The only thing that makes sense is for Trump and Musk to take a rocket car to Mars.

I recently met two Albertans out here in South Korea at a bar. They were on the other side of the bar from me, and when they walked past, I greeted them as an Ontarian and offered to shake their hands. They both declined the handshake and proudly announced, "We're not on the same team."

That was a few weeks ago. I'm still disturbed by it. I knew Albertans had a reputation because of the politicking there. But I hadn't realized it would be so blatant. That same night, two South Africans happily asked me my thoughts on Trump, and I was perhaps too honest in my first statement, and they grew upset with me and insisted he was good for Canadians and South Africans, both.

I left the bar not long after. Haven't seen those four come back, so there is a bright side to the story, at least.

Lol they should fucking stay in South Korea. They are definately in the minority, it's a larger minority then most of Canadas opinion but goddamn they are still a minority. Should have told them to never fucking come back

Trump became President and I decided to start the process to get guns.

[–] jerkface -4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

Say it louder; get disqualified from gun ownership. You're not allowed to own guns because you think one day you might shoot people with them.

He's gonna fucking invade, isn't he?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

No, he’s not. Even if he could get congressional approval, which is highly unlikely, the military would have to comply with the order. The likelihood of that happening, I can’t even fathom.

He’s just a fat ass blow hard making noise.

The National Post is a US billionaire owned right wing propaganda rag that most Canadians wouldn't wipe their ass with. If they're saying this it's a warning that should be heeded.

We are a large, rugged country with huge areas to hide in full of large rugged people with guns.

Okay, but, so? We're still occupied. People still died. Survivors are still traumatized. If it gets to the point where we're living in caves on the escarpment and doing guerilla raids on Hamilton, WE HAVE ALREADY FUCKING LOST EVERYTHING OF IMPORTANCE. Get guns, fine, but I'll be filling out my application for refugee status.

He clearly wants Canada, but it's not clear he wants it that bad. If he thinks more expensive electricity is a nasty move he's probably not too hot about stuff and people blowing up.

I suspect the next few months will be a lot like the past one for Canada. Not better or worse.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like. All the signs are there and steps have been taken in preparation. The forcing of Canadians to register and get finger printed in the next 30 days was the icing on the cake. Now we wait and see how this unfolds.

[–] CircaV 2 points 7 hours ago

Canada is doing some stuff as well. here is the official govt release about the move.

I’m no economist but here’s the best explanations

I read so far about what Canada is doing with this move (post-Carney’s arrival I might add).

Honestly, Canada should shut down their border to the US period… I wish this could happen, but I feel it is unrealistic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago

And get all our fucking data off Azure and AWS servers already. The fact we did this in the first place has bothered me since day 1. I don't care if the data centres are in Canada, they're owned by a foreign company and "trust me bro" isn't a security policy.

We like our women with bodily autonomy and with the right to choose.

We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.

We like our heads of state to be respectful and respected on the world stage.

We like our right to privacy without surveillance, and our civil servants free from Krasnov’s oligarchs.

Most importantly, we like our beer to be unshittified!

Sincerely,

The Canadians who haven't already fallen victim to your propaganda.

-We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.

Maybe you should tell our universities, corporations and the RCMP about this.

So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??

Wow

[–] MacroCyclo 5 points 12 hours ago

He just really likes raising taxes.

Russia's objective isn't tariffs -- it's to splinter/decouple international coordination and cooperation amongst western nations.

So, yeah. The faster Trump can accelerate that, the happier his boss'll be.

Like the buy[local] type campaigns are most likely getting a bit of a bump from Russian propaganda agents -- even if they are 'real' sentiments to some extent too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Also, forgetting Russia for a moment, the ultra rich love this shit. They have enough real money to buy up all the smaller businesses. They love economic downturns like this, and it’s possible that Trump is simply a fanboy simp who is voluntarily taking Russian advice and example. It’s also important to say this because it means the stupid, zero-memory US citizens need to understand that it will continue even with Trump gone and even if Russia disappears.

He’s not doing this because of blackmail, he’s doing this because he wants to.

80-year-old angsty teen... how can anyone take this man child seriously?

We don't want to be the 51st state. The idea repulses us, actually.

Elbows up, guys!

No one wants to be america. People want to be human beings that are able live as human beings. People don't want to be pawns to a machine that sucks humanity and souls from living bodies.

I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the Québec-Windsor corridor.
