Let’s be 💯 clear. Trump absolutely wants our water, energy, forests, Arctic, farmland, vast size. We’re an amazing real estate deal to him. What he doesn’t get is that the majority of Canadians are repulsed at idea being the 51st state. Time to stand up for 🇨🇦 & build our great nation! #TeamCanada - ThreadSky

Repulsed is the correct term here. Right thinking Canadians who have watched what is going on down there are truly repulsed. Watching a wild west, cowboy ethos roiling and tearing it down, has been terrifying. I want none of that!

& it’s time to educate the western separatists who believe they’ll be better off as 51. Alberta & Sask group spread the most malicious propaganda. we need Premiers that speak to them & correct the errors of their thinking.

i dont think premiers are going to save us in this case.

True. I’d would be nice if they actually stood up for Canada & their provinces though. Sad leadership we have

I'm often embarrassed at being an American--when we have someone like djt in power--for the 2nd time (as if the 1st wasn't enough?). It is a total embarrassment to see this clown view everything from a monetary side, as something to benefit him and his grifting family.

petesky.bsky.social•18 days ago

Whatever else they are aspiring to I think it's clear FOTUS and wealthy patron pals will keep threatening chaos and sewing discord simply to short the markets to make some quick cash as we saw them do this week, and I expect we will see plenty more of the same.

Please put fleas in the right ears to ban the foreign-owned media trying to poison us against our own country & to properly fund & expand the CBC, the central forum of Canadian culture & preserver of our collective history.

We have a fifth column inside this great nation, including some senior elected officials. We need to root them out before we end up as this century’s version of 1938 Austria or Czechoslovakia, sold out from within. Catherine, please implore your contacts inside the GOC to act.

The NWT started as a massive, ungovernable and uncivilized region, which slowly was divided into units with more political freedom.
I would be willing to let the USA apply to become Canada’s 4th territory. Of course it will cost us a fortune to civilize.

It’s ok. He just forgot about Canada and now wants to “relocate” 2 million Palestinians so Jared can build a seaside development in Gaza.

And right up to a couple weeks ago, Doug Ford was going to hand it all over.

He may yet.

Let's not fall for his "Captain Canada" schtick anymore, OK?

Agreed. We are not Poland or Czechoslovakia. We must begin to unwind ourselves from the US security alliance.

What’s up with Trump’s sudden interest in Greenland, Canada, and now South Africa, you ask? And who put this idea in his head? Elon, of course! Rare earth elements are crucial to his ambitions.

Even Ukraine is not immune from their greed.

captncanada.bsky.social•18 days ago

I’m amazed at how many US folks have been brainwashed by their belief in “American exceptionalism”. No, not “everyone wanted to be American” even before it was overrun by a fascist dictatorship, let alone now. US should ask itself if it wants to start its own version of Russia’s war with Ukraine.

carmafiera.bsky.social•18 days ago

Exactly. American exceptionalism is cult like. Adopted unthinkingly, used to demean and attack others, promoted by avaricious narcissistic leaders. It lends “permission” to do terrible unethical deeds.

captncanada.bsky.social•18 days ago

Ironic considering that they *really* didn’t enjoy being a British colony 😆 But I guess you’d have to read history to even get it.

missymouse905.bsky.social•18 days ago

So based on the orange cancerous felon/rapist the US has no need for Cdn oil, softwood, aluminum, rare earth minerals, potash, nitrogen, electricity, zinc, and natural gas. OK, let's start by just turning off the oil period. Arrest Smith and her cabinet for treason and just turn the spigot off.

missymouse905.bsky.social•18 days ago

That gives the orange buffoon about 2 weeks to come up with 3.5 million barrels of oil before the US economy tanks. For the uneducated, the US refineries NEED Canadian heavy crude to function. Without that crude, the refineries will have to shut down. Yes, they can be reconfigured to handle

missymouse905.bsky.social•18 days ago

lighter grads but that will come at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and a year or so of work. Now the magic question is what will Americans do for gas while waiting for the conversion? What happens when that pain equals an additional $140 per week to fill your F150? BTW, China would be

missymouse905.bsky.social•18 days ago

happy to take that oil at a much higher price. Let’s use Trump’s tariff scam against him. Starting March 1st let’s embargo potash & nitrogen or add a 50% exit tariff. Let’s make the motivation to release it Trump coming up with and implementing a provable plan to stop the flow of illegal guns

missymouse905.bsky.social•18 days ago

into Canada & Mexico. This would dramatically impact every Red State and would in fact wipe out entirely their spring planting. No potash and nitrogen, no fertilizer. Let’s show Trump and his cronies that in fact, they are terribly vulnerable to bad things happening because of their ignorance and

missymouse905.bsky.social•18 days ago

self-absorption. They are not the greatest country in the world and never have been. Let's talk about the softwood lumber. Again the idiot Trump has no clue about what he is talking about. 1st of all the US does have lots of trees but on the whole, they are unsuitable for building. They lack the

As if the tariff threat was a huge surprise!?! He did it to us in his first term and spoke often of tariffs during the 2nd campaign. For Trump, it’s a means to maintain revenue while giving tax breaks to his billionaire buddies. Ford is not too smart if he did not see the real threat!

persister.bsky.social•18 days ago

We must first get rid of Doug Ford in Ontario. All his 🐂💩 tough talk and he immediately reneged on restrictions, is proceeding with the Starlink contract.

Doug is selling Ontario and the only thing we can do is VOTE.

3 days of advance voting, or reg to vote by mail, or vote on Feb 27.

You can also vote every single day until Feb 26th at 6pm at your local elections office. Just bring ID.

Stephen Harper is to blame for that. Bottom line the Cons and republicans don’t care about people or nature or right vs wrong. They care about making themselves more and more money by raping our beautiful earth. The hard right and the rich must be stopped globally. It’s almost too late.

Of course he wants our resources. Time to play him? How about instead of the 51st state, we suggest we might consider joining as the 51st thru 62nd states. Each province becomes a state and the territories form a new state. Over 50 new congressmen, and 24 new senators with 90% being democrats.

hobbitlover.bsky.social•18 days ago

Everyone is acting like we dodged a bullet with the Tariffs but Trump has a full magazine pointed at us, possibly forever. Even if the tariffs don't come in on 30 days, he's created a huge amount of uncertainty for businesses who trade on both sides of the border.

hobbitlover.bsky.social•18 days ago

Canada needs to become a nuclear power. We can't rely on America anymore and the more irrational they get, the bolder Russia gets in response. They're already claiming the Arctic, along with China for some reason.

hobbitlover.bsky.social•18 days ago

I'm just saying I'd sleep better knowing we had some MAD to counter the madness.
