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]
