Go back to school. Apparently you're unaware of the fact that allied nations worldwide are all taught global history & political propaganda techniques used by every dictators/authoritarian figures throughout history. How embarrassing for you that you actually posted this BS!
I'm a Canadian from Quebec and I never get mistaken for an American. I might get mistaken for French, but only in the US because they really don't know their shit.
I'm Cdn whose repeatedly been mistaken for American when travelling overseas due to similarities in accents but no Cdn ever views that as a compliment. We all immediately correct the person asking.
One thing I notice with Mark Carney's image is that his campaign team is giving him a sense of masculinity. This contrasts with Trudeau's feminist credentials.
NATO countries should’ve temporarily halted Visas from Russians for work, school or travel anywhere until they stopped bombing Ukraine. Stop all flights into or out of Russia unless it was a humanitarian need & military plane.
The USA should have travel restrictions to NATO countries now too.
TY for seeing the rage and terror we Canadians are feeling right now. You have the biggest military in the world and 10 times our population. Many Canadians are having trouble sleeping, and are experiencing chronic anxiety. Grateful that some (many?) USians are alert to the threat and speaking out.
It’s extremely scary and also unfathomable. I can see why Canada might see themselves as the next Ukraine. But most Americans would never support it. Even his supporters see this as jingoistic, bullying talk and not serious. (The problem is, his 35% of supporters are ignorant and enjoy bullying.)
This is an excellent question. I would expect us to vote them out or vote in a Congress that would impeach and remove. I do think a move like this would awaken even our catastrophically entertained electorate from their torpor.
However, that all presupposes we have free and fair elections. Big if.
I would find it hard to believe that the majority of American military service people would engage in military action against Canada. I think what you would see is American military people putting their weapons down and refusing to fight a war against Canada.
Never underestimate the effect of unrelenting propaganda and the purging within the US military (JAG and senior command, and replacing them with flunkies). I hope you’re right, but in the meantime, Canada needs to strengthen its other alliances and our military. Fast.
They should deny her entry. She is a foreign aggressor attempting to take over their country.
We Canadians need to be doing the same.
For us we could use that lovely library that straddles the border to meet. Stay in our own country, but negotiate face to face.
All are welcome If only we had room! 😂
I’m so sorry the maga minority are wreaking havoc on everything that made America great. 💔
Hoping that sanity will prevail and the national nightmare will end before too long.
It’s terrifying living here. I mean, so far hubby and I are fine, but I don’t think that will last. I’m a #journalism professor. He works remotely, full time. We’re both eligible for SS benefits but are waiting to get the highest monthly check.
Problem is, there’s a huge strategic calculus behind it.
Taking Canada and Greenland provides endless natural resources and builds a natural oceanic divide with the rest of the world.
Only need to isolate southern border (wall/troops whatever) and you have the Kingdom of America.
I don’t put any of that past him.
His narcissistic tendencies drive everything he does. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks taking the continent would place him firmly in the annals of history.
Canada's well aware of the fact that Trump's repeated talk about annexing Greenland, Panama & Canada has its foundations in Musk's maternal grandfather (a member & leader of Technocracy Inc.) who not only wanted to destroy democracy but merge NA + Greenland into a single nation called the Technate.
The reality is America could never win a war against Canada. We would have all of Europe sending troops and military equipment to defeat the Americans. It's also hard to believe that many American soldiers would even consider fighting against Canada.
I think most people are unaware of how incredibly resource rich Canada is. We try not to exploit all of it, and we sell to Americans at a steep discount so people think we have less than we do.
I think Americans are also unaware of how much we subsidize their gas and building costs.
I think this is permanent. Carney said today that we've recovered from the shock of betrayal but we can never forget the lesson.
For me that about sums it up. We got sucker punched when we should have had our guard up. We can't let that happen again.
I think so too. The reality is we have no incentives to switch back. We'd need wildly cheap prices and better quality to make that switch.
Already hearing from people that Egyptian oranges and Moroccan strawberries are so much better than Californian, etc. It's like we have GREAT new options.
Ya. So great. As we say up here…. Let’s gooooooooooo!,,, Thanks America for those that support our VERY talented and 1/10th the population of yours country. We stand on guard for our sovereignty and look forward to our upcoming election where Mark Carney will take the reins.
Elbows up. Save your money dear Canadian friends. Don’t spend your hard earned money in Hawaii. Take your vacation to any other area in Polynesia. And I hear the British Virgin Islands are nice too. See you in 4 years. Elbows up. Aloha
Most politicians doing "skits" are so freaking cringe. And certainly Carney here isn't gonna be getting an Oscar.... But, honestly, he did pretty good 😅👍
Just beautiful.
#Canadians ,
The ones who voted for the traitor are just like him, full of hatred, racism, xenophobia and are madly in love with Putin.
The rest stand with you, come rain or come shine.
Long live #Canada !
Bless their bony elbows! These two, stout as pickled saints, jab back at our tang-colored tyrant with nary a flinch, showing more spine than a whole Congress of jellyfish. May their joints never rust nor their spirits flag!
You know what’s so great about this? It’s NICE. No ugliness, hate, lies, sneers, contempt, whining, complaining, name calling or meanness. It’s just NICE.
I particularly liked the description of the Canadian seasons, Winter and Construction, that applies to every city in Canada! I live in Edmonton and Construction has already started.
Canada actually belongs to the Commonwealth of Nations, consisting of 54 countries, headed by King Charles III.
If Trump wants to join as an Associate as he said he wants to do he'll be back under a King again.
I bet he would be aiming at de-throning KCIII!
They can do both.
A single market of over 350 million customers is not to be dismissed.
Not all countries of the Commonwealth have King Charles III as head of state.
2.4 billion people in the CofN and the EU a useful ally.
KC III is President but Head of State of 15 as you say but some countries who weren't even colonised by Britain, Gabon, Togo, Mozambique and Rwanda have asked to join it for trading and other purposes. It's a powerful force
54 + last 2 = 56!
Happy Sunday beautiful people! Elbows, up! 🇨🇦❤️ Just want to warn everyone: @TheSamDude is a fake MAGA Propaganda account/bot clearly trying to interfere in the Canadian election. Please report, and be very careful what this person post. Thank you! 🇨🇦❤️
The whole "51st state" and "Canada only works as a state" are such demented, WTF ideas to even have... how are his enablers keeping straight faces and supporting him? He's clearly insane.
The wife and I are trans women in Tennessee. She's a professional skilled certified manual laborer, decent income for our dual person household. But the climate is unacceptable now. Could a Canadian neighbor lend some two cents on the immigration possibilities? May the True North stay free forever 🍁
I wrote to mine yesterday and again today when I saw that Amnesty International had created a petition. Who would ever have thought it would come to this?
Thank you so much for your work in that field. We have friends in Ontario doing the same, which is where we're hoping to be settled best case scenario. We'll keep it together until things come together. Much love to all our Northern neighbors ☀️🍁💛
No problem. Hope you find something. Feel free to ask if you get stuck. My husband immigrated a while back. He might have answers. He will be home later this week. Good luck!!
There is no pathway for trans people to immigrate to Canada. People are trying to claim refugee status but there hasn’t been a successful claim yet. The rationale is that there are other friendlier states to move to.
Right. We're anticipating for it to be a work visa, not refugee claim. 🤞🏻 She has nine years of experience in her field and puts her nose to the grind every single week day. Her coworkers and boss love her and would recommend her to anyone. As long as that can be acceptable, we're beyond happy.
Our trans identity is kind of subdued in the sense that it's not going to be the sole reason for immigrating. We just want to work hard where they could use us. Anything at all, and all with utmost gratitude. We just want peace in our lives and to follow the process wherever it ends.
"They say ... executive orders, including that the government will only recognize male and female genders ... , will undermine rights to such an extent that Canada should halt returning certain categories of asylum seekers to the U.S."
Bless you, thank you. We understand that it's quite a process, but we're willing to do literally anything for our human rights and basic dignity. We've been studying up on all aspects/history of the True North Strong & Free a lot since October `24 and honestly much of it brought tears of joy...
Such a steadfast country in the face of international tyrannical terror. Please know that we honor your history just as we honor the American abolitionist efforts and the 2STLGBQIA+ history of North America. Much love to all and long live Canada-America friendship no matter the despot down here ☀️
It is a soft-launch pre-campaign ad AND it’s also a comforting & smartly done ad that’s speaks to common things most 🇨🇦s care about & WANT to see from those trying to be elected.
The best ads should answer the Q “why should you vote for me” vs just saying “here’s why they’re worse!”
I hope we see more of this style of ads from all parties & candidates!
More of attracting voters TO something vs riling up fear, hatred & punching down on the vulnerable & making them the “villain” to scapegoat. We can do better & I hope we do!
💔 From NY State and I love Canada. I can relate to the 2 seasons, my kids watched Mr Dress up, we love hockey too, my favorite candies are Mint Aero bars and Coffee Crisp, favorite dessert is Butter tarts, I know what elbows up means, and I can sing the song! Canada Strong! 🇨🇦

