Happy new year 2025…

US deficits/debt are too high to be sustainable. Low taxes come with high health insurance costs. The threat of Russia/China has always been complete BS, but they are not “surrounding us constantly”

The best reply to this asshole would be to openly talk of US states joining Canada as a province. Or to have a constitutional convention with 50 states to decide which 2 countries to form.

We can also offer to trade with China/Russia/others more to lower any trade surpluses we have with US.

I wouldn’t trade with Russia since they are involved in the invasion of the Ukraine. And China would simply flood our market with their stuff and ruin us.

Believing Russia instigated war is a lie that make Canadians worse than a 51st state. We are a NATO colony. Canadian media discussion of responses to this is that “we need to desperately buy more (3% of gdp) broken F35s to defend the Arctic, and be the front line on war on China” and futher acts of pure sycophancy.

Canadians trusting our CIA allegiant colonial figurehead politicians and media is core to our subservience. Defense pacts with other nuclear powers is best way to have US focus on US-Canada mutual prosperity instead of their destruction and collapse. 51st state, even with the minimal democratic representation that exists in a corrupt US, while less subservient than our current role, also condemns Canada to a worse collapse than US’s destiny. We need to be a brake on US empire instead of the willing sacrifice to the last Canadian that the CIA wants us to accept.

So far I’ve been flagging this guy and others as Tankies so I can quickly ignore them. My reasoning originally was that maybe they’d have something useful to say in other topics so it was better than blocking and not seeing anything at all. At least I would know they’re here and not get out of touch.

I’m really questioning this stance now though. They never have anything good to say and are so obviously propagandists. What are you guys doing?

I hope you realize that by posting this ignoramus’ nonsense you are actively a part of the problem.

If you don’t, this is me telling you to stop being an active part of the problem by posting this ignoramus’ nonsense.

Because, believe it or not, we can’t just toss these statements like they don’t matter. The leader of a world superpower, both military and economically, is threatening our sovereignty.

No he isn’t. He is directing our political choices as he does, with statements that enrage and divide.

Edit: and it’s obviously working.

the world in 2025 is multitudes more dangerous and volatile than the world the last time he was here. thats the issue.

We’ve seen an outbreak of inter-state war unlike anything since the 40s and 50s. With Russia and Ukraine And the rest of Europe, its the biggest state vs state conflict since Iran-Iraq in the 80s. and there are conflicts flaring up all over the world. Israel is going on a spree of settling every grudge they ever had, Syria as fallen, China is making final preparations for Taiwan, Azerbaijan looks like its going to invade Armenia, War is the hot topic of the 2020s.

Trump is an isolationist, if the world is going down in flames, he thinks it’s not unreasonable to suggest consolidating control over North America, just cuz.

And we know exactly what he is about. They’re just fueling the facist fire. There is a point where it becomes just more propoganda and that has happened long ago. This article has come up in CBC at least 3 times in the past several weeks.

If I was a CBC editor, I would tone it down, yes. If that’s what you meant, then I agree that we don’t have to platform every little media bait he tweets. But here’s Lemmy, there’s no editorial.

Trudeau resigned from the most powerful position in the country solely to not have to deal with that orange buffoon’s BS one second more than he has to.

That could have played a big part in his decision. But he’s also very unpopular across Canada. He’s hoping they might choose a new face that the people will love, but I doubt it would solve anything at this point.

Bullshit. I firmly believe that no one in Trudeau’s organization cares one whit about that troll, nor would feed it if given a chance.

Trudeau bailed because of internal trolling from the same ‘mean girl’ opposition which has focused more on his appearance than anything else this entire time, which has been building the misinformation campaign that WILL influence voting.

Essentially, he bailed so the scumbag cons had less to distract us from the issues, like the horribly American platform the cons are offering, as usual. Only by focusing the message on that can we convince the facebook-addicted hillbillies to actually vote IN their own best interests instead of electing conservatives.

There is still the bloc. Érable-flavoured national socialism is infinitely more tolerable than submitting to american imperialism.

Who cares anymore? Federal government destroyed any idea of patriotism west of Ontario and east of the lower mainland a long time ago. Pursuing “post national state” wankery has consequences.
