"A US news outlet here noticing that a Canadian government policy think-tank frets about a US civil war," as one Canadian reporter put it. The clip above is from the movie "Civil War," a dystopian future America where rebel factions attack the White House. Source: Politico When Justin Trudeau meets Joe Biden at the G7 summit in Italy this week, Trudeau will probably not ask whether the United States is at risk of erupting in civil war in the next few years. A think tank housed within Trudeau’s government is already pondering that question.
