The only thing that makes sense is for Trump and Musk to take a rocket car to Mars.

Stop both siding this nonsense.

I recently met two Albertans out here in South Korea at a bar. They were on the other side of the bar from me, and when they walked past, I greeted them as an Ontarian and offered to shake their hands. They both declined the handshake and proudly announced, "We're not on the same team."

That was a few weeks ago. I'm still disturbed by it. I knew Albertans had a reputation because of the politicking there. But I hadn't realized it would be so blatant. That same night, two South Africans happily asked me my thoughts on Trump, and I was perhaps too honest in my first statement, and they grew upset with me and insisted he was good for Canadians and South Africans, both.

I left the bar not long after. Haven't seen those four come back, so there is a bright side to the story, at least.

They refused to shake your hand because you are from Ontario? What the heck.... they need mental health care.

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 32 minutes ago* (last edited 32 minutes ago)

That's just Alberta....

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Lol they should fucking stay in South Korea. They are definately in the minority, it's a larger minority then most of Canadas opinion but goddamn they are still a minority. Should have told them to never fucking come back

Trump became President and I decided to start the process to get guns.

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago

Conservative Americans in shambles reading this as they find out that we do Infact own guns in Canada and are proud to own them. We just don't get all fucking pussy about not being able to own fully automatic ones with 50 round magazines lol.

He's gonna fucking invade, isn't he?

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

The USA needs congressional approval to officially go to war against another sovereign nation. Like with Afghanistan or Iraq. BUT Republicans control the house and Senate, and sure if they're that fucking delusional they could vote for it. But with that being said, it would 100% rip America apart and they fucking deserve it. Not only would we not put up with that shit and I would gladly shoot any foreign soldier on our land, it would mean the Russians getting exactly what they wanted.

Americans reading this, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER or you or your friends are going to start fucking dying on our fucking land for no other reason than a fat orange fucks vanity. You will be ostracized by the developed world and I for one will never fucking forgive you.

[–] sunfur82@lemmy.ca 2 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

They voted for this. So I don't have any sympathy for them saying Trump doesn't represent them. He does. They go on and on about how they're the greatest country in the world, and how their government is 'of the people, by the people, for the people'. They're more responsible for the actions of their government than any other nation is for theirs.

And the American mentality is that their pride will never let them admit if they're wrong. So even though they may know that talks of annexation and taking away our country are beyond offensive, they can't say it. They have to say that it's for some greater good that no one else can see, even if they know it's BS. But the problem is, short of NATO putting troops in our country to help fight off an invasion, I don't know what would stop the US from just trying to take whatever they want in the name of 'freedom'. And the funny thing is, on the Cato Human Freedom Index, which measures a person's person, economic and civil freedom, we rank higher than the US. We're #11, and the US, the leader of the free world, is #17. So how are they the 'freest nation' in the world? Why would we downgrade ourselves by joining them? We wouldn't. No one would. Unless it was by force.

I've said this before, and I meant it then; the mentality of the US is that they're basically a r***** telling their victim that if they lay down and let them (USA) have their way with them, they won't get hurt. THAT's the US right now. They're our neighbours, but they're NOT our friends. And they probably never were. They just finished hurting other nations, and decided to turn their attention to us.

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 minutes ago

Yup. But there is zero fucking chance we would let them take this place willy nilly. I will die before I yield any land to these facist thugs. As our countrymen and women fought before us, we will remain the true north strong and free, or we will DIE to defend it. The dreams of this great country of ours will never die

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like. All the signs are there and steps have been taken in preparation. The forcing of Canadians to register and get finger printed in the next 30 days was the icing on the cake. Now we wait and see how this unfolds.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 1 points 30 minutes ago

Canada is doing some stuff as well. here is the official govt release about the move.

I’m no economist but here’s the best explanations

I read so far about what Canada is doing with this move (post-Carney’s arrival I might add).

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

The National Post is a US billionaire owned right wing propaganda rag that most Canadians wouldn't wipe their ass with. If they're saying this it's a warning that should be heeded.

We are a large, rugged country with huge areas to hide in full of large rugged people with guns.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

He clearly wants Canada, but it's not clear he wants it that bad. If he thinks more expensive electricity is a nasty move he's probably not too hot about stuff and people blowing up.

I suspect the next few months will be a lot like the past one for Canada. Not better or worse.

Honestly, Canada should shut down their border to the US period… I wish this could happen, but I feel it is unrealistic.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

And get all our fucking data off Azure and AWS servers already. The fact we did this in the first place has bothered me since day 1. I don't care if the data centres are in Canada, they're owned by a foreign company and "trust me bro" isn't a security policy.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

I'm for it. It will hurt, but we'll manage.

Won't someone assassinate this senile fat fuck?

Ronald McDonald has been trying every damn day.

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.

Might be time for a EU expansion

[–] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 29 points 15 hours ago

-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.
