The hilariously terrible thing is that the local news is framing the resignation as positive and the end of Trump trolling us. They have literally learned nothing.
tRump's capacity to say stupid sh** demonstrating his unending ignorance of anything beyond his arm's length never ceases to amaze. That a slight majority of Americans decided he's their man will be a never-ending source of disgust for the rest of the world, and profound embarrassment for you all.
Canadian healthcare: imperfect but protective. No bankruptcies from medical emergencies. Focus on illness prevention and health promotion. Why opt for the American system’s complexities and financial risks?
Aaron-this data mule activity. The post is bullshit-we have balanced trade with USA. Trudeau has been Prime Minister for 10 years-he is loosing his personal popularity for awhile BUT Canadians are not interested in losing universal health care and jumping into trump era daily drama
I am a Canadian. Such disrespect for my country, a long time ally. And America chose this albeit barely and it will pay a price for this incredible choice as will the rest of the free world unfortunately.
Thank you. We value our ties with America and we must respect and appreciate each other. It is unfortunate that it is impossible to respect the incoming president for his ill-considered words and actions and dangerous agenda.
Over 130 Canadians died helping America in Afghanistan. When Trump says shit like this he dishonors their sacrifice and ensures it will be the last time we come to your aid.
I think the sentiment was said once on that other platform by that other person called musk he should go F himself in the you know where.So no effing way don’t want your healthcare. I don’t want your politics. Don’t want any of it.
Besides, it is intentionally demeaning (Trump? - no, how could that be?) to claim it would be the 51st state. It would comprise the 51-60th states, plus three territories. Not that it would remotely ever happen.
I the US merged with Canada it would be the blue states leaving to join Canada and become the greatest nation. Westocast, Illinois, New York... We would outnumber the leftovers called Maga.
Personally, I like the idea of a North American union similar to the EU. Both Mexico and Canada and the United States benefit from trade and economic cooperation. Oh, that’s really left at the moment is just to finalize it in an official organization.
I think even presuming sensible governments there's too much disparity in economic power for this ever to work. In Europe there are times when German dominance of economic policy becomes problematic. Far more of a mismatch in North America.
I can't stop laughing. Canada knows Trump will be the one to invite the Putin to move into Canada.
He sounds like a twelve year old trying to convince his younger sibling to take a shiny penny in exchange for giving Trump a ten dollar bill. What a con
I thought this eight years ago, but let's be honest - his brain is simply just pudding now. He is not playing 12-dimensional chess. I don't think he could even play checkers at this point.
Whooshing right past "inspiring Canada to join the EFTA" and rapidly creeping up on "inspiring Canada to lease a coastal island in BC to China for a military base"
Fuck him and the pig he rode in on. The majority of Canadians who are not Maple Maga are NOT interested in joining the US, and we will fight to remain the country that lives above a meth lab.
And they could get rid of that pesky politeness that they are cursed with. Lots of land to rape and pillage. Oh, and dump that health care! Who needs it! We also have PLENTY of guns to share with each and every one of them.
People need to understand it’s not just the US that it’s completely screwed, it’s the whole world. How our constituents could be so gullible to foreign propaganda is disturbing. The immigrants that are destroying this country are SouAfric, Australian and Russian.
I realize these are the ravings of a madman, but has someone there not thought this “Canada as a 51st state” through… just a little? Seriously, how do you think the bulk of Canada would vote (with EC) when Universal healthcare, Gun idolatry and government in your bedroom/Drs office is on the line?
So a state slightly bigger than California would get about the same ec votes (would have to redistribute, yada yada). I'm sure as soon as someone explains basic math and the fact Canada hates him, he will stfu on this issue
No many people in Canada DO NOT want to join your shitshow. Try to learn what "trade" means. It's not literal. Find your country on this list, Cantelope head.
Do Republicans realize if Canada merged with the US, they'll just be mass importing Democratic Party voters, which is the exact thing they currently fearmonger about
This reminds me of when Germany wanted to take over Austria but allowed Austria to vote and the vote wasn't going to go Germany's way so he just marched in tanks and took over anyway.
As I keep saying, please don’t make me go to war against the U.S. I will, but I’ll be pissy the whole time and will be breaking out the Geneva suggestions list.
I once attended a financial planner’s conference where a conservative economist suggested the US should for a union with Canada and Mexico ala the EU and allow people to freely work in the allied countries.
Trump is a reflection of the current popular vote ignorance and lack of understanding of consequences that have long term implications. They lie to themselves to help them deal with things they don’t understand. It’s so much easier this way than making the effort to learn. Headlines are an easy
Read. So what if it doesn’t actually tell you what the story really is. We are all living in a world where an elevator pitch is about how long an average American’s attention span has to tell fact or fiction. And the wealthy, buy the headlines to point your attention to something else.
Read yesterday that Canada, being a Commonwealth country with Charles as the head of state ,would need a change to the Constitution
Somehow can't see THAT happening
OTOH - nothing stopping PP from selling the water & power & trees & everything else not nailed down for suitcases full of US greenbacks
I think the best would be 18 - you forgot that the dingaling in alberta WANTS to join the Us - as soon as she gets what she thinks is her windfall share of CPP so she'll be able to afford the version of health care in Florida after she joined deSanctimonious
Hmmm. A lot here, but I'll just say that having to pay massive amounts for health care insurance would be a huge "tax" hit on Canadians. Alternatively, Canadians would lose the health care they have now. American imperialism to steal resources and impoverish the colony. Openly armed, not open arms.🇨🇦
Anger over inflation & gas tax has caused a big right shift in Canadian politics. The next election will probably be a big victory for the Conservative party who are now getting their ideas from Jordan Peterson and other far right influencers. I don't see our healthcare system surviving the decade.
Not of Temu Trump and his party of crooks and liars gets in. It will be Grant Devine and Saskatchewan all over again. Jordan Peterson has defected to the US. Now for the Queen of Canada.......
It's in your hands. Let me give you an advice; Don't do what Americans did electing a parasite who only cares about himself. People like that forget all their promises when they're in power. All they want is your vote. That's it! Then they'll give the middle finger. I just hope Canadians are smarter
We already have one. We have been fighting against Trump for 8 years because we knew it would eventually come here. We can use some help. Try telling Maple MAGA exactly what will happen, from a US perspective. They're using exactly the same playbook.
The “trade deficit” is surely indicative of the fact that Canada sells more stuff to the USA than the other way round.
So, it’s not "subsidies", it’s just poor economic performance from the USA when compared to Canada? 🇨🇦
Exactly! We could turn off the oil which gets sent to Texas for refining (approx. 123$B per year). That would either shut down some refineries or severely reduce their output. Resulting in reductions in staff in red state Texas. Trumpenomics would hit MAGA where it hurts.
Nothing like going from a great country to be added to a country barely hanging on! So he is using his failed tariff plan on Canada so the only way out is make it American? Idiot
As a Canadian I can say with certainty Trump is wrong. There has always been a small minority of Canadians who want to be American but they usually move to the states and sometimes move back to Canada after experiencing living in America. Reality vs. what they see on TV and social media.
Hi Tim, how are you? I work for BBC World Service Radio in London. We are trying to speak to Canadians about President-elect Trump's comments about Canada. Can we talk more about this, please? Thank you
Not one person that I know(all of them including me, live in 🇨🇦), have ever said, they want to be the 51st state. All distraction and deflection from that 💩🤡, on a very memorable day for him and his cult
So on the 4-year mark that a POS tried to stage a takeover, we have the most useless members in Congress on both sides I know it is the 119th now, but nonetheless they are eagerly certifying that a felon will be POTUS. Meanwhile, dipshit is provoking our neighbors to the north this is such a JOKE...

