We like our women with bodily autonomy and with the right to choose.
We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.
We like our heads of state to be respectful and respected on the world stage.
We like our right to privacy without surveillance, and our civil servants free from Krasnov’s oligarchs.
Most importantly, we like our beer to be unshittified!
Sincerely,
The Canadians who haven’t already fallen victim to your propaganda.

We’re having a bit of trouble with the protest one but I like your spirit!
Might be time for a EU expansion
Saw this years ago and honestly couldn’t be more fitting today.
Blackmail
I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.
This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the Québec-Windsor corridor.
I think Ontario has already paused the Export tax unfortunately. But I would absolutely call his bluff. An attack on Canada would mean a full-blown article 5 crisis before Trump has all of the cards that he wants. While he might be that stupid. Others in his administration aren’t.
Just in case, a good show from Carney would be to deploy the military to the area because of an increased threat of terrorism.
He can’t attack a nato member
Legally, no. But why should he follow the rules when he’s gotten off for every other crime he’s committed?
What Trump can or can’t do is absolutely meaningless to him. He doesn’t care. Chaos is the point.
Yes, but actually maybe
He’ll pull out of NATO 5 minutes before his troops cross the border
He’s just like Putin, he won’t do shit.
Im pretty sure Putin did shit.
Won’t do anything except invade your country while commiting human rights violations for years?
Bring it.
As a Canadian, I do not want to be at the center of a stupid war. I like to hope we got more intelligent in the last 100 years but seeing how many people want bloodshed sure isn’t a great sign.
Nobody wants bloodshed, but if the US brings it, we will make sure there is as much American blood spilled as possible.
Thats war. Nobody wants war, but if you bring it to our soil we will fight. That simple.
The issue isn’t so much that most Canadians don’t like war, it’s that war is on our doorstep and all the efforts we’ve made to avoid it haven’t worked.
I know a couple of men who can’t be reasoned with or cajoled into doing what’s right. They’re the type who will murder someone because they felt offended.
That’s what Trump is like as well. There is no half-way, no compromise. It’s his way or the highway. So essentially we have little to no choice in the matter. We either fight or we become the 51st state (or more likely a tereitory that has zero say in gov’t but who are taxed like they do).
And that’s the mindset that drives wars. Misdirected anger. We aren’t mad at the average american, not even their soldiers.
Who do you think wins? The soldiers that have been martyred on either side? Or the sociopath sitting beside the fire chuckling at the chaos they manifested?
I mean, the US has been a major violator of human rights for…decades? Longer? Since it’s inception possibly? I mean just look at their prison system. Or the whole Guantanamo thing. Or the ICE concentration camps.
Then it’ll be FLQ 2 electric boogaloo
I’d rather the West Coast become part of Canada.
Fuck no. There are more Republicans in California than in Texas.
You are not wrong but by proportional representation where Democrats far outnumber them, they will never win in policy so long as we don’t do something stupid like voting by land rather than people.
That’s still way too many right-wingers to add to our country. It’s already bad enough that we have to deal with AB and SK.
I think they should secede and form their own union and then we can ally with them at least as close as we allied with the US. I don’t wanna let them in until they’ve dealt with the baggage that’ll come with that breakup, like the gun obsessed rednecks.
Fair enough. I’m trying to convince Cascadia to secede bit by bit.
This broadcasts his insecurities about being clueless how the economy or anything works, and has surrounded himself with yes men idiots that can’t even bail him out of this hole he dug himself. A big tell is he is so pissed he is giving them over 4 wks to lift their electricity premium.
As an American I say Canada should just go the “we don’t bargain with terrorists” approach and just cut the electric today. Call the bully’s bluff.
Sad thing is is Ontario has already taken the surcharge away, because he is going down to DC to get the shake down.
I hope he comes back and just turns the power off.
Ford is loving every minute of his US media tour. I hate that he’s our spokesperson down there though.
What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?

No one wants this, this old diapered man needs to go back into the home
I can’t think of a single troop I’ve ever met who’s had it out for Canada, quite the opposite. This whole thing is coming from one person and he didn’t campaign on it at all. This makes as much sense to Canadians as it does to Americans. No one asked for this, not even the mouth-breathing Trumpers.
No one wants to be america. People want to be human beings that are able live as human beings. People don’t want to be pawns to a machine that sucks humanity and souls from living bodies.
It’s funny how mericans are always like ‘I’m 1/8th Irish and 2/3 German’ as if they are a breed of dog
Do Canadians not do that? I’d have thought so considering Canada has had waves of settlers much like the US; but I’ve not met many Canadians, so I wouldn’t know.
Better than being American?
Am American. Can confirm, would really like to be something else.
Same. Like, damn, I’m a queer leftist woman who takes an SSRI. This administration wants me in a camp for sure and I would happily change nationalities if it were possible. I’m rooting for the Canadians (and the rest of the world that isn’t insane), except PP and his ilk.
…are you me?
Add being an anti-zionist Jew, and we could be twins.
Americans don’t even want to be American
It’s true. It feels like the only place on the planet that rewards being that ignorant and hateful lout at the party who thinks compassion is some type of gay sex.
This is so true, lol. And it’s just like America to attach sex to everything little miniscule thing. If they weren’t serious it would be comical.
Another thing. Sex/nudity is only okay in media. Anything goes when it’s sold mainstream, but if you have kink… Bam! You automatically a pervert, and if your are gay, your a pedophile rapist pervert.
And what wild is they create these people they hate. These sexual deviances probably wouldn’t happen if America wasn’t so prudish in real life. There’s such a a dissonance in terms of sexuality, nudity, media and reality.
Am American, can confirm.
The man wants to make deals, right, so make a deal. (warning I’m an American and know just enough about Canadian government to be dangerous)
“Join” the United States of America under these conditions:
- Mexico can join too if they want
- Each Province or State of joining countries becomes a State
- The Constitutions of all countries apply only to the States it previously applied to while a new Constitution is written
- The rules of the Constitutional Convention must be agreed to by both a majority of the joining States and 2/3 of all States
Please make this deal. Our governments are all too old to work great in this age but maybe we can forge a new design fit for the 2000s if we erase most of it and start fresh.
Cherished. Hah.
I’ll cherish commiting war crimes if it escalates.
We’ll invent some new Geneva suggestions. It’s not a war crime if it’s the first time.
Invade my country? There are no rules.
Narcissistic abuser tactics, as usual. “I’ll be so good to you, babe, the
beatingstariffs will stop if you become mywife51st state.”Trump and Republicans trying to convince Canada they’ll be treated well while they’re pissing all over their colony in DC right in front of everyone.
If we get in, Puerto Rico has to get in as well.
I’ll cherish Trump when he’s 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.
Hopefully this afternoon.
