The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.

We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.

Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that's on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It's there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy.... You know, so our dairy farmers don't go broke.

Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit...... Carry the one....... Yeah, exactly zero times.

Sincerely,

  • Canada

I'm in the US and making Canada a state makes 0 sense to me

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 8 points 4 days ago

I guess he's also admitting to his desire of never having any new elections? As Canada would get like over 50 seats in the electoral college...

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago (4 children)

That's fair. There's still sensible people in the USA.

I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn't and shouldn't imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.

I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That's an insult to you and I am sorry.

Have a good day neighbor.

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.

-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.

So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??

Wow

[–] wampus@lemmy.ca 44 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

Russia's objective isn't tariffs -- it's to splinter/decouple international coordination and cooperation amongst western nations.

So, yeah. The faster Trump can accelerate that, the happier his boss'll be.

Like the buy[local] type campaigns are most likely getting a bit of a bump from Russian propaganda agents -- even if they are 'real' sentiments to some extent too.

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I can’t think of a single troop I’ve ever met who’s had it out for Canada, quite the opposite. This whole thing is coming from one person and he didn’t campaign on it at all. This makes as much sense to Canadians as it does to Americans. No one asked for this, not even the mouth-breathing Trumpers.

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 82 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (17 children)

I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the QuΓ©bec-Windsor corridor.

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

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (9 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.

It's difficult to invade when in a recession and you have to deploy military against your own citizens to protect Tesla buildings.

Trump and Republicans trying to convince Canada they'll be treated well while they're pissing all over their colony in DC right in front of everyone.

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

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] AlienContact2049@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah you don't get that in Alberta through

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

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The dumbest part of the 51st state nonsense, is Canada is very left leaning (compared to the US, even their right wing would probably be considered on par with Democrats here imo). Making Canada the 51st state would ensure he never wins an election again, but it seems like he's not too worried about the whole election thing moving forward. I guess when you gut CISA, and probably stole the '24 election you aren't worried about getting votes..

Also, the land mass of Canada would have to make it like 10 more states. It's already 10 provinces. It's just ridiculous.
