Fuck off you demented old fool.
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 like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.
Maybe you should tell our universities, corporations and the RCMP about this.
We’re having a bit of trouble with the protest one but I like your spirit!
Might be time for a EU expansion

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.
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
Am American, can confirm.
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.
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
Better than being American?
I went through my ancestry last week with the hope I’d have something to grant me citizenship elsewhere. My dad’s side went back 6 generations and I still didn’t find anyone outside the US. My mother’s was 5 generations before I hit Austria and Germany.
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.
Fucking A we do that, and why not? It’s interesting to learn peoples ancestry. It’d be strange we didn’t do that.
It’s not that people don’t have mixed ancestry in other countries, it’s that nobody mentions it or cares. Americans seem weirdly obsessed with it.
80-year-old angsty teen… how can anyone take this man child seriously?
We don’t want to be the 51st state. The idea repulses us, actually.
Elbows up, guys!
Unfortunately, too many Americans did, so now the rest of us have to
The dipshits that voted for him didn’t take him seriously either, they just wanted to fuck over the left, who they’ve been told is a enemy and threat for the last 25 years on Fox and AM radio. The other group that didn’t take him seriously were the ones who sat out or protest voted.
Elbows up!
how can anyone take this man child seriously?
Trumpy’s cultists will take him serious. Those cultists are going to be a problem.
ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA,
My company:
Has two shops 1 in Canada and 1 in the US; US shop now solely handles all American related jobs while Canada handles any job globally, besides the US.
Real smart play here ol trump
“Let’s kill all the jobs now for a few new kinds of jobs that probably won’t come to fruition” -Trump, American genius.
So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??
Wow
Russia’s objective isn’t tariffs – it’s to splinter/decouple international coordination and cooperation amongst western nations.
So, yeah. The faster Trump can accelerate that, the happier his boss’ll be.
Like the buy[local] type campaigns are most likely getting a bit of a bump from Russian propaganda agents – even if they are ‘real’ sentiments to some extent too.
Also, forgetting Russia for a moment, the ultra rich love this shit. They have enough real money to buy up all the smaller businesses. They love economic downturns like this, and it’s possible that Trump is simply a fanboy simp who is voluntarily taking Russian advice and example. It’s also important to say this because it means the stupid, zero-memory US citizens need to understand that it will continue even with Trump gone and even if Russia disappears.
He’s not doing this because of blackmail, he’s doing this because he wants to.
I think there’s a plan to entertain the US with some conflict while Russia does some shit so it can’t intervene later on. Their only true opposition as far as tech goes is the US army so it makes sense to disable it. I also have a feeling part of this is an attempt to normalize the invasion of other countries. And what better way to accomplish it all than to push the US out of NATO so the former Soviet countries are easy pickings for Russia.
It’s like watching the Kremlin call the shots at this point. What Trump is doing makes no sense without thinking What Would Putin Do?
I’d agree to some extent, but I honestly think it’s a bit more nuanced than a direct “He’s doing what Putin wants” situation – as it’s also what the various groups backing Trump in the states want (the folks who were all in on Project 2025). I find it easier to understand as a conflict between an “egalitarian” world view, and an “authoritarian” one. Putin, and Trump’s crowd, are clearly on the authoritarian side.
Someone recently pointed out to me that this view of it also aligns to the difference between the greek orthodox church and the roman catholics. In the latter, the translation of the bible into different languages meant individuals were encouraged to read the bible, and determine (in part on their own) how best to avoid hell; in the orthodox approach, it was entirely up to the priests to inform the masses what they had to do to avoid hell, as only the priests could read latin. Russia’s still very much of the orthodox approach – and in the US, many of those mega pastor sorts have pushed in this direction as well. So their interests line up.
That authoritarian mindset also lines up with big tech, and the whole Yarvin nonsense. It lines up with the blanket firing approach and terrorization of the federal work force, to make them more subserviant/compliant. And it generally lines up with the Russian view that the world should be cut up into like 4 blocks, with a ‘strong man’ leading each block. That division that was pushed forward by Dugin, generally “gives” north America to the US.
What’s that flushing sound I hear? Oh, it’s just the US economy.
He’ll raise taxes on Americans again too, if Canada doesnt shape up!
He just really likes raising taxes.
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
What Trump can or can’t do is absolutely meaningless to him. He doesn’t care. Chaos is the point.
Legally, no. But why should he follow the rules when he’s gotten off for every other crime he’s committed?
He’ll pull out of NATO 5 minutes before his troops cross the border
Yes, but actually maybe
Then it’ll be FLQ 2 electric boogaloo
Yeah well, if he thinks he’ll win long term against Québec, he’s not ready for reality 😂
He’s just like Putin, he won’t do shit.

