Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has publicly stated that Canada has considered the remote possibility of US-led military action against its own country. Carney described this scenario as an "extreme tail risk" that would be irresponsible not to prepare for, despite its low probability.
The prime minister's comments, made in an interview with The New York Times, have prompted discussion and concern among Canadians. Reports indicate that the BBC has been gathering reactions from citizens across the country regarding Carney's remarks.
While the likelihood of such an event is considered extremely low, Carney's acknowledgment of its consideration highlights a preparedness strategy for unforeseen geopolitical risks.
