Speed running the nazi playbook.
Sometimes I can’t believe how domesticated USians are.
Bold words coming from the prime minister of New South Saskatchewan
You mean the gobernador of New Old New Mexico?
I would love it. Don’t let us vote though, just bring us that healthcare and stuff.
losing healthcare surely is worth all that !
Only after the last tree has been cut down
Only after the last river has been poisoned
Only after the last fish has been caught
Then will you find that money cannot be eaten.My bestie had this poster on her door when I was a kid. Indelible impression left.

Weird. This is the reaction I’d expect for a toddler, not a 14 year old.
Huh.
Very brave of you to defend the honor of his melodramatic comment.
You’d like to think so. But a shocking number of grown ass adults won’t get it.
FYI he is probably using the word subsidy when he really means the phrase ‘trade deficit’ which is less than $100b actually.
But he’s an idiot buffoon with no business leading out on the economics of a small village not to mention the largest economy in the world.
Fuck it. Close the borders. We good.
Let the queer folks come over first plz, we promise to be good Canadians.
Of fucking course!! If you can get to Ontario and need help getting settled/staying here please DM me. All queer folx are welcome at my house and in my country!!
If you have unlimited oil (?) why are you getting so salty about having to buy it from Canada ?
Is Canada supposed to be afraid of a country that couldn’t defeat Vietnamese rice farmers and Afghan goatherders?
I mean, the US military absolutely can and will roflstomp traditional governments and heirarchies. Both the Taliban (2001) Saddam’s gov’t were steamrolled. The followup of holding territory and “winning hearts and minds” is where they fall on their face.
And this threat really seems to be for the Canadian government and ‘elite’ rather than the people.
Both the Taliban
You didn’t get the memo? The US ran from Afghanistan with it’s tail between it’s legs, while the Taliban rules there and is now literally untouchable. The US’s “steamrolling” isn’t as impressive as you believe it to be.
“winning hearts and minds”
The US can’t even win “hearts & minds” in Bumfucksville, Arizona any more.
The Taliban did return, but I seriously doubt that there was much, if any, continuity of leadership between the two governments. We (the Allied Powers) destroyed Nazi Germany, but their ideological descendents still managed to fester and erupt some 80 years later.
The point still holds that the threat made here is not against the common Canadian, but instead to the leadership that would be targeted.
As for your point on Arizona, I’m having trouble parsing it. Do you mean to say that the residents do not support the US government? US adventurism? The Democratic/Republican Party?
but their ideological descendents still managed to fester
That’s because the US and their liberal European collaborators went out of their way to preserve fascism in Europe. The US tried to destroy the Taliban - and now the Taliban is essentially untouchable (which they most definitely weren’t before). You get a lot of political credibility on your home turf for defeating the US - just ask Vietnam.
I’m having trouble parsing it.
The whole reason there is a fascist resurgence is because liberalism has been exposed as a pack of lies. That started even before the 2008 recession, and now one of liberalism’s holiest cows - Zionism - is collapsing right before everyone’s eyes.
No more carrot for the US - now there will only be the stick. “Hearts & Minds” had absolutely nothing to do with the brown people they were dropping napalm and willy pete on - the target of “Hearts & Minds” was always the people doing the dropping.
far better military protection
From whom? Polar bears? Santa Claus?
“Nice country you have there. Would be a shame if something happened to it” -Trump probably
Yeah fuck Trump, but also please take a geography lesson.
I think the orange Cheerios still does not understand tariffs. Right now Canada isn’t paying any tariffs on imports, the people in the US n the other hand are paying tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, Colombian, Chinese … products.
More like he knows his base doesn’t understand tariffs, and when they make things worse they’ll believe it when he blames somebody else
Just claim random insane bullshit that be easily disproven by a 5 year old, and don’t worry about it because the conspiracy theory and maga idiots will eat it up. You’re always right, remember?
less like “Lebensraum” and more like an attempts at “Anschluss”
Do you want Canada to pivot to China? Because that’s how you get Canada to pivot towards China… I think.
I’m just a dumb tropical dweller from the deep south, so I will not pretend to understand Canuck politics or the whims of their people, but history shows that even liberal, democratic nations sometimes turn to tyranical regimes for protection against bigger threats. See Finland during WW2.
Something, something, enemy of my enemy…
Let’s all become vassal states of Orange land.
… Oh wait, yeah, hard pass.
I’m pretty sure that Canadians wouldn’t mind closer ties to the Netherlands.
Yes, 't Kikkerland can always do with more friends and allies, but technically 't Huis van Oranje became extinct several centuries ago 😇
As for the Orange in charge at Canada’s southern border, not so much.
Nobody calls the Netherlands “'t Kikkerland”.
That’s why it’s “Huis van Oranje-Nassau”, not “Huis van Oranje”.Please don’t misrepresent my country like this.
The other person was simply correct: Netherlands 🧡 Canada.
As a result of my heritage, I lived in Nederland for 14 years. It was referred to frequently as 't Kikkerland. The first language I learnt was Dutch.
As somebody who actually lives in the Netherlands, born and raised.
The only version of “kikkerland” we use is when we reference ourselves as a small country, like in our “klein kikkerlandje”.
I’m guessing that I’m at least few decades older than you and language has evolved. I haven’t lived in Nederland since 1990, but I went to primary, secondary and university there.
Whilst you might not refer to it as 't Kikkerland, travel away from your home and you’ll discover plenty of people who still refer to it like that, with fondness and good memories.
In my case, the memory comes with a song:
