“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.
This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.
I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.
This is what Canada needs to do.
Ain’t gonna happen
Trump wants Canada for whatever reason it is and he won’t let go. I fully expect him to threaten (and execute) with military actions if Canada doesn’t capitulate
Maybe a cynical point of view but we’re talking about idiots with access to nukes that won’t give up
Steve Bannon actually explained the reasons why Trump wants Canada so bad, and it’s actually pretty “rational”. I don’t want the US to take over, but we need to understand just how much they would gain if they annexed us.
Mind you, this also explains the weird obsession with Greenland. There are military thinkers that want to create a defensive position out of the newly freed strait that will manifest north of Canada, and Greenland/Canada are key positions to do this.
It’s dangerous to hand wave this as a weird and quirky tantrump, there’s some really greedy fuckers across the border and they want direct dibs on the Arctic.
They can have most of that with a sovereign Canada as an ally. If they try to take that by force, it will end up like Afghanistan. But 100x worse. All their little plans will be sabotaged into oblivion by guerrilla warfare, and their own civil war it will cause. It will trigger the fall of the American Empire
The US empire is already crumbling as is, I’m not sure how much more disruption it really needs but it might happen in our life time.
If anything, I’m pissed that we’re on the eve of a new world geopolitics era and the US completely shitted up some big players in the East. And also, shitting in their own backyard with this Canada annexation talk.
Thats cute. Lol
Oh I know that they have these very rational reasons and wasn’t trying to rationalize it away. I just wanted to point out that cheeto isn’t going to back down because he’s also a crazed fucker who doesn’t give a fuck
Defence from who? The Russians? They’re already inside the White House hahaha!
He’s not getting Canada. He’s gonna have a toddler tantrum and that’s all that will happen.
Insert article 5 turning the US into a hostile country and the millions of Canadians (who coincidentally look like Americans) with their new-found American citizenship & right to bear arms.
Going to feel so liberated!
terrorism everywhere, everyday
Nope, Uno Reverse, we surrender and the US is the UC and your government has to fix all our problems. No takesy-backsies!
I’m just hoping the chaos he’s causing internally will take down the USA sooner than he can invade.
That might very well happen yeah
They will not survive a war with Canada. We won’t beat their military in direct combat but the insurgency right next door which can easily cross into their homeland, hit some of their most populous cities, and hide easily in Canadian wilderness, would end way faster than Afghanistan and Vietnam with the same outcome
Yes there’ll be suffering on both sides, but it’s suicide. I’d rather he accomplishes that another way but fuck it
This. Just remember everyone, pipelines are everywhere and soft.
Always worth mentioning that it was more of a Geneva Checklist before we teamed up with the Polish.
There will be a civil war in the US if it happens because way more than half of americans don’t want to invade canada
I’d like to think so, but seeing how most of the population of the US is very disconnected from and apathetic about politics, current affairs, or anything outside of their personal bubble, I’m not going to rely on that possibility.
They will pay attention when their prices skyrocket. Other then that they are braindead to anything else. I say, let it happen.
Maybe, but who will they direct that anger at?
Will it be at Trump and his cronies, or will they direct it at whoever they are told is “America’s enemies”?
Very good point. It depends. The shitty economic situation in the US is directing their anger towards Canada (as the “taking advantage” of the US narrative tracks), it’s doubtful they will direct their ire to the US govt seeing as it has so much support.
They’re also starting to blame the EU, Mexico and basically everyone except the MAGAt in chief.
Maybe, but there’s a good chance that they’ll blame Canada.
On one hand, more than 50% of Americans read below a 6th grade level so it wouldn’t be surprising if they misattributed the blame. I doubt many would be able to tell you what a tariff is or how it works.
But on the other, greater than 50% are not pleased with how Trump has handled the economy thus far and the consequences haven’t even hit their wallets yet.
Americans are extremely disconnected politically but if there’s one thing they care about its the price of gas. If that goes up substantially then they will blame the president.
Best case scenario
Most likely scenario.
The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.
The entire world benefits from a strong America.
What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.
The entire Western world benefits from a strong America.
By the time this is done, there very well may not be a concept of a unified Western world any longer.
We’re on track for this to be China’s century and Trump is accelerating the process. If the US turns its back on Taiwan as it has with Ukraine we will have a new world order.
China already controls the supply chain for a majority of critical minerals through strategic partnerships with resource rich nations. If the US continues to turn its back on its allies it will be the end of its golden age as the preeminent world superpower.
Uhhh fuck no, Latin America has very little to be thankful for in a strong USA. This might be news for Canadians but the rest of the continent has always* suffered at the hands of American imperialism.
*always = 19th century onwards, ie post colonialism
Well, we’re about to test that hypothesis. The world is going to have to go it alone for a little while.
He wants our resources and, as the premier of BC said: if the president’s so interested in Canadian water, we’re gonna help him by letting him keep his watery beer.
How is American beer like sex on a beach?
spoiler
Fucking close to water
We’ll be waiting for those orange fuckers!
Love your enthusiasm, but a US invasion would overrun and utterly destroy Canada. We’d fuck them for the next ten years and make them regret every life choice they made during that time until they see the wisdom of running, like they’ve done in every invasion since WWII but it will utterly destroy the country
I don’t want that, I just want to live my nice little life.
I would rather live a country destroyed then bend the knee to those fuckers and I think a lot of canadians feel the same