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 territory that has zero say in gov’t but who are taxed like they do).

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.
Im pretty sure Putin did shit.

Ronald McDonald has been trying every damn day.
He’s gonna fucking invade, isn’t he?
The USA needs congressional approval to officially go to war against another sovereign nation. Like with Afghanistan or Iraq. BUT Republicans control the house and Senate, and sure if they’re that fucking delusional they could vote for it. But with that being said, it would 100% rip America apart and they fucking deserve it. Not only would we not put up with that shit and I would gladly shoot any foreign soldier on our land, it would mean the Russians getting exactly what they wanted.
Americans reading this, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER or you or your friends are going to start fucking dying on our fucking land for no other reason than a fat orange fucks vanity. You will be ostracized by the developed world and I for one will never fucking forgive you.
They voted for this. So I don’t have any sympathy for them saying Trump doesn’t represent them. He does. They go on and on about how they’re the greatest country in the world, and how their government is ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’. They’re more responsible for the actions of their government than any other nation is for theirs.
And the American mentality is that their pride will never let them admit if they’re wrong. So even though they may know that talks of annexation and taking away our country are beyond offensive, they can’t say it. They have to say that it’s for some greater good that no one else can see, even if they know it’s BS. But the problem is, short of NATO putting troops in our country to help fight off an invasion, I don’t know what would stop the US from just trying to take whatever they want in the name of ‘freedom’. And the funny thing is, on the Cato Human Freedom Index, which measures a person’s person, economic and civil freedom, we rank higher than the US. We’re #11, and the US, the leader of the free world, is #17. So how are they the ‘freest nation’ in the world? Why would we downgrade ourselves by joining them? We wouldn’t. No one would. Unless it was by force.
I’ve said this before, and I meant it then; the mentality of the US is that they’re basically a r***** telling their victim that if they lay down and let them (USA) have their way with them, they won’t get hurt. THAT’s the US right now. They’re our neighbours, but they’re NOT our friends. And they probably never were. They just finished hurting other nations, and decided to turn their attention to us.
Yup. But there is zero fucking chance we would let them take this place willy nilly. I will die before I yield any land to these facist thugs. As our countrymen and women fought before us, we will remain the true north strong and free, or we will DIE to defend it. The dreams of this great country of ours will never die
Absolutely. I honestly think one of their reasons for talking about annexation, and why our country, isn’t ‘viable’, is because they know our country is better than theirs. But rather than try to course correct aspects of their own nation that they know are messed up, they’d rather tear down ours. It’s pride and their inferiority complex.
They keep going on about how they’re the ‘greatest country in the world’, but they have things happen in their country that don’t happen in Canada, like mass shootings, school shootings, class inequality, poor or non-existent social safety nets, and a culture of needing someone to hate, or ‘other’. The US says that those bad things that happen in their country are unfortunate, but unavoidable in the ‘freest country in the world’, yet, right next to them, on their northern border, is our country. Canada. A country that ranks higher than theirs on the Cato Human Freedom Index.
A country that doesn’t have school and mass shootings anywhere near the scale they do. Do we have inequality? Yes, but not to the same extent they do. We have more social programs that, while not perfect, do work to try and protect the more vulnerable. And our health care is seen as a right, rather than a for profit business model.
Our very presence next to them is a contradiction to their argument that
-
they’re they best in the world, (they’re not) and
-
that whatever horrible things that do go on in their country, would happen in any other western nation. (they don’t).
They have to try and undercut and undermine us. It’s the only way they can convince their own people that they’re still the best; by kicking down and trying to tear down any country that isn’t as messed up as theirs.
-
As an American who has avoided joining the American military because I’ve been afraid of dying in a war, I’m almost leaning into wanting to join the Canadian military at this point. As I’m much less afraid of dying now that I’m nigh suicidal and Canadian sovereignty sounds like a viable cause to actually fight for.
Previous presidents have famously committed acts of war without the consent of congress. Including assassinations and drone strikes on civilians.
Oh 100%. But for a full fledged WAR? It takes a lot of congressional and public will power to do that. Just saying that for them to go ahead and declare war so easily with zero public insight, would cause them to rip themselves apart
The US has not “declared war” in decades. That’s early 20th century talk.
Remember kids, we’re one of the reasons the Geneva Conventions exist. A surrendering soldier is a dead one.
It’s never a war crime the first time
The National Post is a US billionaire owned right wing propaganda rag that most Canadians wouldn’t wipe their ass with. If they’re saying this it’s a warning that should be heeded.
We are a large, rugged country with huge areas to hide in full of large rugged people with guns.
We are a large, rugged country with huge areas to hide in full of large rugged people with guns.
Okay, but, so? We’re still occupied. People still died. Survivors are still traumatized. If it gets to the point where we’re living in caves on the escarpment and doing guerilla raids on Hamilton, WE HAVE ALREADY FUCKING LOST EVERYTHING OF IMPORTANCE. Get guns, fine, but I’ll be filling out my application for refugee status.
Some people hide under the skirts of old women. Others fight. I won’t fight for oil or profits but I will fight to defend the best country in the world.
A l9t of people will. And a significant minority will not. Those people will make Afghanistan and Iraq look like a cakewalk, with the notable additions of a bunch of insurgents who can blend into their territory and share a huge border with them. The guerilla warfare won’t be limited to Hamilton, it will spread across America.
It’s difficult to invade when in a recession and you have to deploy military against your own citizens to protect Tesla buildings.
He clearly wants Canada, but it’s not clear he wants it that bad. If he thinks more expensive electricity is a nasty move he’s probably not too hot about stuff and people blowing up.
I suspect the next few months will be a lot like the past one for Canada. Not better or worse.
I don’t see how he could. Too many people in the U.S. like Canada, the domestic support would be near nill.
Maybe if he had 6-10 more years to drum up support.
A lot of people in the US will say they don’t support it, and will speak out against it, but when the forces deploy, the American people won’t do anything to stop it. They won’t stage walkouts, or take actions that will cripple their economy at home in protest, because it will cause them inconvenience and pain.
They’ll just say they’re against it, that they’re morally outraged, and will offer ‘thoughts and prayers’. Nothing more.
Some of them will enlist.
The problem is this harmful and terrifying idea of annexing Canada will remain even after trump is gone. Vance is a young dude, him or whoever is the successor will advance Trunps policies and priorities, after the next president even. Canada needs to shift away from the US long term.