He wouldn’t be the only one he’d have to deport. We have many in the film, music, tv, writing, entertainment fields living and working there. Deporting all of them would pretty much cripple those fields.
I'm a fan of your honest and kind comment. There are always people who can laugh at a comedian, but liking a person for who they are is the truest reward.
Well Canadians have never sold weapons to both sides for a few years first. Of course we still lead the free world. Who else defends others like Europe, and article 5 invoking america, selflessly?
Canadian PM Carney has formed an alliance w/ the UK, France, Australia and the EU. Carney has filled the leadership void & is now the de facto leader of the US Opposition to Trump. The Canadian alliance has nukes. The Canadian flag is the symbol for the Opposition & a signal we will fight w/ them.
Although I love Canada's recent rush of patriotism and defence against Trump, Carney is a right-wing conservative, who has already abolished the Ministries of Women, Diversity, and Youth. He is stealing promises from Poilievre, our own mini-Trump. This guy is NOT the savior of Canada.
Go read about Carney, and watch what he is already doing. The guy was Head of the Bank of England ffs. He was spearholding the destruction of the middle class in the UK for almost the last decade.
He's the best option and I don't think he's going to let us down under the circumstances. He's got allies all over the world and what does PP or JS have? Nada.
PP is out of the question for sure. Appointing a far-right economic banker as head of your country in one of the most intense inflation crisis of the last 100 years is just a terrible move. People will get even poorer, rich will get richer. Not merging with the US, and then proceed to copy them. Lol
Disinfo. The Department of Women and Gender Equality still exists. Minister Guibeault is responsible for the portfolio. PM Carney has not rolled back equality protections, and is on record supporting affordable daycare and other social programs. Signed, a feminist.
There isn't a dedicated department for it anymore. Everything that could be related to DEI has been essentially removed. Everyone working in organisations defending those issues have been vocal about the consequences of these actions: it will lack proper funding, and slowly be forgotten.
This is simply incorrect. The women’s machinery has not been disabled. Minister Guibeault, along with Parl Sec’y Hefner, retains responsibility for the WAGE portfolio, which remains fully funded and operational. CRIAW is great, but they’re wrong on this matter.
To me, this means that the Department doesn't exist anymore, and they fused two of them into one, with Guilbeault being responsible for both. Again, I think the consequences of that are way much dire than what you think. And dozens of associations think so too.
They did not fuse the department. Min Guibeault is responsible for both WAGE and Culture, in an interim Cabinet appointed to keep the lights on during the election. This whole line of argument is an extreme over-reaction, and rather silly. I’ll begin worrying if the department is defunded.
It might be misunderstanding, but this is from CBC: "Carney gave Steven Guilbeault an expanded cabinet role called "Canadian culture and identity, Parks Canada and Quebec lieutenant." The Prime Minister's Office says his portfolio includes women and gender equality along with official languages. "
On WAGE’s website you’ll see Min Guibeault listed as the minister responsible, along with Parl Sec’y Hefner specifically responsible for Women’s and Gender Affairs. This is very common when portfolios are bundled together. It’s a slim interim Cabinet to keep the lights on during the election.
We love American visitors. As long as you don’t have a Trump bumper sticker, you’re good. Those with the sticker will likely visit Canadian Tire for a new set of tires or a body shop. Either way it generates revenue for Canada.

