Annex This, America

Canada stands at a crossroads. Will it remain a sovereign nationor become America's 51st state?When the current U.S. president openly muses about annexing Canada, it sparks a wave of resistance unlike anything the country has ever seen. From Montreal bagels turned patriotic symbols to an underground movement stamping "Proudly Canadian" on currency, from NHL arenas erupting in anti-annexation chants to the revival of the War of 1812 (complete with a reenactment of burning down the White House), ordinary Canadians find extraordinary ways to say "Not today, America."Told through the sharp, investigative reporting of Emily Richardson, the relentless senior correspondent for The Moose & Herald, this speculative oral history captures a nation's last stand against assimilation. Part political satire, part journalistic resistance, Sorry, But No (approx. 80,000 words) explores what happens when a polite country stops saying sorry and starts fighting back.With biting humor, historical echoes, and an unflinching look at how national identity is forged through conflict, this book is both a warning and a rallying cry.For those who believe that borders can be erased with paperwork, this is Canada's response:A moose stands its ground. And so do we.

Strong and Free is the second volume in the Annex This, America series, a bold and defiant response to the creeping rhetoric of Canadian annexation. Through satirical journalism, speculative fiction, and deeply Canadian resistance, this book envisions a future where sovereignty is defended not just with policies and protests, but with passive-aggressive postage, a moose-led border security initiative, and an underground economy determined to keep Canada's identity intact.The Moose & Herald, the last bastion of unapologetic Canadian journalism, continues to document the nation's refusal to be absorbed into Washington's expansionist fantasies. Led by the fearless Emily Richardsona journalist America wishes it could silence and Canada cannot afford to losethese pages capture the many ways a country can say "Sorry, but no" while maintaining its signature politeness.From border crossings swarmed with strategically placed wildlife to red plaid Fridays as a national protest movement, Strong and Free offers a deeply patriotic yet unmistakably Canadian response to American economic, cultural, and political pressures. It is a warning, a satire, and above all, a celebration of a nation that will not go quietly into someone else's history books.If you've ever questioned what it truly means to be Canadianor wondered how far a polite country will go before it stops being politethis book is for you.We are the True North. We are strong. We are free. And we are not for sale.

The Frozen Line: Hockey, Sovereignty, and Sticking It to the U.S. is not just a bookit's a battle cry. In a time when American politicians discuss Canadian sovereignty like it's just another business transaction, this speculative work dares to ask: What if the fight for Canada's independence wasn't fought in backroom negotiations, but on the ice?Blending political satire, cultural commentary, and the sheer adrenaline of Summit Series 2.0, this book captures the moment when hockey became more than just a gameit became a statement of defiance. Through the unapologetic voices of Reginald "Gordie" Tremblay and Alexandre "The Ref" Leclair, readers are thrown into the most legendary fictional hockey game ever played, a winner-takes-all showdown where the stakes are nothing less than national pride.But The Frozen Line is more than just a hockey story. It's a reflection of a country pushed too far, where Canadians reclaim their economy, their travel, and their identity in the face of annexation rhetoric from Washington. From the anthem protests shaking NHL arenas to the boycott of U.S. travel that leaves Florida in financial freefall, every page crackles with the energy of a nation standing its ground.And at the heart of it all is The Moose & Herald, the last truly independent Canadian newspaper, and its fearless senior correspondent, Emily Richardson. Sharp-tongued and relentless, Emily has spent her career exposing the quiet erosion of Canadian sovereignty and calling out the powers that would rather see this country as a mere extension of their own. She does not believe in false neutrality. She does not believe in appeasement. And she certainly does not believe that Canada should sit quietly while Washington eyes it like a future acquisition.If you believe that Canada is not for sale, if you've ever felt that deep, unshakable love for the game, and if you're ready to drop the gloves and push back against the narrative that annexation is "inevitable"this book is for you.Because in case anyone still needs reminding: This is our country. This is our game. And we are not backing down.

So You Want to Annex Canada? That's Adorable. is a scathing, satirical, and unrelenting takedown of America's quiet assumption that Canada's sovereignty is just a technicality waiting to be signed away.For decades, Washington has treated Canada as its personal supply closetcheap resources, compliant trade policies, and a government too polite to object when industries get swallowed whole by American corporate giants. But what happens when Canada stops playing along? What happens when the oil, the lumber, and the manufactured goods stop flowing at a discount? What happens when Canadiansshockingly, stubbornlysay no?This book, penned by The Moose & Herald's Desmond Everard, dives headfirst into the political absurdity, economic bullying, and sheer arrogance behind the U.S.'s ongoing attempts to treat Canada as a future acquisition rather than a sovereign nation. With sharp wit and unforgiving analysis, Everard pulls apart the trade disputes disguised as "fair policy," the tariffs masquerading as national security measures, and the diplomatic backhanding that frames every Canadian effort at independence as "bad for North America"which is code for bad for Washington. Why is America suddenly worried about Canada's shifting trade policies? Why do U.S. lawmakers talk about Canadian industries as if they're already under American control? Why does Washington throw a tantrum every time Canada refuses to sell itself for pennies on the dollar?If you've ever heard an American politician casually suggest that Canada's future might be best as the 51st state, this book is your antidote. Equal parts political satire, economic analysis, and cultural defense, So You Want to Annex Canada? That's Adorable. isn't here to debate Canadian sovereigntyit's here o remind the world that the decision has already been made.Spoiler: The answer is no.
