The Overton Window has shifted so far in just a couple of months, I'm pretty sure the glass shattered
Odd how he doesn’t make the same claims about Mexico. /s
To our Canadian friends, I'm really sorry about all this nonsense. I love Canada just the way it is. Can't wait for my next trip up to Toronto or Montreal. Always a good time. I'm a little worried that I might not get a warm welcome on the next trip though.

DOUG! BLINK THE LIGHTS A BIT, EH?
Thanks, bud. 👍
10 Provinces + 3 Territories = 1 single state's worth of representation.
GFY DT.
"Representation" under a fascist government with a would-be dictator who has promised to abolish voting. And they've been openly discussing making Canada a territory without representatives anyway.
The problem is, Canada has been secure so far because the USA has been an ally, and Russia knew that an attack on Canada from the north would be resisted by the USA. Not to mention the impracticality of the attack when the Arctic is frozen. But now the Arctic is becoming viable for ships and Canada finds itself sandwiched between two hostile nations, Russia and the USA, with the USA more likely to.collaborate with Russia in destroying Canada than to defend it. And Canada's military is very small compared to either of those countries.

This news article has been posted on r/worldnews and upvoted to be one of the top posts of the day at least twice already, and the mods remove it every single time. Feels like they are trying to cover up Trump’s plans for Canada, at least for now. Probably until more Americans can be brainwashed against Canada.

When the President of the United States says this shit, is it okay now to say - as a Canadian - that I wonder why more Americans aren't trying to kill him yet? Like, what the hell is going on? HE IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED.
I think they think it’s futile, since bullets didn’t work. But we have other means. Like remote controlled flying things.

I would think no, but considering that I posted the article, I’d leave it for other mods to act on if necessary.
A bit of a grey area to me as it’s just wondering, not actually suggesting.
There HAS to be news that's not being covered about shit like this. I refuse to believe that in a country of nearly 400 million people there aren't a few with good sense

Has Canada considered adopting USA as a province? USA seems like it needs help.
Vermont could apply to join Quebec. If they can commit to learn some French. I'm wed get along very fine.
No way in hell do we want that electorate anywhere near our government.

Canada will be waiting!
If we had a working government, the 25th would have been invoked a few times ago. It's one thing to go along with Grandpa as he rattles of craziness, but when Grandpa has power to make those things happen, and when the ones around him are somehow seeing the demands as rational...what a screwed up family.
Geezus. Is he really fucking serious about this shit?
Remember, it ain't just trumps dumbfuck ass. He's got a whole cabal of his team telling him to do this shit and encouraging him. This idiot doesn't know wtf he's doing without other people feeding him info.
We should be asking who's behind all these ideas.
Well, the two countries that would benefit from Canada's nonexistence are the USA and Russia. There might be a clue in that as to who is seeding these ideas in Republican circles.
I honestly don't think the US would benefit from Canada's non-existentence. Any sort of actual war would cause far more damage to the US than any sort of possible benefit they may see later.
Gonna make Afghanistan feel like a trial run when Canadians and sympathetic Americans fight back.
I would not be surprised at all if the white house gets burned down again if they actually attacked us.

Who the fuck is Trump to decide if we’re a sovereign country or not.
At this point: Death to Trump. Murder Trump. Eradicate Trump.
I’ll fight and die for this country.
TRUMP DESERVES DEATH!!!
We’ve been subjected to costs that we shouldn’t be subjected to. In the case of Canada, we’re spending 200 billion a year to subsidize Canada. I love Canada, I love the people of Canada. I love I have many friends in Canada. The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great. Hey, how good is Wayne Gretzky? He’s a great one.
why tf does the media present this as anything other than unhinged dementia word salad
Is Quayle still alive? He’s gotta be pissed about the “potatoe” thing.
I have no idea what the fuck he's talking about in terms of "subsidizing" Canada. Either he has absolutely no idea how trade defects work or he's purposefully playing dumb since apparently Canada needs the US less than the US needs Canada
Assuming he believes his words (as opposed to using rhetoric to get what he or someone around him wants, in either case unfortunately, I think he's serious). I think he sees anything purchased from another country as "subsidizing" that country. To him, its money the US had that Canada now has. I sometimes think he somehow thinks the US should be given things, because...??? Every transaction has to have a "winner" and a "looser" and whoever has a + on the balance sheet is the winner, it doesn't matter what that + really means. (I can only bend my logic so far to try to figure these things out)
I think thats pretty much it. For trump there are no relationships or compromises. Every single thing is about winning or losing. Eating is him winning against the food.

Thanks, now Canada can more easily commit to exporting its energy and resources to Asia and Europe.
Canada will outlive Trump.
Yeah. Hopefully Canada can completely detach from the cancer that my home country has become. And same goes for everywhere else.
For the greater good of the rest of the planet- everyone needs to cut ties with this festering disease of a “nation.” And I sincerely hope it happens.
