I'm honestly just glad it's not Mexico for once. We really, really don't need to be messed with right now. It's not that we wouldn't be able to handle it, but we're doing great for the first time in my life and I don't want to see that spoiled.
But whatever the outcome, it's a reminder that we need to stand together.
We have known for some time.
We need to take this seriously and be ready if they try to come for us
Trudeau's comments aren't exactly Earth-shattering revelations. By now, everybody with half a working brain should have learned that when Trump says something, you should believe him. Unlike the magats', Trudeau's brain is in working order.
when Trump ~~says something~~ states his intentions, you should believe him. When he states a matter of fact you should definitely not believe him.
FTFY
when Trump says something, you should believe him.
No. When Trump says something, you should believe that he might be delusional enough to believe it.
Trump is official the president... Don't be stupid. Federal government will do what he says by the time he is stopped, we will be balls deep in shit.
Never under estimate your opponent, thats how we got here.
What federal government? He keeps firing everyone.
He's crippling it so they can't stop him when he decides to take illegal action.
He'll still have a huge military run by loyal fascists.
No. When Trump says something, about anything at all, whether it's the truth, or a lie, a group of somebody's somewhere, completely unrelated by tied inexorably to the fallout from it, is about to die.
People are more stupid than you think. I brought up this exact topic on another platform (that the USA wants Canada for its resources include fresh water), and many US responders laughed like it was the stupidest thing I could have concocted. I explained that I didn't come up with it it has been an ongoing thing since the 60s where US wanted a trench from Canada to the USA as a water feed, etc. People already believed their own conclusion and citing sources didn't change their mind on Trumps ulterior motive.
It has been a concern for a long time that as drought bites in the USA and the Arctic becomes a strategic waterway, the USA will want what Canada has in its lakes, its coasts, its farmable land and its other natural resources. It's just that Trump is accelerating the process, trying to get it done before Canada has a chance to prepare any resistance, and before many Canadians twig what's going on. I'm quite sure he's serious, and quite sure he isn't the only one.
Meanwhile Canadians are about to elect the most incompetent PM ever, whose only goal is to look tough and bigoted while screwing the little people, like Trump.
The comments in question from CBC:
Hmm your link doesn't work for me.
My bad, edited, try again. I screwed up changing it from YT shorts to a normal video.
But everything's so much more expensive in the EU, like ~~Healthcare~~ ~~Food~~ ~~Telecommunications~~ ~~Transportation~~ ~~Insurance~~ Taxes that include the wealthy
Trudeau should start a campaign to run for president of the USA in 2028.
Better start hitting the gym. Get in shape in case we get drafted to defend Canada.
I'm an old man now. I have skills though. Been dusting off the trauma kit and reading up. Never hurts to be prepared even if things don't go south so to speak.
I'm an old woman and seriously considering spending my tax rebate on getting my gun licence. A trauma kit is getting added to the list now too.
Drones. If you can afford one buy a drone. Learn how to use it. Skip the gun licencing. If it does happen there will be guns.
Tbh I wouldn't even know where to start with a drone. Do I get one for monitoring or carrying a p load?
I have no idea either...like I said I'm old. However drones are the most effective guerilla warfare tactic to come around in decades. Proven repeatedly. Being old limits your physical ability like mine, but a drone levels our playing field. Perhaps a more well informed Lemming could help you out.
Thank you. :)
I wouldn't want any of our American friends or our Canadian soldiers to be killed because of that fat fuck.
If anything, effort needs to be made to remove him before this escalates even further. Our true allies will understand, because a war between Canada and the United States would end up as a World War, and nobody wants that.
It would not end as a world war. It would probably pull in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and maybe some other countries, because we are part of the commonwealth.
And even then I wouldn't hold my breath.
Counteroffer: would Canada like Michigan as the 11th province?
No i think the article here is that this is really a legitimate threat. And the US having veto power in Nato is a big fucking deal because that means we can't rely on our Nato allies to do anything.
They're really serious about taking us over.
