Could Canada invoke NATO's article 5 to request assistance to defend against the USA?
Yes. Article 5 doesn't make distinctions between being attacked by members or even require all members to agree, it in fact specifically obligates individual states to act in collective defense so there's not some veto power or anything like that to stop it.
“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution:
No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.
Trying to remove any and all trade barriers in order to prevent trade.
If Canada doesn't have anything of value, then why does he have such a hard-on for stealing Canada? 🤔
But then, after reading the Canadian conservative policy declaration document this seems on brand. The CPC can't go more than a few sentences without contradicting themselves either. It's a terrifying document to read through, and the fact that they have as much support as they do is equally terrifying.
If he lands in Canada I hope someone kills him.
President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state
It seriously ticks me off how news organizations are referring to trumps actions.
It's always cutesy, nice, polite.
Trump doesn't want to "add" Canada, he wants to annex it, invade if necessary. This is a hostile dictator talking about destroying our country and I think we should choose words that describe a little better what the fucker is trying to do
I agree that, generously stated, “reporting neutrality” is completely bogus these days. Everything is so nonchalant.
We should but this is a US outlet so... They can't be biting the hand that feeds.
That's what a free media is supposed to do!
Even annex is too soft
I've used the word "conquer" for this, but even then that makes it feel kind of like a board game.
The irony is that America is more likely to split up into at least two and probably more countries before any territory a added to the existing boundaries. I give America les than three decades before it splits up.
I see three successor states at minimum: the New California Republic, New New England, and a theocracy seated in either Utah or Texas. Probably Utah though
The theocracy will start based in Texas but then Gilead will find out that Mormons are playing to win and the Mormons will find out Evangelicals don't actually think they're Christian.
A hybrid Fallout/Futurama future, you say? Sign me up.
Blessed day, Commander
Yes, please continue to unite Canadians against the conservatives before the election
I really hope that's what this is doing, but honestly I can't tell at this point. Some people are so disconnected from reality they either don't see this news, don't care, or maybe even like it. I have a coworker that called Trump's clown parade of a government "strong" and just yesterday commented on the voter turnout that "I guess people are really fed up with the liberals".
A lot of conservatives i know think trump is right and that Canada is being subsidized by the US. One has even started to claim he will move to the first province that joins the US
I didn't know I had this many walking amongst me. Of the ones I've spoken with they seem to share these values:
They seem to hate that Ontario is forcing "gays" on kids at such a young age. I'm assuming my friend meant teaching about accepting people from different backgrounds, as I don't think sex education applied to the age range he was referring.
They think they're being taxed too highly (that's fine).
They think US Healthcare woes are exaggerated. One said that you don't really pay that fee, it's a different fee and it's not that much. Another said: I don't go to the hospital that often.
They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they'll have.
(I will reiterate that these are just the ones that I've spoken with) I'm just wondering why they don't just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration ...
They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they'll have.
Not only do working-class Canadians pay less in taxes overall, compared to working-class Americans, but we also pay less on our taxes for our healthcare, and don’t have to pay a single cent on top of that for essential healthcare.
Where it does flip is with the “middle class”, on the upper end of the working class. They do pay more in taxes in Canada, but you’d have to be earning in the top-20% of all adults or families to see that happen. For the average Canadian adult or family, they pay less than their American counterparts.
No we do pay that much. My job apparently pays $9000 a year for me to have health insurance, and I still have to pay $170 a month for it. Plus deductibles, co-pays, and other bullshit.
Anyways, how much are yall even taxed that’s “too much”?

So... by joining the us... they think that will stop subsidizing the US? Have they not seen what california already does for half of the country?
Yes thank you for reminding everybody who knows the truth that you're an actual jackass. Everyone else is deluding themselves, it's driving us crazy.
Canadians would teach the United States the meaning of insurgency.
Given how impotent the US was in the face of resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan, how would they be able to cope with an insurgency where all the enemy combatants can blend in and walk among them?
American: "Hello there!"
Other "American": "Hi! How are you?"
American: "Great, and yourself?"
Other "American": "Good! Great weather we're having, eh?"
American: "What?"
Other "American": "What?"
American: *eyes the other "American" suspiciously*
Other "American": "Aw shit, my cover is blown." *Stabs American*

And, best of all, walk among them in the continental United States. A vast, sprawling country of crumbling infrastructure just waiting for a saboteur's gentle nudge, awash in easily-accessible guns, and demonstrably populated by sheep who can be panicked into decades of self-destruction by a couple of buildings getting knocked down. Who haven't experienced war anywhere except as entertainment on their TV screens in centuries.
Here's hoping that even Trump's idiocy has a limit before it comes to that.
Oh yes, the local Timmy’s Hoverround Brigade is exactly like the Mujahideen who trained in asymmetrical warfare since they were children.
Canadians are completely delusional about what we’re actually capable of.
The Canadians would also find no shortage of Americans willing to help them, as well.
Exactly.
“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
So he DOES need things from us. If he didn't need us he'd just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn't have something he wanted?
He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn't like that we're our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.
The same way France was a province of Germany? #occupationBloodbath
Trump insists that Canada needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs it
Sounds like a bad ex-relationship
Everything he says is a lie/confession.
Schrödinger's Truth
There’s a great scene in a movie with Joe Pesci and a baseball bat.
I fantasize about Trumps fascist face being on the receiving end.
As an ABC voter, I'd like to thank Donnie for the help in during this crucial time of the election campaign. 🍁💪

We don't need anything from the Untied States. I encourage everyone to continue to avoid buying products made in the USA.
