1-2-3-putsch

This is important to note any time any Postmedia source is used. This is, for all intents and purposes, an arm of the Republican Party.

I hope this headline is true, but yeah for sure fuck Postmedia right in the tight spot.

Goddamn right we should. Take the French up on the offer to build the Rafale here. Or the Swedes. And get a few demo units for short term.

Fuck 'em on any cancellation fees too. Consider it partial compensation for the ridiculous trade war.

I think there are two things he wants here…and by “things he wants” I mean things that will make him and/or his wealthy oligarch buddies rich and grow their power.

The first and more near-term goal is the upcoming tax cuts for the rich, which will be trillions of dollars. To fund this, he sees at least three vehicles, that he has been pushing despite the failings of all three: (1) savings from DOGE, (2) the new gold visas, and (3) tariff income. All of these ideas are absolutely dogshit for creating income, but he seems to think they will. In his previous time in office, he even tried to use tariffs in this way. He sees tariffs as income and he’s made it clear. He knows the tax cuts will be hugely unpopular so he has to build up a story as to how they can be afforded. In the meantime if a bunch of rich short sellers make money off of market manipulation, so much the better.

The second goal, and probably more in line with the objectives of the oligarchy in the US as a whole, is to make Canada even more subservient economically to the US. They want a quiet corporate takeover of Canada. They want to depress the value then but it all up, after which we’re even more fucked than we are now. We need to cut this option off and just accept that we need to nationalize these industries, and restrict or even exclude American investment. I think the Canadian government should own at least 51% of key strategic resources, such as telecom, oil, hydro, potash, and media.

In summary, the Americans are now our enemies and should be considered as such. They want to damage our country and assume control of it. They are outright saying this. We need to stop being so fucking naive, and take solid action to prevent it.

Let the southern bastards freeze in the dark…not permanently, just a brief period, followed by an export tax. Cut power once in March, then again throughout the NBA playoffs in April.

At this point we should do this whether or not Trump reverses course. Make it clear there is nothing he can do to avoid it.

I’m sick of this market fuckery back and forth. I’m convinced he’s trying to depress the Canadian dollar and the value of Canadian companies and industries, so that oligarchs in the US can buy them up. It’s a hostile corporate takeover of our country. Fuck him, we need to go hard - permanent tariffs as long as Trump is in office…and we need legislation to ensure 51% Canadian ownership of strategic resources, as well as no American investment right now. If necessary, we need to nationalize strategic resources and industries.

What we don’t need is a fucking tax break for the rich. We’re on a war footing right now and our leaders need to accept this. The people have largely accepted it.

Thanks again bud, and I agree about sharing info, but some information is best not to share… Like if you’re feeling like doing some ‘improvising’. Know what I’m sayin’? You know, if you’re “looking to join an improv group”. Ya get me?

Yeah don’t share that info or you’ll have the RCMP at your door. You only share that info in person.

Keep up the good work!

Wow, thanks for the detailed response!

Many of them are quite pricey. What do you recommend, preferably Canadian made, that I can stock up on?

You beat me to it!

I was going to post this with the caption “Democracy’s last stand” or something similar.

Pick up some Canadian made body armour if you’re in Quebec or Ontario. Practice practice practice.

And learn how to build and fly drones. There are some great DIY drone suppliers in Toronto area.

That is a beautiful piece of hardware, with kickass livery!! Gives me a patriotic quarter chub.

I want my C7 decked out like this.

Yes, America is free to let Putin invade a sovereign country.

Of course this makes them chickenshit appeasers. Unreliable Russian bootlickers who are willing to abandon their commitments under the Budapest Memorandum. But they are free to do this.

Just don’t give me any of this “land of the free, home of the brave” bullshit. They’ve proven who they are, and they are not that. They’re fucking greedy imperialist cowards, friends of dictators and authoritarians. I hope they do us all a favour and just hurry their descent into irrelevance.

Once they’ve completed their internal collapse, and the pieces have been picked apart, a new Alaric will ride in and close the deal. Lasted less than 300 years. Pretty pathetic by comparison. But I guess the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Yes, certainly Zelensky is the baby. Very astute.

You Trumpfuckers are truly delusional. Just give it up already, he’s not gonna finish in your mouth.

I assume you’re referring to my assertions to your cowardice.

If you have a message about the master race, I implore you to try your limp-dicked, pasty-faced beer hall putsch outside the Eaton Centre. And don’t wear a mask.

Until then, go wrestle your nub ya wanker.

And you seem to be under the impression I either care what you think or care to discuss it.

I’m done talking to fascist apologists. No one cares what you think. You and I both know that you’re all puffed up behind an anonymous nym, but you’d never dare say this stupid shit in public. Slither back into your hole Trumpfucker.

Yeah look up the Mar A Lago Accord: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2025/02/25/what-a-mar-a-lago-accord-would-mean-for-the-us-dollar/

Trump wants to annex us in any way he can - economic annexation is easiest. These are serious discussions in the White House, and we need to take them seriously too.

And I can guaran-fucking-tee that Poilievre will drive straight into a US economic annexation, such as described at the link above. He will go along as the US drives us into deeper economic subjugation and dependence.

I know what it means you impotent jackweasel. My grandfather spent half a decade putting them in the cold ground, and he hated them for the rest of his life. Fuck them, and, again, fuck you too for sanewashing them.

And again, don’t forget Nazi lives don’t matter. Not even a little.

Yeah, my wife and I reached the same acceptance. We spent the last month or so thinking we were overthinking it all. Now we’ve realized that it may happen, and we’re resolved to stay and do what we can. The kids will go overseas with their grandparents. Between all of them they speak three languages, they’ll be fine. We accept that we’re likely to be killed but we have to do it for our kids. It’s a strange journey but now we can get on with regular life, knowing we have a plan. It took her a bit more time but we both got there eventually.

We’re also resolved to protest and push back. I’ve never really gone to a protest but this is existential.

If there’s someone in your life that is on the wrong side of this, and they are worth the effort, come to them carefully and listen. Don’t just attack them, as they will dig in their heels. Instead, make sure to ask them why THEY think you disagree with them, and why THEY think you believe what you do. Take the time to talk to them. Don’t get mired in policy. And think carefully about how you will answer the above questions when they turn it around on you.

If they are strangers and you don’t want to spend the effort, then don’t waste your time. Give them no benefit of the doubt, nor any assumption of good faith. They will surely not extend those to you. Ignore them. The sooner you realize they are unfortunately your enemy, the easier it will be.

Just look at one of the commenters on this very post. I truly hope he’s an American, for his sake, because if he’s a Canadian yearning for hostilities I can guarantee he and his ilk will be the first up against the wall. Metaphorically… of course.
