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.

    Again. Impeachment by who?

    That failed twice already and that was back when we all thought Congress was an independent branch of government.

    You need to, at the very least, get rid of Mike Johnson before you can even dream of getting rid of Trump. But even that still leaves the Senate. Have you compared your views on legislative oversight to those of Tom Cotton?

    And see the SCOTUS decision on presidential immunity for their thoughts on judicial oversight.

      By Congress, which he was successfully impeached by twice already. The second part of the removal process involves the Senate and a trial where the President would be relieved of their duties.

      I get that you are skeptical, but that is the way it is done. The United States has payed lip service to legal equality for far too long with classism being the defining factor in our culture.

      This problem isn’t just holding a President accountable, but also holding those who are wealthy accountable. You could argue that when you put both these together you create the perfect storm of privilege.

      The US should change their motto to by the rich for the rich so its citizens can finally understand why their country is the way it is.
