“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
He’s not getting Canada. He’s gonna have a toddler tantrum and that’s all that will happen.
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.
Defence from who? The Russians? They’re already inside the White House hahaha!
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
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
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.
Maybe, but there’s a good chance that they’ll blame Canada.
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.
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
