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.

I was going to say Trudeau should call him “vice president trump” to point out how subservient he is to musk but… I guess that is why there is the “governor” rhetoric. Like always, it is fascists projecting. trump might only be a VP in his own admin but that is still better than a governor and all that stupidity.

Trump is Putin’s apprentice, invested-in for decades, as The Kremlin Papers identified.

Currently Trump is beta to both Putin & Musk, … however … brains change, sometimes gradually, & sometimes suddenly.

I’m betting that Trump will break-through-a-barrier in his brain’s function, converting him to his needed psychopathy, this-year, if not this-late-winter-or-spring.

I’m not certain that Musk will like being truly-beta to Trump, when that happens, though…

it’s us who would be more-jeapordized, however, by that personality-punctuation…

( there are actual fMRI image-sequences of multiple-personality-disorder patients switching-between-personalities, showing the change-in-brain-energization, now in our scientific record. )

Presuming that “status quo” isn’t going to be disrupted is exactly the sort of belief that knifed the Dems in the US, in their back.

Presuming that the current-personality-of-Trump is going to remain unchanged, given the ferrocious forces acting on that poor brain, seems to me, a brain-injury survivor, who has massively altered the function of this brain…

( I spent literally years much-of-the-time catatonic, in the late 1980’s & very-early 1990’s )…

to be incompetent: normal-people just don’t understand how-greatly a brain can change, in short duration, or long…

Even if it was caused by an aneurism/stroke, would his cult permit him to be removed-from-power??

Not a chance, so long as he remained alive.

So, if he loses his mirror-neuron-system, becoming incapable of any empathy, whatsoever, in such a brain-change,

…would that change the rules of ( the nature of ) “who” is governing the US?

Certainly.

But what it wouldn’t do, is get the then-psychopath removed from power.


THAT is the threat we’re currently under, even-though nobody else on this world considers this to be a real-threat…

So, I place my imaginary-dime ( the only thing I bet, ever: no material-gain/loss, ever, & only imagine the physically-tiniest-coin: keep it from being the gambling that people get their lives sucked-into ) on it happening, & all the world places their bet on it not-happening.

( this also identifies that it is the role which ought be protected, & if a person’s personality changes enough, or if they get caught being corrupt, then they HAVE TO be removed from the role, but NONE of the political-party rigged governments hold to this standard!

Because they aren’t in it for the benefits of our countries: they only want their-own rule! )

I was absolutely-right about him openly becoming a Putin-ally, about there being “the Caucasian Serpent” ( 1 of the 3 empires prophecied in the Christian’s bible, in the end-times ), & I’m betting that I’m right on this point, too.

Hopefully I’m wrong!

Wouldn’t the world be better if I always was?

Certainly establishment’s-beliefs would be more comfortable…

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.

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.

… It’s not like there’s transit fees. We’ll see if Trump thinks of that, but it’s also something that can generally be dealt with at the time.

I get what you’re saying, but exports to the US are close to 20% of Canada’s GDP, so it’d be more like chopping off an arm or two.

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.

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…

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.

You gain nothing from bowing down to or fearing fascists. They should be openly mocked for the weak, cowardly fuckstains they are.

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. )

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.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
