Better start hitting the gym. Get in shape in case we get drafted to defend Canada.
I wouldn’t want any of our American friends or our Canadian soldiers to be killed because of that fat fuck.
If anything, effort needs to be made to remove him before this escalates even further. Our true allies will understand, because a war between Canada and the United States would end up as a World War, and nobody wants that.
It would not end as a world war. It would probably pull in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and maybe some other countries, because we are part of the commonwealth.
And even then I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Canada needs friends who stand up to US. That is not the current US colonies who are also passively cowering in fear of Trump.
I’m an old man now. I have skills though. Been dusting off the trauma kit and reading up. Never hurts to be prepared even if things don’t go south so to speak.
We need to stop adopting the same enemies that US manufactures. “Rules based world order” BS must stop immediately, because it has always been warmongering and extortion. When we don’t make the enemies of the US our own, then Canada is protecting the US from Russia. Not the other way around. US needs to pay for NORAD services. Whether its through NAFTA obedience/niceness, or risk of collapse that it is already teethering on, from just a single nuclear strike. Any talk of a draft in Canada must be in the context that Canada’s only enemy in the world is the US. Not BS of Canadians sent to die in Ukraine to enhance Blackrock’s cheap/corrupt privatisations.
We are not supporting Ukraine because of the US. We are supporting them because they are defending against a Russian invasion.
But everything’s so much more expensive in the EU, like
HealthcareFoodTelecommunicationsTransportationInsuranceTaxes that include the wealthyWhat the heck’s the point of this Commonwealth shit if the UK’s not gonna protect their stock
we are peers with the UK in the commonwealth, they are not mommy
Canada will join the EU guaranteed!
The comments in question from CBC:
Hmm your link doesn’t work for me.
My bad, edited, try again. I screwed up changing it from YT shorts to a normal video.
We need to take this seriously and be ready if they try to come for us
Not only is it obvious to everyone else, that tariffs are war/extortion to ceize Canada after it is destroyed, Trudeau know it too. There needs to be a stronger response than “wait for 30 days”, because Canada is like Gaza to him.
STEPS CANADA CAN TAKE TODAY:
Getting foreign auto companies specifically to make long term commitments to Canada, if only just voicing resistance to building new plants in US as tariffs go on, and are presumed temporary. Overall, the high level of auto sector job subsidies Canada pays, would make UBI with Chinese EV purchases a policy that makes Canadians better off. US insurance industry needs to announce 10%-20% auto insurance hikes today for potential halt in NA auto production impact on “replacement value” pricing.
Our retailers should not be restocking US products, with PR announcements over uncertainty. Discontinuing US products until long term threats to Canada are removed. Alternatives, including Chinese ones, should be explored.
Canadian military spending must immediately stop all F35 purchases, or at very least insist on the Israel version (even USAF not allowed to use) which gives manuals and right to repair. F35 is a broken product, and likely has US kill switch for regular model. All Canadian military spending should be on dual use systems that can defend from US. More shipyards is opportunity for export (US included), and can counter main threat to Canadian coast from US fishing or the absurd notion that Russia will build oil and gas rigs in Canadian waters.
An energy export agency that prices US oil exports at same rate as WTI price, with profits shared between Fed and Provincial level, is a path to turn upside down “captured Canadian oil” into captured US refineries designed to process heavy crude. Such pricing avoids any incentive to build new refineries for those markets. Similarly Canadian electricity (ON/PQ dominated) would be intermediated to price into wholesale US markets instead of “flooding US markets to undercut them”. Profits divided similarly. These actions lower Canadian energy prices by selling less to US, while also enhancing total national profit.
Diplomatic visits should be daily news. China specifically buying this years agricultural harvests instead of US ones is a huge win. Oil for solar panels trade. Cooperation with Mexico to get them to substitute Canada and China for agricultural exports. A national emergency on eggs, with export tariffs to US.
As a broader international picture, the choice of making USA’s enemies our own enemies is the only reason the US can say it “subsidizes our defense”. Senate (because Parliament suspended) inquiries into whether Canada’s defense is enhanced through a more neutral stance on the world, joining the global south in neutrality/cooperation with China and Russia, Whether US voter suppression, abuse of provisional ballots, should delegitimize its democracy status. Oppression of CDC vital to WHO and international health, is a corruption that also weakens any response to fentanyl. Foreign interference that includes/focuses on US/CIA and Israel in its scope is a point of inquiry. That genocide supporting Bill Ackman’s role in US election corruption might require nationalizing his stake in Tim Hortons parent company, is a point of inquiry.
North Korea and China friendliness are issues that also affect ROK and JPN. Retaining those countries access to our markets as balance to their US subservience, is an important win, that starts with diplomatic ties/overtures with North Korea. Inquiries on whether NATO aggression and disinformation may pervert the reality of Russia’s claims of self defense in its Ukraine operations can very well end up with a sham decision that “the US empire rules based world order prevails”, but that inquiry requires NATO allies and US to strongly support Canada in order to maintain the sham. The point is to start the inquiry today. Any pretense that Trump is a Putin puppet, either appeases Trump, but as Trump just got Ukraine to give it all rights to its rare earth minerals in exchange for a trickle of additional aid, the US is the sole beneficiary of our allied commitment to extorting Ukraine to the last Ukrainian for only US pillaging, and Trump bluster, is in fact US empire extortion gains, when world cowers in fear of him.
OP is correct. National emergency BS is a false pretext for war through extortion on Canada. Averting tariffs/extortion 30 days from now starts now. If our allies won’t help, then we need new friends. When we are not enemies with US enemies, then Canada protects the US from Russian ICBMs through NORAD. US needs to pay very high “rent” for NORAD cooperation if US congress does not install protections for President to launch extortion/war campaigns against Canada. “National emergencies justified for extortion against Canada” need congressional review as to whether they are true or false.
I’m willing to listen to nearly everything you proposed, except for neutrality or cooperation with Russia. Not a chance. They invaded a sovereign country. We don’t sacrifice our principles to that degree, and abandon Ukraine, in the interests of economic gain.
I’m honestly just glad it’s not Mexico for once. We really, really don’t need to be messed with right now. It’s not that we wouldn’t be able to handle it, but we’re doing great for the first time in my life and I don’t want to see that spoiled.
But whatever the outcome, it’s a reminder that we need to stand together.
Counteroffer: would Canada like Michigan as the 11th province?
No i think the article here is that this is really a legitimate threat. And the US having veto power in Nato is a big fucking deal because that means we can’t rely on our Nato allies to do anything.
They’re really serious about taking us over.
We have known for some time.
This is also why I am going for my firearms license this year.
And once I have it, an FN-P90 with full-sized magazines. Plus something decently portable and long-range. Because if they cross the border in force - and America has had invasion plans refreshed every decade since WWII - I intend to make their occupation as painful as possible. We’ll definitely lose and be fully occupied - 40M vs 134M is no contest - but asymmetrical warfare can be exceedingly effective against a larger (and arrogant) aggressor.
Who’s with me in getting their license to practice at the range with?
You sound like a child. Anyways, full autos are not legal in Canada.
Where do you get a firearms license?
It’s a one day course to take, then once you pass the exam it’s about 6 months to get it approved, then you can just walk into Canadian Tire and then walk out with a rifle.
On the plus side, millions of Canadian voters would help us get rid of him if he is somehow successful.
Personally i would like to see a unified market with one currency like the EU did. We always put the EU on a pedestal in everything they do. So this should be an easy one to convince the people with.
Just purchased, juuuuuust in case…
Not Chump himself but lobbyists whispering in his ear about how rich they will all get extorting resources then selling them to John Q. Public.
