“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution:
No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

If he lands in Canada I hope someone kills him.
The irony is that America is more likely to split up into at least two and probably more countries before any territory a added to the existing boundaries. I give America les than three decades before it splits up.
Blessed day, Commander
President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state
It seriously ticks me off how news organizations are referring to trumps actions.
It’s always cutesy, nice, polite.
Trump doesn’t want to “add” Canada, he wants to annex it, invade if necessary. This is a hostile dictator talking about destroying our country and I think we should choose words that describe a little better what the fucker is trying to do
We should but this is a US outlet so… They can’t be biting the hand that feeds.
That’s what a free media is supposed to do!
Even annex is too soft
The same way France was a province of Germany? #occupationBloodbath
There’s a great scene in a movie with Joe Pesci and a baseball bat.
I fantasize about Trumps fascist face being on the receiving end.
Yes, please continue to unite Canadians against the conservatives before the election
A lot of conservatives i know think trump is right and that Canada is being subsidized by the US. One has even started to claim he will move to the first province that joins the US
I didn’t know I had this many walking amongst me. Of the ones I’ve spoken with they seem to share these values:
They seem to hate that Ontario is forcing “gays” on kids at such a young age. I’m assuming my friend meant teaching about accepting people from different backgrounds, as I don’t think sex education applied to the age range he was referring.
They think they’re being taxed too highly (that’s fine).
They think US Healthcare woes are exaggerated. One said that you don’t really pay that fee, it’s a different fee and it’s not that much. Another said: I don’t go to the hospital that often.
They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they’ll have.
(I will reiterate that these are just the ones that I’ve spoken with) I’m just wondering why they don’t just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration …
They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they’ll have.
Not only do working-class Canadians pay less in taxes overall, compared to working-class Americans, but we also pay less on our taxes for our healthcare, and don’t have to pay a single cent on top of that for essential healthcare.
Where it does flip is with the “middle class”, on the upper end of the working class. They do pay more in taxes in Canada, but you’d have to be earning in the top-20% of all adults or families to see that happen. For the average Canadian adult or family, they pay less than their American counterparts.
I’m just wondering why they don’t just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration …
I get it, immigration takes time and some of them may not have the skills or the means to do it, or to do it quickly…HOWEVER, in the meantime, if they have no allegiance to this country, they should show some dignity by refraining from voting and refraining from doing everything they can to screw up the country for the people who actually DO care about it.

Canadians would teach the United States the meaning of insurgency.
Given how impotent the US was in the face of resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan, how would they be able to cope with an insurgency where all the enemy combatants can blend in and walk among them?
American: “Hello there!”
Other “American”: “Hi! How are you?”
American: “Great, and yourself?”
Other “American”: “Good! Great weather we’re having, eh?”
American: “What?”
Other “American”: “What?”
American: *eyes the other “American” suspiciously*
Other “American”: “Aw shit, my cover is blown.” *Stabs American*
If it come to blows all Canadians are going to need to forget their EhBC’s.

Exactly.
“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
So he DOES need things from us. If he didn’t need us he’d just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn’t have something he wanted?
He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn’t like that we’re our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.
As an ABC voter, I’d like to thank Donnie for the help in during this crucial time of the election campaign. 🍁💪
ABC Vancouver?
Trump insists that Canada needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs it
Sounds like a bad ex-relationship
How Putin of him!
US programming for war on Russia and China, amplified by all Canadian media/parties has been very successful. The US’s promised destruction of Canada has very little pushback from Americans. The Canadian political consensus of closer ties to Europe only works if Europe(+Canada) has closer ties with China. Otherwise, Europe will choose to suck up to US’s larger market instead of Canada, and in colonial sycophancy olympics, promising the US to help screw Canada over is path to get tariff exemptions. Europeans have same CIA programming that we do. A completely mental self destructive attitude towards Russia.
As Canadians, we have the exclusive choice of protecting our sovereignty and prosperity or remaining programmed into US empire’s warmongering enemy manufacturing.
Sorry bud but Canada shouldn’t swap out one dictator for another, and hopefully intelligence will prevail this election.
None of our electoral choices have a practicality of Canadian survivability through deprogramming Canadians from their US programmed hatreds. Multipolarism is not choosing submission to a new (unipolar) dictator.
We do not need to trade with countries that do not share our values to be successful.
“values” is the key programming point. A key problem with democracy is that divisive speech and disinformation are free too, and oligarchism and CIA evil funds much more lies than the humanist truth that democracy was supposed to attain. Our elections are hateful identity based on preventing the opposition shit form winning. Proof that our values are empty CIA sycophancy is that “our values” say that the rightful election winner in Venezuela is a narco traficker who will give away the country’s oil industry to US companies.
Values of pluralism and freedom are awesome. Values supremacism as a basis for US empire warmongering support is not any real humanist value you should have any pride in. You either have values or you are a piece of shit for provoking/supporting a Ukraine proxy war to diminish Russia.
True values are the ones that are best for our society. We can recommend gay marriage for Russia and human/climate sustainability assistance, and the right motivation to do so is to make world/Russia happier. Values supremacism on the other hand is just an excuse for hate. Your programming for hate simply can’t be deprogrammed by facts and metrics on improvement towards your/our values/humanism. Your programmers will never let you see their side.
I should also note that there is a wide (divisive) gap between CPC and LPC values, that has gotten wider with social media algorithms. Maybe our only shared values is that we will thank the CIA for praising/blessing whatever election outcome we get. A world order where the only governments we praise are CIA blessed democracies where all parties that are allowed to present a chance are forever in favour of US led military alliances/colonization should be a red flag on what our values actually are.
There are 2 nazi apartheid ethnostates in the world that the CIA-aligned praises as great democracies. The identity of values supremacism is never threatened by the shift/emptiness and moral bankruptcy of a lack in values. The identity is all that matters/remains.
Touch grass.
