So "Nothing Canada can do to prevent tariffs" is the same as saying "I'm doing this for absolutely no reason".

cruelty is the point
No shit he wants to anex canada. He's a fucking fascist and musk is taking over the government. Jfc i hate this.
As a Canadian I fail to see how this will ever make me want to join the US.
Canada will outlive Trump.
Let's join the EU
Technically there is a land border betweenen the EU and Canada, so makes sense.
Can we sell ourselves to Denmark and join Greenland?
Speaking as a random Dane, I'm into it and willing to pay up to $20 for Canada as a (very) early Christmas present for Greenland.
Look at Mr. Moneybags here!
I'm ready for Danelaw 2.0!
You are probably going to fare better by annexing New York.
Or, maybe you can do both.
I will never join the US
What do you have against incompetent brutally cruel fascist oligarchies?
You said it!
Can you take the coastal states? Particularly the west coast? We're tired of being part of America.
As a Canadian, 100% would embrace the west coast and New England.
We can call it Americanada and it would be awesome.
As a Canadian I can't see how annexing Canada will make America better? Also, lotssa luck with the guerilla warfare when your opposition is the same colour and speaks the same language.
"You're not making ~~Christianity~~ America better. You're just making ~~Rock & Roll~~ Canada worse."
They'll use all sort of dirty tricks just like the Gestapo did, like making you say the letter "Z", or making you spell the word "colour".
It's the worst timeline alright.
Does he not realize if Canada becomes a state a republican could never hold the presidency again? Right wing canadians are further left than american Democrats.
Literally we have Trump supporters here and constantly vote for obviously corrupt people. Alberta and Ontario being clear, loud examples.
So, no, I’m glad it makes you feel good and all but that is a profoundly stupid thing to say and I don’t want to get dragged into your not-seeing-the-obvious thank you very much.
I realized shortly after posting that comment there would be a low chance that canada would be a state. It'd probably be more like Puerto Rico, pay taxes, but not vote for anything that matters outside of the territory.
I was aware of the maga nuts in Canada, I didn't realize they had enough votes to actually matter though. Plus y'all burned down the white house once, I'm sure even the craziest canadian would be made about losing their sovereignty. Surely?
You underestimate how stupid conservatives are, then. We’re about to vote in a Conservative government because our mediocre centrist has fallen apart and despite having a very valid third option with a left-but-not-radically-so party we refuse to acknowledge that. That white house thing happened two-hundred years ago, the last Conservative PM we had, Stephen Harper, did nothing but raise the deficit and be a little bitch and yet our moronic, brain-dead conservatives keep acting like he was some big strong tough boy. Conservatives in Alberta just recently decided that CO2 isn’t a pollutant because it made them feel better.
We are stupid up here, like the U.S.-lite, and our individuality is in tatters. We’re still better off that that shithole by a long way but the bar is also in hell, so.
They still love voting against their best interests though, so maybe they would join in. Also who's to say canada would get to vote.
MAGA: We'll tax ourselves when we buy Canadian goods until Canada begs for mercy!
I know of ONE thing that could be done..
Well, not in Canada. Or at least not to prevent the tariffs.
You know the old saying: dead billionaires impose no tariffs 🤷
Killing Canadian billionaires won't make the tariffs go away.
It may or may not bring a lot of interesting results. But if you want to change the tariffs, you can't do it in Canada.

I wasn't referring to Canadian billionaires. I'd be more specific but I'm probably already dancing in banhammer area..
if you want to change the tariffs, you can't do it in Canada.
Unless a certain American billionaire comes to visit..
I already bought 5,000 gallons of maple syrup to get me through the year
That's 91 years worth of food assuming 2000 calories a day.
assuming 2000 calories a day.
That's the recommended intake for an adult woman of average weight and activity level. Burly lumberjacks from Québec named Gordon need MUCH more than that.
In reality, Gordon is a barista, though.
In Kanata. But he does go to Hull for authentic poutine once in a while.
Much love, person who knows Ottawa-Gatineau place names.
Sorry, So, you’re not Canadian, then eh?
Ok. How much would it cost per day?
I'm on my last litre, but it's not too long before sugar season starts up again.
Obviously, fentanyl is an excuse.
They're closing the borders because of their trade deficits. They think it will stimulate production within the US.
Finally, lower egg prices!
Well yeah, the goal is to crash the american economy for Russia and christo facist control. Tech billionaires will battle it out with the christos for ultimate control.
If you are a non-Trump voter in a red state, especially if you work for the flagship company or industry in that state, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for what our government is about to do. We don't want to do it but it is the only way to deal with a bully.
