It’s blatant extortion now.
I hope that people in the Pentagon remember that following illegal orders is a crime, too, and you cannot be forced to do so. Something established in Nürnberg when they took care of the Nazis.
An order to attack Canada, Mexico, Greenland, or Panama would basically be such an illegal order.
This is not the first time the US has made up bullshit in order to attack a country: WMDs in Iraq, communism in Vietnam, Russia said there were nazis in Ukraine to justify that war. The military only needs a lie and then it’s not illegal anymore. The lies are already circulating. “canada is communist” “canada hurts the US”
He has the memory of a cod and the backbone of a slug, this is all bluster and he’ll cave the moment anyone he knows tells him otherwise.
Strongman my ass
I’m not sure it’s technically illegal, and I’m very doubtful that the current judiciary would find it so. But it is unconscionable. And insane.
It’s not technical illegal at all. Nothing he does is. The Supreme Court made him king.
… And you think the trump government cares about some German town (as trump would explain that)?
Lol the Pentagon isn’t afraid to fake evidence to support an invasion. Remember the aluminium tubes? Remember yellow cake uranium? I remember.
When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?
I’m sorry but let’s not forget that Iraq was a thing.
The solution is easy. Canada is already bigger than the USA, so the US should join Canada.
We would vote and then make Canada as shitty as the US is.
Fuck, guess I’m buying some guns.
I wonder how many people know you can download for free or purchase the files for 3D printed guns. The additional parts can be bought, legally, in discreet kits from easy to find online sellers - but many of those parts can be bought or modified from commercially available hardware. I wonder if people know that.
but where do you get ghost bullets for your ghost guns?
The receiver is the part of the gun with a serial number that has to be reported to the government when sold or transferred. Every other part and ammunition are normal goods with few restrictions.
Only one part needs to be self crafted to make and fire a ghost gun. They are not impossible to detect through investigation or forensics, they’re just unregistered.
Walmart.
In the spirit of the Ukrainians on Snake Island, I say “American president, go fuck yourself”
Garbage news source. Trump never posed that ultimatum.
It’s a given if you understand how it all works.
I’ll break it down for you;
What has he said many times recently regarding Canada that has been so newsworthy?
Could it be something about the US absorbing them as the 51st state? He has stated several times that he has no intention to let up, or “bend” on this- or offer any conditions. So, it’s acceptable to assume that the answer to this question lends fairly well to the next one:
What do you think will need to happen before he decides to drop the tariffs?
As stated, he’s offered no conditions. Which is not a stretch to conclude that-
He won’t drop the tariffs until…
To all Canadians, us sane Americans would rather you prefer as you are. This is a concrete example of a “president” that just thinks the way to “lead” is by writing as many executive orders as possible and pressuring other countries to meet ridiculous demands by initiating trade wars and threatening them.
A complete bully.
He’s not a bully.
He’s a fascist.
You guys need to get serious about saying, that real fast.
America has a fascist government, and Americans need to figure out how to do something about that.
It took Hitler less than a hundred days to go from elected to dictator. And from there it took less than four years to invade Poland and start WW2.

I know that many Americans don’t like this either. But Canada is unable to defend itself against the US military without serious help. And I don’t completely trust that a US population that couldn’t be bothered to vote against Trump would take any action to stop him if he were to give the order to invade.
Canada could never defend itself from the US military. Never. Canada could only do asymmetrical warfare and insurgency. But it would also never end. So the US would have to kill all 41 million of us to put a stop to us going FLQ 2 electric boogaloo on them until the end of time. Also we would poison pill all our resources as well. If we can’t have what’s rightfully ours, neither can the fucking USA. Scorched earth.
They aren’t fighting to save their own democracy. They won’t fight to save ours.

Oh fuck off. We’re past ballot box, now at jury box. No where close to bullet box.
Truth.
There’s no way he would invade with military force. It would not only be political suicide, it would collapse NATO and likely the Western world as unified entity. With Russia’s aggression and China’s ascension, the stakes are way to high for a potentially catastrophic move like that.
it would collapse NATO and likely the Western world as unified entity.
I suspect that’s the point. Trump wants it to happen.
Today Dementia Don sat next to Mark Rutte Head of NATO and spewed his fucking 51st nonsense and talked about erasing our border. Rutte said NOTHING. Fuck NATO to hell.

