TGHusker Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Thanks to Trump, Jan 6, radical view by much of the GOP far right, and our general backsliding, Canadian watchdogs now see the USA as a growing "source of threat and instability" in the coming years. Thanks GOP, Thanks Trump. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/canadian-national-security-task-force-is-preparing-for-the-collapse-of-the-united-states/ar-AAXFOgj?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=54a3737f58dc43c4bad9f7b4611ecff7 Quote While the United States appears to hold true to the ideals of democracy, Freedom House, an international group that promotes global democracy, has warned that the country is backsliding. "Its democratic institutions have suffered erosion, as reflected in partisan pressure on the electoral process, bias and dysfunction in the criminal justice system, harmful policies on immigration and asylum seekers, and growing disparities in wealth, economic opportunity, and political influence," the site said. The watchdog group said that the U.S. slipped 11 points in the past ten years. The U.S. is now ranked below Argentina and Mongolia. According to the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC), the government to the north is fearful of what that might mean for them. Former national security advisers and directors at the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned Canada that the U.S. could become a "source of threat and instability" in the coming years. Writing for CBC, Catharine Tunney cited those experts pondering a reconsideration of the alliance with the U.S. Citing things like Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump's attempt to overthrow the government, and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, they have a growing list of anti-democratic warnings. Their data gathering comes from top-secret information and a briefed cabinet on emerging threats. It warns that Canada has been complacent and warned it's time to tackle things like Russia and Chinese espionage. "The United States is and will remain our closest ally, but it could also become a source of threat and instability," the report says. "The 'democratic backsliding' in the United States, a rise in cyberattacks and climate change," are cited as examples in the report. "We believe that the threats are quite serious at the moment, that they do impact Canada," said former Canadian national security adviser Vincent Rigby, a co-author of the report. "We don't want it to take a crisis for [the] government of Canada to wake up." The main point for Canada to pivot has to do with the U.S. While Canada has its own extremist groups, according to intelligence reports, they are coordinating with the United States. "There are growing transnational ties between right-wing extremists here and in the U.S., the movement of funds, the movement of people, the movement of ideas, the encouragement, the support by media," Rigby said. 2 1 Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 It’s not destructive nor unfair. Stop being a politician at some point and call a spade a spade. It seems the police didn’t do their job and need to be held accountable. You should be leading that accountability based on your leadership position in the state. 4 Link to comment
