MODERATORS
Look down at the North Pole. Alaska, Russia, Greenland, Canada. Shipping lanes and oil. Lots of oil.
Putin wants it all. Trump is either a Russian asset or playing the same game, looking ahead 20 years.
Distraction
Someone accidentally left the TV on Canadian Bacon and he caught a few minutes of it before he went to speak with reporters.
Many theories:
- Trudeau has criticized Trump in the past so it's just a revenge quest
- Trump wants to be emperor and trying to rule over neighbors is just what emperors do
- Just some delusionial Trump bullshit that demonstrates his mental decline
- (highly speculative) Influence from Elon, whose grandfather wanted to turn Canada into an NRx-style white supremacist corprate-fascist state 80 years ago and failed, hence the move to south africa. Conceivably Elon wants Trump to make him governor of Canada so he can finish the job. Generally I'm not in favor of wild intruguing speculation like this but it's just too fun/horrifying to pass up.
I think he's just obsessed with controlling the arctic, since it's going to be ice-free soon (and thus incredibly important for global shipping)
It's why his 3 main "targets" are Canada, Greenland, and Panama (for the canal)
Russia has long threatened Canada from the north, but Canada's alliance with the USA deterred it from attacking. Now the USA is considering stealing Canada's resources and gaining access to strategic Arctic waters, Russia will also know that Canada is vulnerable because the USA will no longer defend it. So now these two predators are circling Canada and may even be coordinating plans with one another.
I extremely doubt that Trump would give any of Canada to Russia. Just because he wants Canada doesn't mean he wouldn't interfere with a Russian invasion, to the contrary. He would probably use it as a pretext to anex Canada, but either way that's never gonna happen. Russia doesn't have the strength to invade Canada and it would be immensely stupid to do so.
While it sounds feasible, I wouldn't think Russia has the leeway to flush more men into another losing invasion.
That’s what all the money in the Social Security Administration is for.
Oof.
The real question is will we still have legalized recreational cannabis in Colorado when tmurp loses and we become a province?
Yes! But still belligerent Range Rovering tourists making a mess of your resorts and swanning about.
Everyone! Mexico has oil, silver, gold and scantly clad women in very nice beach front resorts.
America has been subsidizing Canada
2024: Canada imports ~$480 billion total from the USA. Divided by 40 million Canadian population, that's $12,000 for every man, woman, and child spent on American shit.
USA imports ~$586 billion from Canada. Divided by 400 million population, that's only $1,465 per capita, and that's only 1/8th of the amount that Canadians bought from the USA in return.
##BUY CANADIAN, BE FAIR!
You can't compare apples to apples when one side of the equation has 10 times the population. If we're trying to be fair, Trumpistan needs to buy 8 times more Canadian shit!
Tariffs on the Canadian side will be reciprocal and will only serve to make us stop buying Murcan shit, leading to an even bigger Trumped-up deficit and the loss of their biggest, best customer. Likely long-term.
Does Canada have car manufacturers?
Lol, not sure if you're serious. Canada manufactures Ford, Honda, GMC, etc.

There's no point in overanalyzing Trump's claims, he lies constantly. Regardless of the numbers, buying things is not subsidizing.
His supporters really believe every word he says. I've seen them on this site and others, complaining about how Canada leeches off the USA. If you ask them how, you get silence, because they have no idea. Their thought process seems to be: Trump says it, then I say it.
Canada is not.
You can't neg us into statehood!
