I've always said that if you can't put either cheese or chocolate on something then it's not a food and you shouldn't eat it. I freaking love cheese curds. Nom nom nom...
I am. Three weeks from a knee replacement and going to the first resistance that I can. I’ve been calling those idiots in Washington everyday, even on painkillers. It’s been wild.
Since Canada isn't prone to violence or expansion, defence will mainly be through economical channels. Might need to allow American refugees, though, coz US is on the verge of loosing its "safe 3rd country" status.
We'll let in only the ones with RVs & open large camping grounds. It would be better than Gitmo.
Our housing situation would be much better with less flats being rented as AirBnB. The amount is now ridiculous in some neighbourhoods, which also raises rent for inhabitants.
I count myself as so lucky to have been in my place for 10 years, 3 1/2 for $805 a month, bout a 40 min walk to downtown Montreal. The going rate for an apartment like mine is at least $1200 and that's if you could find one!
I left my beautiful Le Plateau apt in 1995, coz the rent was going to be raised to 800$/month (5 1/2, heated). It was less expensive to buy a house & pay a mortgage. It's now an AirBnB: 1.5K$/week. There are many key boxes on doors, in Le Plateau now.
I don’t see a lot of editorials telling Trump to stfu about Canada. But I do see “what would it look like to have a 51st state”. So until you have the former, the US is our enemy.
@paleofuture.bsky.social Can you start a daily bit on impeachment? Even if it’s far-fetched, look at all the things they did that were improbable and talking about it everyday was a big part of strategy.
Let's be honest, we always thought it would be you folks coming to our aid from outside forces. Surreal that a few weeks changes that. Let's wait and see what happens. When it really falls apart (and it will) maybe we will pick up some real estate, but you'll have to embrace our ways.
There are 431 million of you, us 41 million are not liberating anyone. Liberate your own damn selves and clean this shit up before your nazi russian king decides to carpet bomb us and erect a stupid fking gold statue. Not our fking monkeys, circus or tent. Ffs.
You need to liberate yourself. Your allies are under attack by your country. We have our own issues, I would start by finding out who the 36% who didn’t vote and ask them what your plan is! They caused all of this.
It might just be me being optimistic, but I could not imagine the actual US population getting behind an outright war with Canada. The only people who have any ill-will towards CA are those who believe everything T says, and that is a VERY small number. T's threats against CA are 👇
so outlandish that most people here don't believe he's being serious. The regime does NOT want to find out what happens when those people wake the fuck up and realize he's not joking.
How can we liberate you when we have to FIGHT for ourselves against your f#ckin trump, musk et al? We are no longer allies, right? We are fighting for our own freedoms! YES, I may be 🇺🇸/🇨🇦 but i am fuming & frightened for Canadians. Why won’t the US STOP trump/musk???
"The Wawa Goose isn't dead...it's frozen...We're gonna thaw out the Goose, and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower, America? Well, multiply that by 15 million times...that's how pissed off the Goose's gonna be."
Thank you. I shall never visit Wawa. I'll tell Americans to go there and report back. "DO YOU SEE? DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS? DON'T MAKE US UNLEASH HIM!" Imagine we use him as a Trojan horse (goose?) push him over the border, and he's filled with geese. Beware of geese bearing gifts Yanks
Yes you have to use the extra "u" And it's Zed, not zee. You don't HAVE to like the ketchup chips, but at least try them, please. Americans are not ready to take us over, just give them 30 minutes in a room with Jean Chretien.
Ahem…I don’t really watch hockey. I’m a bad Canadian that way. Shhh….oh and you’ll have to get used to metric. Although you’ll find many Canadians use feet and inches for height and lbs for weight. We also tend to describe distances in terms of how long it takes to drive there.
I really believe if the government tries to order an attack on Canada they will end up with a total insurgency of Americans readily fighting for Canada.
I believe the U.S. will destroy Canada and kill hundreds of thousands of Canadians. They will pillage our natural resources, relegate us to second class citizen status, collapse our social programs, and create a resistance that will never stop until the U.S. is destroyed. 🇨🇦
That is one of the most fear-mongering takes I've seen today.
There is little appetite for real war amongst troops on either side of the border, an act of violence against Canada would have incredible international consequences, and the USA will devolve into civil war long before an armed incursion
With the recent removal of numerous high-level and widely respected military leaders, and the confirmation of a highly criticized new leader, from what I've heard and seen, there is a widening gap between loyalists and actual patriots
Well for one, my own experience in training with numerous American units during my time in the Canadian military. Second, the common sense that a vast number of Americans have friends or family in Canada. Third, reading about the current morale of American units, particularly given recent events
Good credentials, but times have changed in America. 15 years ago, I could never have predicted what's happening now. You should have a good understanding of the steps Trump is taking to undermine any military authority that does not bow to him (instead of the Constitution) JAG CORPS has been gutted
Assuming ignorance on the part of someone who disagrees with your position is a poor way to argue a point and only serves to demonstrate your willingness to make pronouncements on little or no evidence.
Exactly what are you basing your assessment of my understanding of Canadian history?
My grandfather was awarded the Victoria cross in WWII fighting the fascists and Nazi's in Italy. I studied Canadian history from both the French and English views.
Wasn't the rumored Crucified Soldier of WW1 supposedly Canadian? That myth drove those soldiers to do terrifying things in the name of avenging a fallen comrade.
Australia's government is currently doing this 🙈🙉🙊 in a blind panic. The opposition party thinks Trump is a "big thinker and a deal maker" with a "genuine desire to see peace and stability".
This is a WWII style poster. The US only joined after they felt a direct threat. Canada had already lost thousands of men in battle to protect our European allies.
I wouldn't count on it, Trump is very clearly doing everything he can to hurt Canada into joining the US. This won't happen without a lot of bloodshed on both sides. With his threats towards our national security, it is clear the US (nation not all people) is now Canada's enemy.
Spread the word. Last I heard #DonaldTrump is not letting media in the White House. We might not know if American GIs are unleashed in Canada until they cross the border.
I believe you would have to change far too much about yourselves and your way of life for it to work.
(Racism, lack of education beyond your own borders, guns, no Humility, homophobia, healthcare, environmental responsibility, etc..)
Not being rude or personal - just very generally as a nation, these are facts…….the evidence is in fact the election, and your current situation. I’m just saying we are very different, how much we’re the same. “Sorry” if I offended you, not my intent, just trying to be real.
You might reflect , how your country has done nothing but aggressively insult, threaten, and is admitting to pursuing an economic agenda against my country, that could cripple us (and your own country in the process) for weeks. What did you expect?
Canada from the north. Mexico from the south. Europe from the east. Australia, New Zealand, and Japan from the west. Omaha beach is nothing compared to my fantasy.
They will, but we will kill a lot of Americans in a pointless war. How? Partner with China. They would love to arm us to kill as many Americans as possible. Then when Russia sides with China nobody will help America in WW3. This isn’t a threat, it’s a fact.
American soldiers will not raise arms against Canadian soldiers and vice versa they will throw their guns down and run across the borders and embrace each other.
This is the best case scenario but I understand the more likely scenario. We’re just going to continue our slide into fascism. What an unnecessary waste of a country.
My best case scenario: California says they’re out and they flex the agricultural and economic muscles they have to pull the military to their side.
Cascadia joins them as a state and operate a free and open border with BC.
From Miramar and Pendleton to JBLM and Bangor, it would be a powerhouse.
This is a possibility, but please don’t support self fulfilling prophecy. Resist. Paraphrasing the Denmark PM, the heroes always win in the end. If the villain is still in charge, it’s not the end.
Trump is almost 80, doesn’t exercise, and lives on KFC and McDonald’s. He’s not going to live forever, and I'm not convinced that his obscene cult of personality is transferable. It’s not much hope, but it’s all I’ve got right now.
the work of Authoritarian capture is not being done by Trump.
it's a failure of imagination to see this as a project to entrench Trump in power, and not entrench an authoritarian regime that ends up as MAGA fascism, oligarchy, or something else.