So many people calling for his assassination…
Yes.
According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they’re related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they’re being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they’re going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.
if canada is threatened they can just cut out all traffic to ALASKA, starve the state.
This abministration wouldn’t give a shit.
Well, that and also the fact that Canadians currently see the US as a severely indebted dumpster fire where the system is specifically designed to exploit and oppress its citizens for the profit of the few. A police state where cops can assault, rob, unlawfully imprison and murder anyone without repercussion, where your insurance company will deny you life saving treatments to make more money despite charging you twice what Canadians pay for their own health insurance through their slightly higher taxes, where the cost of education is absurdly prohibitive and social mobility is nonexistent, where it is legal to pay someone a salary that is not even enough to keep them lodged and fed while working over 50 hours a week on several jobs, where corporations can sell you food containing ingredients that are known to be harmful to your health, where religious zealots with belief systems that belong to the dark ages wield significant political power, where citizens are locked up for simple violations while rich people get away with murder, where entertainment TV shows can spew out pure disinformation while calling themselves “
FOXNews” where Corporations are being given human rights that take priority over real humans and their political donations are considered “free speech”, where any moron can buy a gun without even having a single clue on how to use it safely and where the violent crime rate is through the roof, all that while chanting about being the greatest country on Earth.And that was before we even take Trump into consideration. But hey, he said we could keep our anthem because he likes it and that we’d pay lower taxes. So I guess that makes it worth it now?
Hey, that’s my view of the US too, from ground zero!
If they give in
lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. Canada literally exists because we didn’t want to be part of the US. If you want Washington burned down a second time, keep at it.
I don’t understand their endgame here. I’m sure they could take over Canada by force if they wanted, but keeping it is a whole other matter. They should have learned from the many wars they fought that occupying land the locals don’t want you to occupy sucks.
Something something “greeted as liberators” only for real
Fuckit. I’ll greet the Canadians at the boarder as liberators.
Many of us will welcome you with open arms.
Gotta go further south this time. Warching Mar-a-Lago burn will be fun.
Turning North America into Canada, South Canada, and Mexico would be a nice sight
Upper Canada, lower Canada and discount Canada
If it gives me single payer healthcare? I, for one, welcome our new Canadian overlords.
It’s being dismantled by Conservative provincial governments. And in Ontario at least, people can’t even be bothered to vote for a party that will preserve it. But I’d rather stay an independent country with problems that be taken by the USA.
And as a respected media personality I can help round up others so they may toil in your underground
sugarmaple syrup caves.We have cheese caves, too.
I’m down, I know the area well. We can call it the March of the Snowbirds.
Don’t tease us. You’re getting some of us excited here.
You promise!? I’ll bring the popcorn
Hey, I’m not gonna complain, might even cheer you on. This administration is off the rails already and we are barely a few months in.
Yeah, we need an adult to come save us.
…
Do you promise? That doesn’t sound so bad, tbh.
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.
Just open everything with…first of all “Fuck Trump”
First of all, fuck Trump.
…actually I guess that’s all I really had on my mind. Carry on.
We hate your government and its supporters and those who couldn’t be bothered to vote and we won’t buy your shit anymore forever but you’ll be fine to visit as a tourist.
Fuck Trump. Loser cannot die soon enough.
Hopefully after the next election. We wouldn’t wanna have Adolph Vance do something stupid. Like a few days to a week should be fine. Meanwhile I’d be totally fine with an increasing level of dementia? Like maybe he declares war on Mexico on Sunday, but then travels there for vacation Tuesday, then Wednesday he declares war on Mexico again from Mexico. It could get interesting. So long as he shuts down the government for most of the year, were good.
Personally hoping he just drops dead, but that a week or two beforehand, he and Loveseat have some public falling out about…something, honestly the specifics don’t matter. Hell, it could even be something that never actually happened and is just the dementia taking hold. Point is, if he rages against Vance on Truth or wherever and then keels over, every qanon dumbfuck in creation is going to collectively cream their pants over that shiny new conspiracy, and while we will technically be stuck with President Loveseat, that would nerf the fuck out of him.
Sounds like a novel. Well with any luck I hope you’re right.
it wouldn’t be soon enough if he died 25 years ago.
His death won’t solve our problems. We’ll have Trump adjacent Russian puppet who will run and win. Trump has admitted to fixing the election, so the r’s know they can repeat their strategy again effectively.
fucking Luigi this guy for God’s sake anyone
DOUG! BLINK THE LIGHTS A BIT, EH?
Thanks, bud. 👍
I just don’t understand how he got caught on this thought? I’m no foreign policy wonk, but I just don’t get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It’s like a weird parody that I don’t know enough about to understand.
Is he just Putining?
Some believe it’s a distraction. A Flood the Zone tactic.
I hope for everyone’s sake- this is true. If Trump wants to destroy America, so be it. One could argue we deserve it. But this doesn’t need to involve Canada in any capacity.
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.
Canada should join BRICS
Canada should sell the $378 billion it owns of US debt.
They should join the EU or something like that with the rest of the west that isn’t fascist.
… You think BRICS is fascist?
Russia and China are involved so that poisons it for me
It’s an economic bloc, not NATO. They just trade.
Yeah, look what just trading with the wrong partner has done for us so far.
… are you arguing that BRICS is going to place sanctions Canada if they join? Literally what consequences would there be?
They are evil anti democratic shit holes. No one should be trading with any of them.
Why do you hate Brazil?
With how racist they are towards China?
I mean it would work out better for them but I’m pretty sure brics doesn’t need such an economic and cultural drag, even if it would be very, very funny.
