The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says he found it 'incredibly concerning' to hear senior staff from U.S. President Donald Trump’s office convey that the commander-in-chief is 'very serious' when he talks about annexing Canada.
What a fucking loser. Who does that to their closest ally? Hey Canadians, there are a ton of us in the US that are fucking disgusted by this that also feel helpless. Please don’t let this man make you hate all Americans. Trust me, he is pretty talented at dividing people.
Right, unfortunately it’s not Canadians job to make sure every single American they interact is “one of the good ones.”
It’s an unfortunate guilt by association, but many, many, many of us Americans exhibit all of those qualities: arrogance, lack of respect for others, blatant ignoring of rules and agreements. Just generally being an asshole bully.
I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but I’m not quite convinced this was a legitimate victory. He mumbled something about “Elon knowing voting machine numbers” or some such on inauguration day. He’s letting Elon’s kid tell him to STFU on camera and is just sitting there taking it? Nah, something doesn’t add up to me.
Trump isn’t some dude who took power in a coup, he was elected by a pretty decisive margin. The house and senate are also GOP and were elected by a majority. And, this isn’t just about Trump. I clearly remember how the US verbally attacked Canada under George Bush Jr. too, because even though Canada was willing to send soldiers to fight and die alongside US soldiers in Afghanistan, it wasn’t willing to go on an adventure in Iraq too.
This is who the US is now. Some dude posting on social media that “hey, it’s not all of us” or “this isn’t who we are” or whatever is empty. If you’re out in the streets, day after day, then sure, I’ll respect that effort. But, really, the US is now the Nazi Bar, and I don’t like Nazis.
Oh we’re pretty united. When some dipshit from North Dakota says he can’t wait to show us why they have the 2nd amendment and “clear out the liberal wackos” at a professional engineering conference, it really ties the population together.
Trump’s closest ally (or “dom” if you will) is Vladimir Putin.
And he would stand to gain from any damage to US and to US-Canada relations. If US actually starts fighting and fucking up everything, it takes the heat off Russia and all US aid getting canceled will not be good for Europe and especially Ukraine. But also so many other places around the world from USaid.
I don’t think there’s a solution that both clears out the far-right and leaves this country intact. (And in my opinion, it should probably be like five distinct countries)

Its not a hatred of Americans. Its a hatred of America.
The culture. The arrogance. The lack of respect for other nations. The blatant ignoring of rules and agreements they brokered. The list goes on.
All things Americans have turned a blind eye towards for decades.
So yeah, we know not all Americans are bad but theres no denying this has been allowed to happen.

I just hope that y’all understand that those of us trying to flee are on your side 🥲
It’s the ones who want to stay behind that you should be worried about
Ehhhh, just wait till shit really hits the fan.
The ones who helped this all happen will be the first demanding to be let in because… *checks notes… They are entirely selfish and arrogant.
Give it time, and you’ll be competing with them to flee somewhere.
At some point in life you’ll realize this is about homo sapiens when they form crowds and hierarchies, and not about just America.
The “its just human nature” argument is tired. Societies impact behaviour.
Yes, I know. Believe it or not, yours is from among the better ones.
Nah America has serious deep rooted issues that you just cannot ignore anymore

The same 2A pussies who say the guns are to stop gov tyranny have suddenly become silent. I guess they just wanted THEIR preferred form of tyranny.
By “tyranny” they mean (1) being expected to pay taxes to enable society’s basic functioning, and (2) being expected to treat others with respect.
They want chaos. They figure if you shake the snowglobe hard enough they’ll magically move to the top out of their shitty life.

Someone looking to sever ties with that ally. Everything Trump does makes the US weaker - his goal isn’t to acquire Canada, it’s to damage the US.
It’s OK. We know. But the US needs to be rid of this Nazi regime.