Canada is doing some stuff as well. here is the official govt release about the move.
I’m no economist but here’s the best explanations
I read so far about what Canada is doing with this move (post-Carney’s arrival I might add).
No, he’s not. Even if he could get congressional approval, which is highly unlikely, the military would have to comply with the order. The likelihood of that happening, I can’t even fathom.
He’s just a fat ass blow hard making noise.
Is it bad that I want him to try?
Historically, the US has never acquired territory by force, and even then Emperor Clementine would need a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate to ratify and prove the annexation was legal, which I doubt he’ll get.
F*ck around and find out, as it were.
Historically, the US has never acquired territory by force
Fucking What
Was your historian a rabid white supremacist who pretends none of the Indian Wars happened, much less the Mexican or Spanish-American Wars?
- since world war 2
No, you’re absolutely correct! I meant it more along the lines of the “We take nothing by conquest” rhetoric, which is equally hypocritical considering the reality. I didn’t really want to add an “/s” to the statement… Yes, the US killed a lot of people in Mexican territory, but then they made up a treaty and paid $15mil for half of the land 🤷 (heavily simplified).
But it’s 2025, and I’m honestly not sure if the geopolitical climate is in a better or worse state than it was 170 years ago. And if not worse on average, it’s definitely widely polarized.
Yes, it’s bad. We’d lose. Maybe they’d lose too, but if so it’s going to involve Taliban-like timelines and Afghanistan-like living conditions that whole time.
Yeah, as much as I’d like to pretend it will also prompt the Second American Civil War and swathes of military officers refusing orders I simply don’t have faith in Americans to do the right thing.
It’s famously a lot easier to “just follow orders”, and they only need a fraction of their forces to agree to make it happen. I highly doubt they’d fight each other on our behalf, at least.
What about all the native land, and the Mexican-American war?
Well you’re not wrong, I think some dummies would say “acktually we bought it from Mexico”.
I liked this article from a couple months ago on the whole situation: https://www.dal.ca/news/2025/01/09/united-states-canada-state-51st.html
I also want him to try, mostly because I think that may finally be the straw that gets someone to successfully snipe him. All it will take is some pissed off hosier with better aim than the last guy.
Hosier is from Ireland. Hoosers are from Indiana. Hosers are from Canada.
Ya I want him to try as well. I am so fucking sick of republicans and magats dragging down the entire human race. Can you imagine what the world would be like if bush didn’t steal the election from al gore? No war in the middle east, probably would have resulted is way better relations between countries all around the world. Would have resulted in more prosperity for everyone. Would have been a massive coordinated effort to fight climate change. They’d probably have healthcare by now. To this day republicans have been hell bent on destroying the world. I hope they come to Canada. Wiping them out would be the highest possible purpose my life could ever serve. Even if I could only take out one of those magat freaks with me, it would be worth it. Lets fucking go, ill be ready.
With the statements yesterday about the “artificially drawn border” it’s clear he wants southern Ontario.
Tough shit. He can’t have it. The sun will expand and engulf the inner planets before I become an American.
Even if he fails, our quality of life would significantly decrease. Not really wanting to become an insurgent and get my brains blown out by a delta force operator or something. Not saying we should back down in any case, but the prospect of an invasion like that is scary af.
Yes, because innocent people will die.
I dunno, is it bad that you’ve brainwashed yourself and are now actively radicalizing yourself? It’s a judgement call.
Fuck you Trump
The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.
We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.
Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that’s on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It’s there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy… You know, so our dairy farmers don’t go broke.
Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit… Carry the one… Yeah, exactly zero times.

