🚨 Donroeism, the Trump-era twist on the Monroe Doctrine, is making waves in 2026. But what does it mean for Canada? 🇨🇦
Originally coined after a Jan. 3 press conference on US operations in Venezuela, “Donroeism” reflects a new national security strategy released in December 2025. Inspired by the 1823 Monroe Doctrine slogan “the Americas for Americans,” this updated doctrine aims to tighten Washington’s grip on the Western Hemisphere through economic pressure and military muscle.
Since January 2026, we’ve seen:
- US military action in Venezuela ⚔️
- Threats aimed at Colombia and Cuba ⚠️
- Bold vows to seize Greenland ❄️
And now Canada is in the crosshairs.
With its vast territory and abundant resources, Canada is a tempting target for “annexation” talk. Beyond military headlines, US influence has long been woven into Canadian decision-making through the dollar system, market dominance, and resource control.
Key challenges for Canada include:
- Economic pressure: tighter trade rules and financial leverage 💰
- Geopolitical risks: potential interventions that test sovereignty 🛡️
- Sovereignty at stake: will Canada maintain its own voice in key decisions?
As “Donroeism” unfolds, Canada faces a critical choice: adapt and diversify partnerships or risk losing control over its national agenda. Stay tuned as we track this evolving story! 🌐
