    Didn’t the Canadian burn the Whitehouse down once or something?

      Twice.

      Don’t make us come down there a third time, I swear to Gord.

        That’s not true. It was the British, and it happened once in 1814. And it didn’t “burn down.”

        Deliberate misspelling of “God“, famous hockey player, or short for Gordon? More than one of the above?

          It usually takes a Canadian Bacon moment where the US actually tries to take part of our sovereign territory by force.

          Of course, that’s assuming Trump doesn’t get his wish and Pollievre becomes PM. Because in that case, we’ll likely be too busy fighting our own fascist battles up here to even respond.

            Man, I hate to say it out loud, but the current state of Canadian politics isn’t looking great. RIP CBC, at the very least.

            Maybe if we’re really lucky Trump will do some absolutely insane shit and his connection to Pollievre will work against the CPC. Mind you, I can’t say I am looking forward to another Liberal government either, but such is the way of the two party system.

              If the NDP chose a new, outspoken leader who was a straight white male, they might have a chance.

                I hate that sentence, but you’re right, and I ultimately think it would be better for Canada than any of the other two options.

        If you go for the hat trick, may Gord find mercy in your heart to annex the TI region on your march back.
