He sounds like Putin
Yes, Putin invaded Ukraine on the premise that people need protection from Ukrainian government.

So it’s a protection racket. Gotcha. Brought to you by the Captured States of America.
Trump has been LARPing as a mob boss his entire adult life. This makes sense.
We need to start calling them what they are, the Fascist States of America.

What are we in danger of? Having too many resources that don't belong to the US? I'm waiting for someone to wake up and realize the third time's the charm so we can stop having to entertain this idiot.
How precise are Canada's targeting systems? I don't want a war with you guys because my idiot president will carpet bomb your cities...you could theoretically end this whole fiasco in 3-5 preemptive missile strikes...just putting that out there if anyone has the keys
It's much easier for someone on the inside to do it. Less political and the successor won't feel obligated to start/continue a war. It's why America sends the CIA to Venezuela (et al) instead of missiles.
All right, think you can get the word up the chain? I know Canada's got some clandestine operations....now would be a good time to use them
My uncle Gord Poutine is already on his way to DC with a box of matches.

Why is it every time I hear this shitstain-tan asshole go on about taking my country, all I can think of is the British of 1812 burning down the White House and a passing thought of "hang on now..."
So if you go to Washington,
Its buildings clean and nice
EDIT: Seriously, though, the last time a fascist regime had their capital burned it only made the fascists stronger. You can use the imagery of a burning White House to keep yourself motivated while you participate in the boycott of American products and services and engage in other activities to help the Canadian economy weather the upcoming storm, but actually trying to burn the place would just make things worse.
This should go without saying but this is Lemmy, after all.
Please do it, we need help.
Manufacturing consent
I am going to say this every comment.
Stop sending the US oil. Stop sending natural gas. Stop sending electricity. Stop sending steel and aluminum. Stop sending them rare earths. Stop sending them wood. Do it immediately. Do it now.
We will see who needs who.
Yes, this would cause economic pain in Canada. So will not doing it.
Everything above is in demand all over the world.
Frankly, every other county should attend a summit next month where we ALL agree to stop sending the US anything and stop buying anything from the US.
If America wants to isolate themselves, I say let’s go!!
If you completely block all those things you practically guarantee they invade us for "national security".
The double edged sword of international trade, we all sink and swim together. Last time the US had an economic recession, it was felt worldwide. The last time the US had a depression WW2 happened.
There's an old saying that when the USA sneezes, the world catches cold. What happens when it's got syphillis and starts fucking everybody?

How far off of "We have to liberate Americans in Canada from tyrannical French-Canadian rule" are we?
Trump next week: We need to invade Canada...they need help...they are forced to learn languages there, things they buy have a language on it nobody can learn.. Its terrible
American speakers will be protected
Eat glass, Nazi.
The United States will happily supply all the weapons our oldest ally, Canada, needs for this battle of survival against the tyrannical forces of the United States. Will you be paying with cash, credit, layaway, or mineral rights to all your natural resources?
Replace "Canada" with Sudetenland, and it's almost literally the same quote used by Hitler...
Basicllay he want an occupation under the desguise of a protectorate
Putin style
More subtle like how France ended up occupying Tunisia
I’m not expecting Trudeau to respond to stupid shit like this but he’s been pretty silent this week. I’m hoping that means he has some trade deals to announce.
The good news about global tariff threats is that it would be really easy to find allies that would match responding tariffs made against our exports or diverting required resources away from that orange fuck.
Harper came out to say that worst case if he was in Trudeau's position he would have just dealt with the bad economy for a few years until Trump gets replaced.
(Edit: my opinion from here) Introduce help measures like during COVID (some form of UBI) and regulations to prevent banks from seizing the property of those losing their job due to the tariffs and yeah we would end up with more debt as a country, but we would keep our sovereignty.
I'm sorry, Harper talked about UBI and banking regulations? The right honourable Stephen Harper? The one who had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his own caucus, to respond to the 2008 crisis with anything other than austerity?
That Harper?
Wow.
Priorities. If there's no longer a Canada, then he doesn't get to style himself "the Right Honourable" anymore.

If that stupid kid hadn't flinched we wouldn't be in the universe where Kirk and Spock go back and find a Nazi America.
Canada has underfunded its military for decades. Now that we have a powerful neighbour talking about anexing us, we really should start funding it more.
Yup, lets negotiate with France and Britain to let us have 5 of their nukes while we build up up our army and seek deeper integration with the future European army.

It just occurred to me that all the major world powers want to absorb everything else around them because we're actually just living in 1984 and this is the beginning of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia.
In danger from what? Moose, polar bears, climate change?
The president and commander in chief of the United States of America?
Much like Putin to Ukraine.
Don’t call it a Trade War, it’s a Stupid Economic Operation.
I am pretty close to the Canada border, and every day is bringing new curve balls that make it harder to tell if it would be safer to stay or go. 🙀
I mean it varies on the areas, safety from fascist takeovers is ranked from lowest to highest: blue states < Canada < Europe < Australia.
I don’t think Donald Trump would launch an invasion until after the election at the soonest as he is waiting to see if the republican friendly Pierre Poilievre gets elected with a majority government. I hope our fellow voters can see past the Canadian parallel of Viktor Yanukovych.
