Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.
Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.
Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.
Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.
Is this supposed to be our response to Trump’s threats? Can’t say it instills much confidence, or any actually.
I want to understand your point. What are you being critical of with your comment? It’s not clear.
Honestly probably not a good idea. Trump is petty and vindictive.
You gain nothing from bowing down to or fearing fascists. They should be openly mocked for the weak, cowardly fuckstains they are.
Simply not saying anything isn’t bowing down. Trump is one bad night’s sleep from literally invading Canada.
Further, wounded-narcissism is the primary-motivation behind being a mass-shooter.
Increasing the wounded-narcissism is petty.
It “solves” the wrong problem.
Trudeau proved that he didn’t understand tactics when the counter-tarrifs he put against the US in the last Trump-trade-war were damaging Democrat regions, instead of only tarriffing Republican regions.
I see no reason he would have set-up correct strike-against-the-aggressor tarrifs, this-time.
So, instead he increases Trump’s likelihood of getting more-violent against Canada??
Immaturity cannot be permitted to rule our countries, XOR we are accommodating our rulers to railroad our viability, itself.
( this also indicates that we require a culture of enforcing-all-our-growing-up, instead of the petty MSM culture we’ve allowed to mesmerize all our world, & we need it now. )

He already hates Trudeau and is taking it out on Canada. There’s not a whole lot more he’s going to be able to do without pissing off all his non-russian masters.
Nah Trump hates Canada and Trudeau. He really does want to annex it, the only question is peacefully or not.
The answer is “Not”.
Cowering from bullies doesn’t make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you’re an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.
You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can’t come for you without having to pay for it.
It’s plays excellently for the domestic audience, and making Trump stop being mean was never an option.
So far, I haven’t heard any response at all from Trump.
Trudeau is retiring, it doesn’t matter. And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won’t happen? Seriously?
And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won’t happen?
Knowing Trump, yeah, probably.
He has so much hate-filled energy, I think he needs all the pushback the world and his own constituents can give him. Keep him busy.
If he really wanted to show trump he’d have allied with Mexico to prioritize both their sea trade routes and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
Instead he tried to appease fascists, which never fucking works.
As Snotty Nose Rez Kids love to say:
Fuck Justin Trudeau
That’s not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it’s definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.
My bad, I forgot “moderates” the world over pretend there’s no way to plan ahead and when something happens there’s no time to react properly…
It’s all bullshit, I just forgot a moderate will show up to repeat the same lie.
At least it takes longer on lemmy than other social media.
You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn’t happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.
Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol
and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?
I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.
Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?
Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
Yes, planning-ahead IS that-foreign a concept these days, actually…
Proof?
Brexit.
Millei’s eradication of federally-coordinated education, as a means of somehow “improving” the Argentinian economy, also.
Ideology “doesn’t need” to think: it “just inherently knows”, see?
maybe you’ve been living on some other planet for the last decade-or-so?
: p
Narcissism’s dictatorships never care about reality, because their ideologies/prejudices/“religions” somehow “outrank” actual-reality, youk know?
Exactly the same as how “believers” hold that G-D obeys their belief, instead-of holding-believers-to-some-Universal-standard…

You want him to upend massive logistics chains for… no real reason. Just so you can say fuck Trudeau.
Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It’s chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.
Ok but they barely won. Like calm your titties that goalkeeper saved like 10 goals in insane ways