Sincerely,

I’m in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me
That’s fair. There’s still sensible people in the USA.
I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn’t and shouldn’t imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.
I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That’s an insult to you and I am sorry.
Have a good day neighbor.
Nah we’re good. I totally get the intent and point. And I’m one of the ones hit by the electricity thing. Sucks, but y’all have to fight back.
Sorry about that. I’m not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally)… It’s not great, and I’m sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.
You don’t want this, I can assure you, we don’t want this, but it’s what is happening.
I don’t even think the people who voted for Trump had annexing Canada on their minds when filling out their ballots. Was it mentioned once during the campaign? I wasn’t listening, I knew I wasn’t gonna vote for him 9 years ago.
I mean, until last month when cross-border relations got kicked in the teeth by the diaper in chief, what did I need the State of Canada for? I had the Nation of Canada right there. It’s not like we weren’t hugely cooperative trade partners or anything.
To be clear, the people who want this are the American capitalists who stand to profit off of Canada’s natural resources. If we were a US state it would be much easier, almost downright trivial, to move up here and take whatever they want.
Obviously, Canada, and Canadians, don’t want that, and it would seem most of the US population doesn’t either.
IMO, this seems like a move by the people who are puppeteering Trump around. They see an opportunity to exploit what is currently a sovereign nation, and they’re going for using Trump as little more than a mouthpiece for their goals.
I guess he’s also admitting to his desire of never having any new elections? As Canada would get like over 50 seats in the electoral college…
Canada would never be state. A territory of unending insurgency at best, until the US killed every last one of us.
I literally thought it was another one of his stupid speaking mistakes, like when he suggested bleach/UV inside the body (he was just repeating some stuff he didn’t understand badly, and iirc he didn’t keep harping on it). Kinda surprised to see he was serious about it, it makes no sense to me either.
From a trade/foreign policy perspective, no, it makes no sense. From a long term growth of the USA perspective, it makes a lot of sense. As the Earth heats up, the equator will become less habitable, and the poles will become more habitable. Canada and Greenland have a low population density because of their northern climate, they have resources that are un-extracted because it is not economical to pay someone to live on-site. Every year it gets warmer, and that land becomes more valuable.
For the record, I’m not against Canada becoming a new State, but I am against using military or economic strong-arming to sway that decision.
Trump became President and I decided to start the process to get guns.
Conservative Americans in shambles reading this as they find out that we do Infact own guns in Canada and are proud to own them. We just don’t get all fucking pussy about not being able to own fully automatic ones with 50 round magazines lol.
Liberal American here, for a long time conservatives here have miscalculated how well armed many of us are. The anti-gun crowd (not to be confused with gun control) are just the vocal minority on the issue, giving the impression that liberals hate guns. My gun safe begs to differ, and I own more guns than any conservative I know.
Have you considered that you might be a leftist and not a liberal?
Don’t forget to practice regularly.
Say it louder; get disqualified from gun ownership. You’re not allowed to own guns because you think one day you might shoot people with them.
I GOT A GUN TO SO I CAN HUNT ANIMALS BECAUSE LEARNING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE AND SHARING FOOD IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
Surely you could grow more food than you can hunt.
Home and/or personal defense are perfectly valid reasons for gun ownership. I don’t want to use my gun on a person but I absolutely purchased it because I think I may have to someday.
Saw this years ago and honestly couldn’t be more fitting today.I’ll cherish Trump when he’s 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.
Hopefully this afternoon.
