If Canadians seeing this can take anything from the last few months, it’s that they have got to get out there and vote.
‘IT WAS MEANT TO BE!’ Trump Trolls ‘Great People of America’ Let US Take Over Country and Serve US. Fixed it for you!
Of course he couldn’t keep his mouth shut for the whole month. Gonna be consequences, Donny.
So he can destroy their economy and international standing too?
Can someone slap this guy already?
“slap”
Best I can do is slam
“Don’t you want empty ports too???”
Big beautiful ports. The biggest ports.
I’m keeping my cents on the Simpsons timeline.
I’m actually kind of glad to see this. Should drive turnout for Carney.

Ah yes another liberal who’ll fail to defend our countries borders, another Trudeau but this time with pizzaz.
If there ever is a war with the US I sure as shit want access to real firearms, none of this 3 rounds per mag headache we got now.
And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?
We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you’ll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.
And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world,
Their tech is pretty advanced I’ll give you that, but i sure as hell know if people had more access to firearms we could actually have a chance to defend ourselves from such a threat.
Our military is a joke technology & armoury wise, simple and plain, the more people who stand to defend the better.
We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence
This is where we differ, I fully believe South Korea has the right idea to train all their children in CQB and to safely handle firearms given how close North Korea is.
The same should apply to Canadians, we have a potential threat down south and a small handful of people actually know what they’re doing.
we need a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence.
I 100% agree however, I don’t think we’ll ever see this in our lifetime with another Liberal leader.

A couple hours at the range is better than no hours at the range.
You misunderstand.
Yes, one Canadian with an assault rifle can’t do much against 5 American drones.
But one Canadian with an assault rifle can do much against 5 off-duty American soldiers relaxing in a restaurant.
Yeah… nah. I don’t want school shootings as a trade off to a hypothetical American invasion, plus, pp would fucking bend over and spread to trump. A handgun or a 30 round mag won’t make a difference.

So hypothetical school shootings are better eh? Keep in mind I’m not pushing for the Canadian version of the 4th amendment, as you see in another one of my comments I encourage proper safety training beforehand.
No? Having more, higher capacity weapons will lead to more shootings.
The data is already there, RCMP chiefs across the country endorse it, targeting licensed firearms owners is not the answer to solve gun crime.
Majority of our gun related crime comes from illegally smuggled firearms from the US.
I do want to say, there are many things about our fire arm laws that are absurd. I’m sure there is some common ground there. The fact that I can’t have a suppressor is stupid. And the OIC was poorly done and, to be frank idiotic.
I appreciate your candour to the situation, I respectfully disagree with your other comment and believe the privilege is being slowly taken away from us, so yes I think we’re being targeted, at this point it’s too late to argue and all I can do is hope they rethink the buyback program.
So glad I bought a 22lr Kriss Vector for them to ban it days later, now I can go and have it disabled so I don’t have to sell it.

hey, quick question, what does the US have? Higher capacity magazines right? More fire arms too… now instead of them being smuggled they can be locally sourced?
Firearms are a privilege, not a right. We are not being " targeted". The answer to gun crime is to remove the root cause. But having high capacity magazines, and hand guns more available will lead to more gun violence…
I can’t think of a more helpful thing he could have said.
Cringe
Vote!
Edit: I’m addressing Canadians.

Pretty sure they meant Canadians
Yup that makes much more sense sorry
If you mean “go vote to change things” or something along those lines, then I need to remind you that only people from USA can vote in the USA elections and that not everyone you’ll find online is from USA. Have a good day.
Canadian election is today. Who they choose is who’s gonna have to handle or succumb to Trump.
Good for Canadians then, I wish them the best.
I need to remind you that only people from USA can vote in the USA elections and that not everyone you’ll find online is from USA. Have a good day.
I was addressing my fellow Canadians, because the Canadian election is today. Ironically, it seems you assumed I was an American talking about the USA.
No, I simply assumed your comment was referred to me since that’s who you were answering to.
Sorry… is hectoring supposed to be heckling? Trump is the hector in this case; he can’t make Canada the hector. When the first non-proper-noun word out of a writer’s keyboard is that far off what they meant, I have difficulty taking anything else they write as anything but regurgitated vaguely understood hearsay.
Hectoring is to act domineering, or to try to intimidate.
Ackshually it’s only Hectoring if you drag them behind your chariot, otherwise it’s just sparkling heckling.
That reminds me, Troy deserves a rewatch soon. Love those fight scenes.
Isn’t that movie notoriously terrible?
For whoever is interested in reading it, I quite liked the Peter Green translation. Fair warning though, it’s quite long, longer than the Odyssey.
Oh I wasn’t saying it was a good movie. It does have a greased up Brad Pitt flying through the air stabbing dudes with a spear though. Sometimes that’s all you need from a film.
I never said it wasn’t a word; it means bully. But hectored doesn’t mean bullied the way we use that in English—it would mean to create a bully.
The link to the “ing” version in their first link does support the use in the article. TIL also.
Nope. It’s an out-of-use term, but it is definitely a synonym of bullying.
He literally said he was not trolling.
And even in the most insanely charitable world where we assume he is “trolling”, he’s still saying an intensely offensive thing to Canadians without any reason other than “lulz.” That’s the most charitable possible interpretation and it’s still awful.
Of course, most Americans don’t realize it’s an intensely offensive thing. That’s a major part of the problem.
As someone who lives in America, I don’t understand how anyone DOES NOT think it’s offensive and threatening and a horrible stance for a president to have. But the ones that don’t think it’s a big deal is how we got where we are and I’m disappointed in my country… again.
I wonder if Musk taught him this trick. He keeps pulling it out of his ass every time negative news (that he actually cares about like his recent polling numbers) comes out and he wants to distract from it. This is exactly what Musk used to do before he took the mask off.
THIS^^^ it’s just all “I’m embarrassed he’s the POTUS” meanwhile Murikkkans can’t comprehend for a second the offensiveness and frankly - violence that talk of a 51st state represents to Canada.
Of course, most Americans don’t realize it’s an intensely offensive thing. That’s a major part of the problem.
“America is the greatest nation on earth, why wouldn’t another country want to be part of it?”
That’s what happens when a population is spoon-fed “patriotism” from birth. All the nationalism and propaganda is doing its job promoting American exceptionalism while diminishing empathy and critical thinking.
No way in hell would I want to be part of that dumpster fire shit hole.
Reciting every day in school how great your country is, is peak brainwashing to me. When I learned about that, it was so weird to me.
Yeah after a while I just stayed seated during the pledge, seems goofy as hell to be performed everyday at school.
Face it, the US is no different from North Korea at this point. Total cult of personality.
Don’t confuse not knowing with not caring.
How about you worry about your own shithole country.
Trump is gonna be so butthurt that after he told Canadians to elect PeePee who was gonna make Canada the 51st state, Canadians took away his seat. Nope nope nope.
