Merging The U.S. & Canada

Trump's proposal to unify continent is consistent with globalist dreams

Proposal to unify continent has long history in British and globalist thinking
It must be seen in context of SMART cities, cybernetic government or AI
and the financialisation of nature through CO2 trade to grab land and resources

UPDATE: A reader asks why the main illustration includes Mexico. This reflects the Declaration of North America signed in Jan 2023 (see below)

Dec 8, 2025

Incoming president Donald Trump has spoken of "liberating" Canada, buying Greenland, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.”

This clearly goes beyond making America great again. If it is serious — a big if — it is a project that could not proceed without the say so of powerful people who own much of the land in those territories.

It is a deeper question than Tweets about who would get richer, or more liberty, under a North American merger. The Moneycircus archive is chock full of entertaining writing that anticipates this very proposal: how all crises are an attempt to reset the creaking monetary system, while grabbing land and resources; how the UN, IMF and WHO are used to advance the interests of the money power; the rival interests behind the City of London and the corporatisation of the British empire.

This articly is a timely synthesis. See the list of “related” above.

Land, government, people

The question is whether Trump’s comments align with the globalists, and which faction. Those who claim to speak for Britain regard Canada as a royal dominion; at the same time there is a century-old tendency in the Anglo American Establishment which, to simplify in the extreme, pushes one world government by subsuming nation states into regional blocs.

What do we witness in real time?

The people are redefined, whether you deny the UN's own documents labeled "replacement migration," or blind yourself to the obvious question why post-industrial nations would import people with pre-industrial skills.

Territorial ownership or exchange is linked to the mass migration which we also witness. It is linked to the displacement of populations that we see in Gaza and Syria, and the resource wars in Mesopotamnia with eyes on Iran, and in Eurasia where senator Lindsey Graham told CBS, “They're sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine.”

Government itself is redefined, from "what is democracy" to the structure of institutions, inverted from representing the people to protecting the institutions (to whom they answer we know not).

The people are redefined: whether you ignore "replacement migration" as listed in the UN's own documents, the question remains why post-industrial nations would import people with pre-industrial skills.

The UN has a programme to reassign the ownership of land, from the settlers and interlopers to the indigenous peoples. It sounds noble enough, though fraught with complexity.

In practice the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples places first nations outside the constitutional and representative process by creating new sortition assemblies.

Is UNDRIP using indigenous people as the pretext for a land grab?

See United Nations Land Grab - First nations used as proxies by oligarchs (Jun 02, 2023)

Here's the clue: Multiple policies, under pretexts that are many and varied, all drive the same "solutions."

Climate change is the pretext for "managed retreat," a policy to move populations away from regions deemed at risk from anything resulting from climate change: sea levels, wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes etc.

The deportation or forced movement of peoples is part of the United Nations climate program under numerous policies: rewilding, nitrogen, C02, extreme weather, or SMART cities. [1]

There is merit to simple answers. Some seek the "big one" — perhaps an asteroid heading for Earth, the sensible option being to thin the herd and burrow underground, capturing as much life-giving carbon dioxide as possible for storage in mines.

Woke diversions

The gradual federalisation of Europe has been underway since WWII. Russia has attempted to copy this with the Eurasian Economic Union, and latterly with BRICS. In January 2023 president Joe Biden met Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico's then president Andrés Manuel López Obrador to sign the Declaration of North America.

The 10th North American Leaders’ Summit attracted little attention since it was overshadowed by the lob-and-volley over classified documents found in Biden's garage, tit-for-tat after Feds had rifled through Melania Trump's clothes looking for the same.

Even if you had paid attention, the Declaration of North America (DNA) seemingly focused on the most Woke of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from diversity, equity, and inclusion, to migration rights.

One begins to wonder if the famously vague 17 SDGs aren't simply a distraction from another agenda. [2]

Preparing the people

Globalism is driven by the concept of shareholder value: maximising profit is the legal and bounden duty of corporate executives, regardless of their claims to DEI.

A fragmented, deracinated workforce is their dream, since it is even cheaper than sending shrimps to be shelled by slave labour in Thailand or livestock to be butchered halfway around the globe.

Communitarian ideology is the pompous gloss for what is really a financial and tribal imperative. As to who implements the system, the shakedown will determine who holds the power and calls the shots.

Identitarian politics may find its expression in blood and soil ethno-nationalism. Or it may take refuge in avoiding oppression by becoming the oppressor. Individuals or corporations may take legal short cuts so long as the dominant tribe or cohort survives — the specific flavour of totalitarianism does not matter, just as in a society focused on ritual, the specific deity may vary over time.

What the outcome will be, one may speculate. In real time the constriction of energy is leading to the de-industrialisation of Europe. Manufacturing has been transferred to Asia, notably China. Industry requires vast energy, thus no restrictions are being imposed on China while European and North American governments are tinkering with the most finicky and intrusive mechanisms of taxing "carbon" at every step of consumption.

Trump wants the U.S. to retain its technological lead in the Apple way: “designed in California, made in China.”

Technate of America

The proposal of unification is not new: it echoes a Technate of America as proposed by the Technocracy movement headed, in Canada, by Joshua Haldeman, grandfather of Elon Musk, which promoted rule by scientists and corporations in place of representative democracy.

Curiously Elon Musk has chosen this moment to intervene in British politics on migration and the failure of law and justice, while highlighting his British roots — as if this were a challenge, or a cozying up, to the nominally British powers, the City of London and the monarchy, which is so powerful in Canada.

It also recalls the century-old plans to fold the British control of resources into a commonwealth of nations. Search our earlier articles on the Fabians, Alfred Milner, Lionel Curtis and H.G. Wells.

This is not only a question of how much of Canada's territory the British Crown owns directly but also the "fabulous" holdings of the Rothschilds, which we have noted before on Moneycircus.

Macleans magazine had an article from 1956, “The Rothschilds' Fabulous Stake In Canada.” It has been 404’d or memory-holed and deleted from the prestigious magazine. It can be found on the Internet Archive and alternative web sites. [3]

There is nothing historic or ancien régime about such mammoth landholdings. When bankers began financing kings, they acquired land on an even greater scale than those royal hunting grounds.

Techno land grab

The SMART cities project, the cybernetic model for government to manage the physical, the digital, and the biological worlds, the need for resources, and financialisation of nature through carbon offsets as a means to acquire such resources, is driving a land grab.

This is why the structure of ownership is driving geopolitics at this moment, why nation states are being called into question, and we cannot lightly dismiss such talk.
