Trump calls the US-Canada border an “artificially drawn line”, in what seems like one of the most dumbfounding statements the “build the wall” president could possibly utter.
But which probably isn’t, because it’s Trump.
Canada’s mistake is responding to trump.
They should respond to America.
It’s generally the media’s mistake in their reporting.
If trump says something, treat that as America saying something.
Stop giving Americans/America leeway on this as if trump is some passing fad. That works the first time.
But after 2016 election, then 2020, and re-electing trump… That’s America speaking.
Trump wants Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland and Gulf of Mexico?
No. America wants Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland and Gulf of Mexico.
The general public is used to trump headlines being a joke. They’ve had 4 years of buffoonery & disappointment, and 4 years of court buffoonery & disappointing headlines. The next 4 years of trump explicitly stating what America is going to do is going according to the last 8 years of republican R&D is going to be dismissed before its too late.
Saying “America states…” and “America intends to…” might wake some Americans up to what is actually happening
Canada needs to ramp up its trade with other countries and become less dependent on the USA.
That’s exactly what’s going to happen and in fact countries are already distancing themselves.
The current Lib government in Canada made some attempts, but the incoming Con government is going to double down on trade with the US when they get in. Poilivre is a wannabee strongman who wants abortion gone up here, and he’ll just do whatever the US says, much as Harper did.
in my heart I know the intent of the morons speaking about it serious, while the feasability of it actually being attempted, is not.
(Drop the world into chaos with a few nuclear blasts and escalation of state wars, that might change and the Americans will probably try it)
that being said, Canadians are open to using violence to protect their sovereingty. We’ve been killing fascists and imperialists since 1914, we are quite good at it. We thought we were going to be killing Russian fascists next, but have no qualms about doing it to American Fascists if forced to.
The problem is Canada can’t protect it’s soverentiy. I mean I know we would have no chance against America. But our military is a joke and it should be dismantled and built up from the ground. I mean procurement is a joke troop housing is a joke and recruitment is a joke. Calling people years after applying.
Much like with Russia and Putin, the fascist extremism in america isn’t going to die with one man.
The most surprising thing in this whole saga is that Gretzky is apparently fine with Canada being a US state? Like what?
Run along and get McDonald’s to change your diapers you fat and pathetic orange fuck.
