Oh, I'm sorry.

The country that says they want to annex us, declared economic warfare, is trying to force shared industries to leave, and have thrown unlawful tariffs at us over fake emergencies is perfectly fine.

We're all just over-reacting! Maybe if we all just get on our knees and they'll be nice to us again!

Don't forget trying to steal half a bridge

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 7 points 6 days ago

The bridge was already half owned. Built by Canada and offered with 50/50 shared ownership. Trumps tantrum was smoke and mirrors.

We already gave them half the bridge so it would get built. 

Their corrupt billionaire class is blocking it because they won’t get the tolls from this one. 

The US is blatantly corrupt and they’re losing out on economic value of it doesn’t line the right pockets. That’s how empires die.

please keep throwing anti-american hissy fits.

[-] DarylInCanada@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 days ago

Law of Unintended Consequences - More federal PC members are going over to the Liberals because they can n ot tolerate what is happening in their own party. Soon Carney will have his majority.

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe PP can chase enough of his members away that we won't have to have an election in the spring. Not a big fan of floor crossings either way, without a mandate from their constituents.

[-] DarylInCanada@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I really good suggestion that was made was that they have to serve their term out as an independent until the next election.

Conservatives are a joke. Show us some policy ideas for once.

[-] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

How about warrior culture and fighting wokeness? Is that a policy?

[-] Binturong@lemmy.ca 29 points 6 days ago
[-] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago

He is a back bencher who wants to be the conservative leader.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

He is a back bencher who wants to be the ~~conservative leader~~ 51st state governor.

[-] Binturong@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

That's not conservatism anymore. What would you name a political party that's entirely centered on inviting a foreign, even adversarial neighbour to seize control of the country, either economically or in its entirety? Genuinely asking.

Canada is harming its relationship with the US?

Are we talking about the Americans electing a criminal felon as President, who appears to be facing allegations of decades long pedophilia, and seems to be part of a global scale honey pot and blackmail operation that targeted people around the world? Did that damage trust and credibility? And did we mention the Americans who seem involved in the debauchery, death, trauma, and abuse from trafficking vulnerable underaged girls around the world for this operation for decades are also not facing any justice? Instead, they all appear to be closing ranks and maintaining an iron curtain of silence?

Oh, and world leaders and dignitaries have to grapple with the knowledge that these same Americans remain in positions of power and gatekeeping positions throughout the US government system?

Plus this same US President is extracting wealth for his billionaire friends? Wealth that the Western powers created a rules based order together to generate?

By the time the Americans manage to uncollapse their justice system, and maybe codify some laws to avoid the total collapse of their society in their legislative branch, it will be decades.

Canada is not throwing a hissy fit, we're literally working around a gasping goon where an ally should be, and we're trying to keep the lights and the heat on for the rest of us until this blows over.

[-] HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth 24 points 1 week ago

He is J.D Vance school buddy so no surprise there

[-] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

They dated the same couch at most I bet you.

[-] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Awwww. Pack your bags then you little bitch. Off to fascism with you.

[-] Aknifeguy@piefed.ca 23 points 1 week ago

Vote him out next election. Canada doesn't need fascist boot lickers.

[-] megopie@beehaw.org 12 points 6 days ago

As an American, no it fucking ain’t. Keep boycotting American shit please. Keep being a problem. I beg you.

This situation is dumb, and the only way certain compatriots will get that through their inch thick steel skulls is pressure from all sides.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

With Trump no matter how much you give him he’ll ask for more, so no, there’s no reasonable bargaining position. As soon as you capitulate or give they’ll demand more and call you weak.

[-] megopie@beehaw.org 3 points 6 days ago

And the more you blue ball him and deny him what he wants, the weaker his domestic position gets and the less he’s able to lash out.

So don’t fucking bargain with him, don’t make deals, tell him to suck wind. The more people doing this the more he is diminished as a threat to everyone involved.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

If the world hadn't thrown a big hissy fit about the Nazis I'm sure they could have been talked down. After all, they just had different opinions.

Bought and paid for traitor says what?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Jivani is a US conspirator and traitor.

He only got a Yale degree because of EDI, and he supports a government that would deport his whole family.

He interned with Cory Booker, Democrat, and was a Liberal party member until 2020. That got him what he needed, then....

Uncle Thomas here moved into the big house with his buddy JD Vance and suddenly got bleached. He was funded via the US Atlas Foundation as one of the right-wing "think tanks" employed him in Canada.

He thinks Jordan Peterson is a positive inspiration for young males to counter extremism. He has praised Kanye West and Danielle Smith. He believes in critical race theory. On October 3, 2025, Jivani announced the launch of a Restore the North Campus Tour which are modelled after the Turning Point USA campus tours .

He ran a charity with Vance in Ohio. Our Ohio Renewal, which turned out to be a complete scam with the opiod industry.

He should be in jail for Our Ohio Renewal, but idiot Oshawa voted for him because he had a blue lawn sign.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

USA only gonna beat you up harder if you go back to him. Eventually he'll kill you. Lots of abused spouses see this.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Jamil Jivani is the MP's name.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Dude. The Idiot threatened to annex you.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

His constituents need to have this blasted 24/7 at the next election.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

He won by 4.3% in the last election. His riding is now a tossup.

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

Just lie down and take it, ssh, sssssshhhh. It'll all be over quick if you don't fight it.

[-] L_N@piefed.ca 7 points 6 days ago

Everybody knows Jivani is a traitor; he should be kicked out.

[-] osanna@thebrainbin.org 10 points 1 week ago

pretty sure dumpy harmed the relationship by repeatedly saying that canada will be the 51st state. Yeah?

[-] dermanus@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

I can't wait to see if Poilievre goes after him for breaking ranks. The pro US wing of the party isn't huge, but it isn't small enough that they can alienate them completely.

What riding is this guy in? I think we should show him what a real hissy-fit looks like.

Why are some Conservatives obtuse

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Because those conservatives are fascists.

[-] fourish@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Are these the Alberta traitorous form of conservative or is there another type?

[-] Routhinator@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Good. Keep it up fellow Canucks
