    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.

    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!

    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.

    The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.

    We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.

    Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that’s on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It’s there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy… You know, so our dairy farmers don’t go broke.

    Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit… Carry the one… Yeah, exactly zero times.

    🖕

    Sincerely,

    • Canada

        That’s fair. There’s still sensible people in the USA.

        I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn’t and shouldn’t imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.

        I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That’s an insult to you and I am sorry.

        Have a good day neighbor.

          Nah we’re good. I totally get the intent and point. And I’m one of the ones hit by the electricity thing. Sucks, but y’all have to fight back.

            Sorry about that. I’m not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally)… It’s not great, and I’m sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.

            You don’t want this, I can assure you, we don’t want this, but it’s what is happening.

        Canada would never be state. A territory of unending insurgency at best, until the US killed every last one of us.

        I literally thought it was another one of his stupid speaking mistakes, like when he suggested bleach/UV inside the body (he was just repeating some stuff he didn’t understand badly, and iirc he didn’t keep harping on it). Kinda surprised to see he was serious about it, it makes no sense to me either.

        From a trade/foreign policy perspective, no, it makes no sense. From a long term growth of the USA perspective, it makes a lot of sense. As the Earth heats up, the equator will become less habitable, and the poles will become more habitable. Canada and Greenland have a low population density because of their northern climate, they have resources that are un-extracted because it is not economical to pay someone to live on-site. Every year it gets warmer, and that land becomes more valuable.

        For the record, I’m not against Canada becoming a new State, but I am against using military or economic strong-arming to sway that decision.

    I’ll cherish Trump when he’s 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.

    What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?

    EDIT: This site seems to cover a lot of the benefits gained and what protections are in place to limit overreach, but given the current state of affairs I can’t imagine why Congress would reign in the abuse.

      The national guard, on the Canadian Border perhaps, nearest the manufacturing and farming corridor of the neighbor he has been openly threatening to annex, in one of the most heavily populated areas in the country with access to be the largest volume of fresh water in the world…

      Someone else said musk is prob forcing him to do it because he want to be the next president. Since he has canadian nationality he’ll be able to gun for president.

      Kinda crazy guess, but they are crazy so 🤷‍♂️
