Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!
....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?
STFU about this fucking petulant imperialist nonsense. 40 million insurgents is what this orange fuckface will get. US is not getting one fucking square CENTIMETRE of Canadian land. I used metric on purpose too. fuck the USA.
I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.
He says the US doesn't need Canada, we should do the same.
He says the US doesn't need Canada but also wants to annex it.
The US absolutely does need Canada's natural resources. The Canadian people and its sovereignty stand between him / America and that golden goose.
If you recall the colonial era, when a stronger nation wants the resources of a weaker nation, it generally does not go well for the weaker nation.
Canada needs to accelerate the process of partnering with other nations now. It is never going to win a trade war against the US alone. Reciprocal tariffs are not going to cut it. Time to diversify the customer base and then tell the Americans to pound sand when they inevitably come knocking.
Canada is already the only G7 nation that has a free trade agreement with all other G7 nations.

He was sitting right next to the Chair of NATO today when he said this fucking bullshit yet again. The NATO chair said NOTHING even though Orange Shittler talked about violent annexation of a G7 NATO member and (in normal times) ally of the US. Canadians - are you ready to fucking FLQ 2 electric boogaloo ??? Cause it’s looking like that more and more every day.
If he really means that, then Punxsutawney Trump has just forecast another four years of recession.
Come to Canada.
Find out.
And there you have it. It was never about fentanyl. It was always about annexation (i should just call it as it is and call it invasion). And that’s why there was never anything that Canada could do to stop the tariffs.
Not much i can do from across the ocean, except join in the boycott. But i’m boycotting anything American. Not just products of red states. I want to see America burn, and for Americans to lay the blame squarely on Trump, Elon, the Republican party and the 31% of Americans who are too stupid or racist to recognise a con.
Texan here. The boycott will help! The worse it is for America now, the better we’ll all be in the long run. Make Americans remember that we’re part of a global community.
54% of Americans read at below a 6th grade level and half do not have a passport. They are fed propaganda from a young age to believe that their nation is the absolute best and with such poor literacy it's doubtful that they ever question it.
Teaching Americans that they're part of a global community is an uphill battle. The populace has been in a state of being dumbed down to the point of accepting someone like Trump for several decades now.
I think if this stupid bastard makes any kind of military moves, there will be an uprising. Invading a long-standing ally is ridiculous.
Mango Mussolini is commander in chief of the us army. The army does what it is told. The US army won’t save Canada from the US army.
I got it in 2020, but I can't imagine being in the military right now. We might attack an ally or we might commit a genocide. Neither of which I can support or accept as a lawful order.
It's incredible. Trump lost it a long time ago. He has no connection to reality. He's mentally disabled. Yet world leaders now have to seriously respond to the incoherent shit that falls out of his mouth.
He's actually more coherent than during his first presidency. They must be coaching the shit out of him.
Is it even him talking, or someone behind his back rotating him around to scream in one direction or another?
It's as though Trump think's he's the first person in history to realise that canada has some nice things.
If you have a $200b trade deficit you can just take over that country and then there's no deficit.
In the spirit of the Ukrainians on Snake Island, I say "American president, go fuck yourself"
