What about 3. Climate change renders large swaths of the US uninhabitable, leading to an exodus into Canada?


Phoenix and Las Vegas are already major metropolitan areas. With enough money invested in desalination (expensive, but cheaper than migrating a whole country) it's doubtful that any part of the US will be rendered uninhabitable.

Cheaper to nullify meteorological services and browbeat media into silence and simply tell Americans everything is fine.


That would be good for Canada - better weather, more laborers and capital and more reasons to complain about their friendly neighbors to the south.
