We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.

No ... we need a lot more than that to work through the line of succession.

Okay… that made me laugh. Thanks. Needed that tonight.

I think if this stupid bastard makes any kind of military moves, there will be an uprising. Invading a long-standing ally is ridiculous.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I got it in 2020, but I can't imagine being in the military right now. We might attack an ally or we might commit a genocide. Neither of which I can support or accept as a lawful order.

Fuck off. He is a senior Alzheimer patient.

I'm sure Ontario, Alberta, British Colombia ... will all be happy to lose their provincial legislatures for one State House. No local representation. All provincial systems of trade destroyed.

This is idiotic talk.

It's the talk of a hostile mobster nation. It resembles Putin's hostility towards Russia's neighbours.

Geezus. Is he really fucking serious about this shit?

Remember, it ain't just trumps dumbfuck ass. He's got a whole cabal of his team telling him to do this shit and encouraging him. This idiot doesn't know wtf he's doing without other people feeding him info.

We should be asking who's behind all these ideas.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, the two countries that would benefit from Canada's nonexistence are the USA and Russia. There might be a clue in that as to who is seeding these ideas in Republican circles.

Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!

....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?

This news article has been posted on r/worldnews and upvoted to be one of the top posts of the day at least twice already, and the mods remove it every single time. Feels like they are trying to cover up Trump’s plans for Canada, at least for now. Probably until more Americans can be brainwashed against Canada.

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Come to Canada.

Find out.