Mitts off Canada 🍊🇷🇺MAGA imperialists.
You guys would be really outnumbered by Yankees and Californians.
So would need a new name. Like Nation McNationState
The remainder of what once was the US is now Dumbfuckistan.
Minnesota should become the 11th province.
Just great...
😂🤣
Forgive the MAGA Canadians, for they know not what they do.
It’s no different then then US economy dominating North America.
The voices in his head don’t count also if anything the West East Coast of the United States should become part of Canada.
Not in the next.
Why he's not gloating over is "winning"?
He sounds like a twelve year old trying to convince his younger sibling to take a shiny penny in exchange for giving Trump a ten dollar bill. What a con
Today I’m thinking it’s might be an attempt to distract everyone from remembering the failed maga insurrection.
T thinks QEII was a soulmate and WV’s onboard. (But he’s not Andrew.)
Heads up SAfrica, Australia, India, fascistic eugenicists arising.
Unserious.
So so true!
That’s a great way to get people from the 51 State to pay for all the Social Security that all the billionaires stopped paying.
Also, to all the Baby Boomers who have retired. Hurry up and die already.
I don’t want to work until I’m 70.’

But the syndicated media is beyond that now.

Tell that to Puerto Rico.
Or ask the Czechs in the Nazi-occupied Sudetenland how that worked out for them.
