No, he wasn't serious about invading Canada.
Though it is a proposition deserving of serious consideration. Trudeau is a dictator, and the neocons and neoliberals all tell me we have to send the military to any country ruled by a dictator.
Tucker Carlson has no love for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The Fox News host was interviewing Montreal-born college professor David Azerrad on his Fox Nation show this week when he said the U.S. should "liberate" Canada from Trudeau.
"I mean, why should we stand back and watch our biggest trading partner, the country with which we share the longest border -- and actually a great country, I love Canada. I've always loved Canada because of its natural beauty. Why should we let it become Cuba?" Carlson said, according to Business Insider.
"Why don't we liberate it? We're spending all this money to liberate Ukraine from the Russians, why are we not sending an armed force to liberate Canada from Trudeau? And I mean it."
Carlson said he was "completely in favour of a Bay of Pigs operation" in Canada, not acknowledging that the operation to overthrow Castro's government was a failure.
Azerrad responded by saying he wasn't on board. "I don't know that I'm there yet with you," he said. Carlson than said he was "talking himself into a frenzy."
Azerrad gets people into trouble. He says based things, then people try to top his last based utterance, and then all of a sudden Media Matters is slobbering all over your peen.
Who knows, maybe he was serious. He spoke about how much he "loves Canada," praising its "natural beauty," which is exactly the sort of thing we always say before we starting bombing the hell out of a country.
Canada's NDP -- the far leftwing party that joined with Trudeau to give him his meager majority -- wants to censure Tucker Carlson.
NeverTrumper and Permanent Grifter Joe Walsh did what NeverTrumpers do, and joined with the left in their campaign to deplatform and cancel of a conservative:

F*ck @TuckerCarlson.
The left, which is morbidly obese and sits on its collective ass all day typing slanders and stupidities into Twitter boxes, finally gets a little exercise by having itself a Coordinated Mass Spazz-Out.
There's more to what Carlson said because of course there is, like calling for "sending an armed force north," but repeating too much of his rhetoric only serves to spread it. Instead, let the story be told through Twitter replies, which are as comedically critical as can be expected.
Oh no, we don't want to spread his rhetoric about invading Canada.
One Twitter user said, "No, thank you, Tucker. We in Canada are perfectly capable of ousting a leader we don't like through a well-run, clean & efficient democratic election. We'd be happy to show you how that works."
I wish you would, because the Democrats have our elections fully rigged.
...
Others suggested that Carlson might be the problem in his own country, with one Twitter user writing, "As a Canadian, I'd love to see the US liberate itself from Tucker Carlson!" Of course, the U.S. probably won't hear their plea, but one can hope.
Sick burn dude.
The former US Ambassador to Canada -- under Obama, of course:
Bruce A. Heyman
@BruceAHeyman
Not funny. I call on @FoxNews to issue a formal apology.
He said that while linking a Huffington Post shriek-out about Carlson's joke. Again: Of course.
Cry moar.
Note that this "Willa Holt" writing the article about how terrible it is that Tucker would say this chooses to include an angry leftwing Canadian essentially threatening to come down to the US to kill Carlson.
But she knows she can get away with that, because hate speech and calls for murder are always approved by The Regime.
"Sometimes it's the simplest solutions that are the best," she says, endorsing the scheme to murder Tucker Carlson. (By the way, did a chatbot write that? It's strange English.)
Again, there will be no deplatforming or shadowbanning of this person. No FBI files will be opened.
The Regime doesn't object to violence and death threats so long as they are directed towards The Regime's political enemies.
