Anyone making “thanks trump” stickers for when our gas prices go through the roof and stick it at gas stations like they did with Biden

This is going to be the weirdest part of any history book. People reading and trying to understand why the US suddenly turned on and invaded their close ally of Canada in a failed annexation attempt immediately after watching Russia struggle a similar (though less surprising) annexation of Ukraine, which the US helped fight against.

America really wants to invite a Canadian sized IRA on themselves, I suppose they can fuck around and find out.

The more he focuses on this instead of ruining the lives of migrants, refugees, and queer people, the better. This is absurd enough to be funny instead of just stoking hate crimes.

Sure the economic consequences are really bad but just starting a trade war for the sake of being a messy bitch and no other apparent reason is kinda funny.

You used to be able to say "It's all about the oil" but in this case "It's all about the eggs"

The 51st state? Hard pass. Canada’s healthcare system alone would collapse under the weight of your insulin price gouging. Cherished state? More like a hostile takeover by a country that thinks avocado toast is a personality trait.

Those 25% tariffs? Cute. We survived your 2018 tantrum—maple syrup exports outlived your presidency. Funny how “trade imbalances” vanish when your golf resorts rely on Canadian lumber.

Defense spending critiques from a guy who tried to lease Alaska back to Russia? Bold move. Our border’s secure enough to keep your conspiracy theorists from storming Parliament Hill.

Stay mad about the poutine tariffs, though.

I mean, even though I'm still not fully sure how American elections work, wouldn't Canada be a huge blue state and lead to a lot more of Democrats winning?

I'm amazed at how quickly the US has come close to being on the brink of becoming a rogue state.

Better to make california the 13th province.

I think Americans who don't agree with trump should raise the Canadian flag.

When someone go outside, beat people up, come home, they are mostly likely will beat whoever at home when they speak up.

Throughout last year, the US didn't stop supporting the war crimes of Israel, either by providing them with money, weapons, and sending American soldier to the area just in case. Canadian didn't say much and kept quiet. Now Trump picking up the legacy of the United States foreign policy back home.

Canada should make it clear that they are not taking these statements as joke and expell the US ambassador.

Just imagine if Indea or China or even Russia said the same.

What crazy is that, I didn't hear any statement so far from Canadian allies to denounce trump statement.

If I understand correctly Canada has a kind of similar worldview as Nordic countries. Traiding that to a right wing capitalist shit hole like US would be a no go.

Welp, I guess someone finally told him about the whole Mexico and Canada promised him things we already did and ended the tariffs.

An invasion of Canada would result in so many Americans defecting and fighting for Canada or not cooperating and probably a Civil War when the west coast states (and possibly New England) secede. I imagine the military leadership would sooner stage a coup than cooperate and invade/occupy Canada. Plus, the entire world would side with Canada.

It’s the ramblings of a senile buffoon. There’s absolutely no one else calling for this (or invading Greenland/Panama) and no support from 80% of Americans — and close to 100% with people of fighting age. Even most MAGA idiots are isolationists.

And don’t forget, basically every major U.S. city is extremely blue. When you look at a red state/blue state map, remember that it’s actually an urban/rural divide. Port cities are especially blue. (Look at Louisiana for an example. A deep red state but Orleans Parish went 82% for Harris/Walz. Good luck winning any war with 90% of the port cities in full revolt.)

My grandfather was in Alsace-Lorraine during the German occupation in WWII. Thanks to a warning from a neighboring village he barely escaped being drafted into the Nazi army and had to go into hiding, surviving in the forest on his own until the end of the war. He never admitted whether he ever had to kill someone or not. But my mother remembers hearing him scream every night from the nightmares.

Now I'm in Canada and I'm wondering if this kind of thing is going to become a family tradition.

I seriously doubt the top brass would obey orders to invade Canada. The administration knows this as well and there will be a blitzkrieg of military firing coming very, very soon.

Not sure how that plays though, they can't go too fast without alienating the entire armed services.

Say shit about Canada, our friends. Stoke anti America shit. Decrease odds of friendly relations.

Might as well.

Edit: not like people aren't already talking, or woe is us, it's just... bullshit. It's like someone who hates Lincoln Park going up to people and making annoying statements about the band being the greatest and shitting on other music, hoping some people get mad and start trashing Lincoln Park. It's a circus.

The US couldn't hold baghdad?

does he have a deal with putin?

"lemme have canada and greenland, and the canal, and i'll let you take eastern europe back--starting with ukraine and nato will not be in your way"

How about we give our Northeastern and Western states to Canada? We'll even take Alberta off your hands.
