Canada cannot win a trade war with the US. When we are on our knees he’s going to ask for Yukon, nwt and nunavut. Saying basically nobody lives there and we don’t need it. He can easily buy out northern Canadians by offering lots of money or citizenship and the other 39 million Canadians will reluctantly agree it’s the best compromise.
He knows climate change is real and it makes the north more and more viable every day due to its resources and shipping route.
Another obvious hint at this was traitor Danielle Smith suggesting US military bases in the north just last week.
First of all, we don’t actually have to win the trade war. We just have to hang on for a few years. Trump is an old man. Even if he somehow manages to suspend elections in the US, he’ll drop over dead soon enough.
Secondly, do you really think he can hold even Panama long-term against a hostile local population? I don’t. Greenland would be even more amusing, since I expect the entire EU would back Denmark. Up here, the weather is still plenty dangerous to anyone he might send—global warming hasn’t changed things that much yet. Plus, I don’t think his own troops would be too enthusiastic about conducting a war of aggression.
Thirdly, I think you’ll find that most of this country wouldn’t sell Trump a load of organic fertilizer at this point, much less a substantial chunk of our territory. Not at any price. Everyone except a handful of Albertans is pissed off at him and his government in a big way.
Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom. He’s following directions from people that are telling him he’ll profit from this. Vance would be pulling the same shit as he’s just Peter Thiel’s mouthpiece, and likely the reason Musk was able to slide into the Trump admin so quickly.
However I will throw a party when Trump dies. Everyone is invited.
Spot on. Project for a New American Century. Heritage Foundation. This situation didn’t suddenly start when the USA elected Trump the first time.
These ghouls have plans, and Trump is the face of pay-to-play politics atm. Remove him and another evil belligerent twit gets tapped to take his place.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but getting stuck on these individual men and how they personally feel or what they really think about anything has become an online diversion as productive as my Bejeweled habit (and I highly suspect seeing the volume of commentary on it increases voter apathy).
[edit to delete speechifying. apparently I have a lot of feelings]
Shitler has the nuclear button. Does he seem the type to not use it when facing imminent death. I think he is a “if i cant have it nobody will” sorta psychopath. I think when shitler dies so does everyone else. Imagine adolph hitler in the bunker with the pistol in his mouth. What if he had that button?
While it’s possible that they’ve changed procedures, I seem to recall reading somewhere that after Nixon made some problematic drunken phone calls, the US arranged things so that actually launching the missiles has to go through the Joint Chiefs of Staff, not just the president. Trump may only have the safety in his grip, not the trigger.
Even if he does have the trigger, I’m betting someone would wrestle it out of his hands at that point—not because any of them give a damn about us, but because nuclear fallout in southern Ontario would likely devastate New England, given the general tendency of weather on this continent to move eastward. So you wanna have a revolution? Sending nuclear fallout in the direction of your largest population center is probably a good way to start one.
Hoping youre correct
It’s a lot more dangerous for the US to nuke Canada than it was to nuke Japan. As for more conventional attacks, not only would a Guerilla war against people who know American culture so completely and in the Canadian landscape suck, but the Canadian military is, uh, not to be fucked with.

I prefer nuclear war between Russia and US, to Canadian guerilla war no matter how confident you are of Canadians.
Trump/US complaining about “having to defend Canada” is purely and only because Canada lets US explain who our enemies are. Only actual enemy of Canada is the US as this weekend showed them to be.
By not treating US’s enemies as Canada’s enemies, then Canada, through NORAD, is the one defending the US. Demanding the US to pay significantly for the privilege of Canada defending them is necessary from an enemy. Nuclear weapons are a cheap and effective way of saying “STFU asshole”, and a path to ending wars quickly. US economy/debt level is incapable of absorbing a single nuclear strike. Fucking around is an insufficient response to their fucking around.
That was more than 80 years ago
Over a hundred, in fact-it’s WWI. There have been plenty of more recent war crimes, but those are mostly related to cooperation with the US, so I left them out, lol.
