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.
Jamil Javani created the group Protect Christians Canada in December 2024, using the same kind of language and misinformation to justify their position. One thing that seems to be coming from the US evangelicals is this idea that religious rights are human rights. That Christians religious rights should take priority over personal rights because giving people personal rights is against their religious rights.
This kind of insane bullshit is the reality for many conservatives in Canada since Postmedia and the CPC seem to be courting it. If you look at Postmedia, then places like Rebel or Juno, and finally move onto Twitter, there is a ramping up of this same narrative. Where Postmedia has the volume turned to 3, Rebel is at 7 and Carlson is turned up to 11, but if you really listen, it’s the same song and dance that relies on the same cognitive distortions.
