Carney reportedly told Trump during a meeting in Washington that Canada is not interested in becoming a U.S. state.

There's fucking videos of it

Stop bringing things like facts or the truth into this!

-Seemingly most modern media in regards to American republicans.

Carney said his government is working quickly to join the EU-led “ReArm Europe” program, which plans to invest $1.25 trillion in defense over the next five years.

“Seventy-five cents of every dollar spent on defense goes to the United States. That’s not a smart move,” Carney told host David Cochrane.

Trump said Canada could join the system for free if it becomes the 51st U.S. state. If not, it would cost $61 billion.

And Canada said: "No." 🤭

“They are considering the offer!” Trump claimed.

Prize BS

They told him "Don't call us, we'll call you" and he interpreted it as them considering it.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago

I mean they are likely considering the offer. Considering it a bad joke maybe, or an insult, or most likely both.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Your offer has been considered, and it has been found... wanting. Do not force us to consider it further, or we may find even more things we dislike about it.

[-] [email protected] 124 points 1 day ago

Good. Get us entirely separated from the states. We need to get off that sinking ship as fast as possible.

Save yourselves first. Always put on your oxygen mask before turning to help someone else to put on theirs. Sigh, I wish it wasn't the case that this was necessary. And it is.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

After you guys get safe can you help us with our oxygen masks please? Apparently 48% of us can't figure it out.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

We'll help as much as we can, but despite all appearances we're still just one little guy here, and you guys apparently have a lot of work that needs to get done. We aren't gonna be able to do it all by ourselves. Start helping your own neighbors figure their shit out and don't wait for us to come to your rescue. We'll try, but can't make any promises when shit starts getting real like this.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I don’t really know how you expect a country with a fraction of your population to be able to help you, and I don’t really understand how eager you think a country your country is threatening to invade and annex is going to be to help you

[-] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

For me, it's like this. Do you know people in the same way you know a country? I'm not talking to Canada, I'm talking to Canadians. And our country, USA is a lot effed up right now. And that's gonna harm a lot more USians than it will help, I fear. I know a few Canadians, and would do a lot for any of them because of who I know them to be on a personal, not national basis. Doubtless selection bias of some sort going on to be sure. Maybe you know some people of a different nationality, ethnicity, etc, and you know they are decent people even tho' it might be the case that their government is absolute shite. And I didn't ask for anything, Said 'save yourselves first' and gave a metaphor for why that is important, but for the moment I don't really need an o2 mask, it's a metaphor.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago

USA here, good for you guys. Fuck us.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

EU here, Trump and his actions are a gift to the world.
Not so much for the US, then again that's all on you (with little exceptions)

The only thing on us is dope. What do you think the tolerance choice to be ignorant and fueled that hollywood of thievery conducted by it's own mass media farm like bollywood...in America. Better than anything America because genuine is the first eroded edit to publishing and showing.

There's even an offworldly fanatic of "Nu Delhi" acting, like they're the actual, and then conducting the whole series of episodes and giving their audience more character and speaking more candid than anyone in America has ever heard.

The expression to the masses under any name cannot carry the level of content needed. We have subjected the ability to speak from near unlimited subject. There were standards of expression standing under that barred and limited the level of tolerance to words to higher audiences. We've broken the big ones but the subtle cannot but hide.

The origin of the work done for Matter's Talisman barriers is not acceptable by any sane and aware individual. Mostly because it's a charade of the seperation of the material attatchment. This occured having eroded all scripts & removing the naming of the responsible for attatched matter for the word. Written as a signature of said material's attatchment being bound the given script so signed by witnesses and claims to validate the statements.

All value scripts have removed all actual value and considered present from the hands of those whole didn't note that the changes invalidated any true value anywhere but the move of the chosen ignorant.

Nice trump just lost the US a trillion dollars!

Lol best part: clicking reject and pay just lets you see the content. No payment necessary

That would be amazing if it was easy. The EU is a political mess and adding more states would add stressful complexity. It's a peace time project and peace currently has a gun to it's head.

Welp, that's gonna be fun for NORAD... not to mention put a bit of a dent in the 'Golden Dome'... concept of a concept of a plan...

The only threat to Canada is the U.S.

It's like having an abusive partner, we're losing our friends and allies because we won't dump his ass.

Over a 5 year span and thats the total estimate for all of the EU. 5% Total GDP, 3.5% goes to military and 1.5% goes to others like cyber security

The "Defense Against the USA" treaty.

[-] [email protected] -4 points 22 hours ago

It doesn't matter, the companies will just procure weapons from the US and sell them to Europe anyways.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

And thats so easy because theres no way to tell the difference between US and European weapons. /s

[-] [email protected] 20 points 22 hours ago

I'm pretty sure rearm europe (or SAFE as I think they want to rename it) has the intent of spending with local defence companies, moving away from us spend which is why the US is so against it

[-] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Not good for the US protection racket.
And what they produce is crap at an extremely high price.
