Why is it every time I hear this shitstain-tan asshole go on about taking my country, all I can think of is the British of 1812 burning down the White House and a passing thought of "hang on now..."

How far off of "We have to liberate Americans in Canada from tyrannical French-Canadian rule" are we?

Yes, Putin invaded Ukraine on the premise that people need protection from Ukrainian government.

This VP Trump is boring

It just occurred to me that all the major world powers want to absorb everything else around them because we're actually just living in 1984 and this is the beginning of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia.

What are we in danger of? Having too many resources that don't belong to the US? I'm waiting for someone to wake up and realize the third time's the charm so we can stop having to entertain this idiot.

How precise are Canada's targeting systems? I don't want a war with you guys because my idiot president will carpet bomb your cities...you could theoretically end this whole fiasco in 3-5 preemptive missile strikes...just putting that out there if anyone has the keys

It's much easier for someone on the inside to do it. Less political and the successor won't feel obligated to start/continue a war. It's why America sends the CIA to Venezuela (et al) instead of missiles.

I’m not expecting Trudeau to respond to stupid shit like this but he’s been pretty silent this week. I’m hoping that means he has some trade deals to announce.

The good news about global tariff threats is that it would be really easy to find allies that would match responding tariffs made against our exports or diverting required resources away from that orange fuck.

Harper came out to say that worst case if he was in Trudeau's position he would have just dealt with the bad economy for a few years until Trump gets replaced.

(Edit: my opinion from here) Introduce help measures like during COVID (some form of UBI) and regulations to prevent banks from seizing the property of those losing their job due to the tariffs and yeah we would end up with more debt as a country, but we would keep our sovereignty.

I'm sorry, Harper talked about UBI and banking regulations? The right honourable Stephen Harper? The one who had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his own caucus, to respond to the 2008 crisis with anything other than austerity?

That Harper?

Wow.

Nah, just the first part, the second part is the logical thing to do if we decide to just tough it up! I've made it clearer in my previous post.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Priorities. If there's no longer a Canada, then he doesn't get to style himself "the Right Honourable" anymore.

In danger from what? Moose, polar bears, climate change?

The president and commander in chief of the United States of America?

What is President Minidick on about now?

So it’s a protection racket. Gotcha. Brought to you by the Captured States of America.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We need to start calling them what they are, the Fascist States of America.
