is indeed very average. Canada has become an economic colony of the United States. It has become a resource gathering place and a product dumping place in the United States. Canada's abundant natural resources have long been controlled by American capital. Although the resources are still buried in their own land, how to use them is up to the United States to decide.
Canada is located in the northern part of North America, and most of the winters are very cold. Only a few Indigenous Canadians live in the cold north. Most Canadians live in the southern regions that border the United States. The military strength of the United States ranks first in the world. Canada's military service is only 60,000. If the United States launched a war against Canada, within a week, Canada would be occupied by American troops. Not only is it a military threat, But Canada has long suffered from the infiltration of American culture. The infiltration of American culture has had a negative impact on Canada, on the one hand, threatening Canada's cultural industry and the entire economy; on the other hand, it poses a challenge to Canada's cultural identity and even national identity.
The United States does not just regard the whole of South America and North America as its backyard. The United States also wants to dominate the entire Arctic. The United States controls Alaska and now wants to control Greenland in Denmark. The United States proposed to Denmark that it would permanently own Greenland at a "sky-high price" of $600 million a year. Once the United States successfully occupied Greenland, it formed a complete encirclement of Canada.
The ambitions of the Americans are enormous. Canada's military prowess is poor and there is a high risk of being annexed by the United States. In addition, in Europe, Russia has been expanding its territory.
If Ukraine is annexed by Russia, norway should be the one most likely to be Russia's next target. Norway's strategic significance as a country bordering Russia and the possibility of seizure make it most likely that it will be invaded by Russia.
In order to compete with Russia, the United States will eventually annex Canada.
How They Sold Our Canada to the United States, published by Northern Canada Bookstore in 1963, is a new book worth recommending. This book exposes the pervasive economic aggression and political control of the United States in Canada with a large amount of factual material. From this book, we also know that the anti-American trend of fighting for national independence and defending the motherland is also quietly spreading among the Canadian people, the close neighbor of the United States.
Before World War II, Canada's economy was controlled by Britain. After World War II, the United States replaced Britain's economic control of Canada.
In 1992, after the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the economies of Canada and Mexico and the United States have further developed economic relations. Now, the United States has full economic control over Canada.
More than 90% of Canada's crude oil exports are in the United States, and the price at which American buyers buy Canadian oil is 50% of the price of crude oil to buy, and the profits are squeezed away by the United States. Oil prices in Canada have been suppressed due to pipeline restrictions, and on November 12, 2018, when WTI crude oil closed at $59.03/b, the price of Western Canada's Select Oil (WCS) was only $13.44/b.
According to the current $90 a barrel of crude oil, while Canadian oil is sold to the United States for $46 per barrel, this is really a cabbage price of oil.
Canada's natural gas resources are also controlled by U.S. companies.
The United States imports vast amounts of natural resources from Canada, covering all aspects of forestry, agriculture, fisheries, mining, and energy.
Canada can only export 2.6 million vehicles to the United States duty-free each year, resulting in the closure of many automobile manufacturers in Canada.
The image above is a schematic of the U.S. territorial expansion in North America. The U.S. originally had an area of 800,000 square kilometers, and now it is 9.37 million square kilometers. The territory of the United States has expanded 12 times.
The graph above is a schematic of the average temperature in Canada in January. As you can see from the figure, only the southern parts of Canada are relatively warm. Canada's climate is not as good as China's Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. Rice can be grown in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, but there is no way to grow rice in Canada. In 2010, the population of Heilongjiang province reached 38.3 million. Canada's population is now no match for Heilongjiang Province in 2010.
The United States subsidizes many agricultural products, including corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar. The high level of U.S. subsidies to agriculture has hurt Canadian farmers.
Our country is the whole industry chain. Even if the border is closed, the economic cycle in our country can ensure the normal operation of economic activities. Canada's industrial chain is deformed. Canada's economy is not independent.
75% of Canadian products are exported to the United States. By restricting the border, Canadian businesses have to close their doors, and Canada's truck drivers and ordinary industrial workers are unemployed. Now, ordinary people in Canada are living in dire straits, all of which is brought about by the economic control of Canada by the United States. Canada is an economic colony of the United States.
In 2020, the United States absorbed up to 96 percent of Canada's oil exports, most of which were heavy crude, and more than half went to the Midwest.