Alas, U.S. Congresspeople cannot be recalled. They must resign or be kicked out of Congress by colleagues or pass away, or be voted out--or the entire Congress and SCOTUS can be abolished by America's Dictator.
However, state officials (including State Congresspeople) CAN be recalled, or voted out.
Time to completely boycott America until they see sense. Personally, I'm done with them. I've complete and total solidarity with my Canadian brothers ❤️

Is it better with this administration right now?
They self destruct America.
Turned out they HAD been working on exchange in Quebec most of the year and now we’re driving cross country before their visa ended.
I would argue being Feminist IS masculine
VERY good...I needed that!
👍😁👏
The USA should have travel restrictions to NATO countries now too.
Brilliant. Clever. 💯 Canadian.
look at that crowd. you think any of them are gonna ‘pick oranges for minimum wage’ ?
and…. they think growers already pay minimum wage now???
However, that all presupposes we have free and fair elections. Big if.

These threats are not posturing or distraction.
They are his end goal. He wants Canada.
Take it seriously.
Because we are.
I think Americans are also unaware of how much we subsidize their gas and building costs.
We have the resources, we have the education, the talent, the real estate, the energy, and the worldwide goodwill.
For me that about sums it up. We got sucker punched when we should have had our guard up. We can't let that happen again.

And we're not sure yet if Carney will win the upcoming election, so you better hope he wins or democracy is as good as dead.
Declare it a national emergency and also address the student loans proportionately for Canadian doctors and nurses.
Thanks for posting this.

However, state officials (including State Congresspeople) CAN be recalled, or voted out.
Liberals have to define themselves as against the idea, so they have Mike Myers wear a shirt advertising Canada as the 51st state (in opposition).
The point is Trump says jump and we all say how high.
Hip.