But as long as they’re working within the shell of what used to be a democratic republic, someone has to be president. The pesky natural born citizen clause blocks Musk. It’s a personality cult; they can’t just plug in any random sociopath.
The moment I realized we were never going back: when Trump started tweeting about invading Canada I hesitated about whether I should make a “joke” about being on Canada’s side. It was still just a joke to so many people but it felt like a turning point. The end of the U.S. as a liberal democracy.
For me it was when Kamala conceded the election in about 5 seconds. I was like, “wait… didn’t those fascists just spend the last 4 years fighting an election result and you’re going to just “good game” them and hand over the keys to someone YOU YOURSELF called a fascist?!”
And our candidate, who knew exactly how crooked the orange menace is, as well as how vulnerable our elections are, didn't pay for for a recount or audit in a single swing state?!
Something changed when Trudeau and folks came back from the visit to Mar A Lago during the transition. Like they saw and heard the unimaginable down there and they had a sense of what was coming.
No 🇨🇦 wants gun violence, no insurance, Christian idiocracy & the whoring out of our woman, while history is rewritten. Banning abortion, siding with 🇷🇺 , abandoning 🇺🇦. The second civil war will start if the 🇺🇸 don’t remove Trump or this ends with America splitting apart. US military, YOU SERVE NAZI’s!
Canadians would really really like to see Americans actually stand up for their own democracy and in the face of all this nonsense and have no idea why that hasn’t happened in any organized way yet 🤷🏼♂️ I’m aware this is somewhat in jest, but America fixes America get on it while you can…
They have all these slogans like home of the BRAVE, land of the free...
Well... let's see them be brave within their own borders for once, they love to bully countries around the world, show how STRONG they are, well.. let's see it at home!
We’re trying to do what is legally available to us without destroying our fragile democracy. Unfortunately, I fear we may be headed toward a civil war. I think this may come to a head when there is a massive protest and he trying to make the military kill protesters, as he has repeatedly threatened
Yes that sounds like what he’s waiting for. He is waiting for the first the moment to use our military abd local law enforcement against us. We must fight. It will be our last hope to keep our country
Unfortunately I think you are right on the money. Right now at least judges seem to be smacking down DOGE. But he will ignore the courts. It’s easy for me to say, but marches, general strike. You hold the power. Theyyjust looking for their Reichstag fire anyway, then martial law

We need to fix our housing situation right now, unless the Yankees have tiny homes or RV's.

The last thing we need is a hoard of Americans.
America is at the beginning of a very dark journey and I fear that violence is all but inevitable.
And no doubt Canada will get dragged into the quagmire.
We do not have the military.
...so, yeah, that's probably what we would be.

I can even get used to spelling it "flavoured" or "Uflavorude", "Flouride"(?)...I'll figure it out.
God save the...what is it now? Back to King? Duke? Duck. Is it a Mighty Duck? I might be too American for Canada.
These terms are acceptable.
I'm definitely going to mess up the Zed thing. Which reminds me, they are NOW "zeh-bruhz" instead of "Zee-brahz".
Luckily, I CAN play hockey. Barely.
Ok, it's pretty sad and mostly uncoordinated, but still better than a billionaire dancing. Less twitchy.
I can do this.
For the water fowl!!!!!!
Just never ask me to explain the icing rule. I still don't get it.
