I haven't heard a single member of Congress from either party acknowledge he really wants to annex Canada, it's not just some joke or distraction, and express serious opposition to the idea. Or for that matter, even serious support. It's all still a game to them, oh there he goes again, crazy Donny. - ThreadSky

Trump: "When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done by a ruler ... you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the US, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that. And then if you add Greenland, that's pretty good."

As a Canadian I will hold a grudge for the rest of my life if somebody down there in the world of corruption does not speak to this very soon. I'll never buy another US item. I'd rather starve. You all say you love Canada blah blah blah.

lsterlingw3.bsky.social•25 days ago

I understand. As an American who recently lived in Canada for 15 years; please know we love your country, we loved (past tense) our country. I am so very sorry.

richardthunderbay.bsky.social•25 days ago

As a Canadian, I have to say that think that silence is pretty shameful and a big reason why we as a country currently have a dim view of the United States as a whole and not just Trump. To greater or lesser degrees you all have to take responsibility for this insanity.

msyoudoyou.bsky.social•25 days ago

Why is it an artificial line when it’s us and a border requiring a giant fence when it’s Mexico? Why is it an artificial line when America wants to take us over, but a border requiring paperwork when snowbirds want to enter? Congress isn’t acknowledging this because they share the vision.

n1ch.bsky.social•25 days ago

I’m sure it has nothing at all what to do with the inherent racism of white nationalists. Probably just a coincidence!

msyoudoyou.bsky.social•25 days ago

All these coincidences are so weird and not at all alarming or triggering a conspiracy response in my brain!

Seth Magaziner from RI introduced a bill to stop it

fagankara.bsky.social•25 days ago

Which Ds will kill. It will not be out to a vote. And here in Canada, we find it pretty damn suspicious that exactly 8 people out of 338,000,000 even try to stop it.

roosefella.bsky.social•25 days ago

The minority party can neither kill nor pass a bill.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•25 days ago

Republicans probably will kill it, it would need republican support to get to the floor via either the normal process or a discharge petition. But broadly accepting your wider point, just arguing the original post phrasing of “a single member”. Not nearly enough, but more than 0.

fagankara.bsky.social•25 days ago

Dems will. I have been tracking it. I know exactly name by name which ds have even commented informally on annexation and we here in Canada 🇨🇦 realize they’re not as opposed as we would have hoped.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•25 days ago

Even if they wanted to Democrats don’t have the authority to kill the bill. Every one of them could oppose it, as with many bills, and it would still pass if supported by all Republicans. A number of bills have recently done that.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•25 days ago

Maybe I’m being pedantic about what you mean by killing the bill, do you mean that there are other Democrats opposing the bill?

fagankara.bsky.social•25 days ago

Rep sponsors a bill. The bill is assigned to a committee for study. If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended. 👈👈 If released. This bill will not get released and will not be voted on.

saramajka.bsky.social•25 days ago

kara, also hate to jump on here at the risk of being pedantic, but i’m not sure you have the right read. you'd be hard pressed to find a dem who doesn’t wildly oppose taking canada. that said, the issue is dems are being weak and pitiful and triangulating in their opposition

fagankara.bsky.social•25 days ago

I’m not sure you have the right read. Only Seth Magaziner and 7 co-sponsors have said a word. And Ds will kill that bill in committee themselves. AOC and Crockett commented but not in Congress. And every blue American here tells us they’re wildly opposed but does zero to stop it.

swordcandlebell.bsky.social•25 days ago

When we immigrated to Canada during the first Trump admin it was because we expected that Dems wouldn't have the stomach to do what was required to resist fascism, but this has been so much more pathetic than even my cynical imagination. Abject capitulation.

profcew.bsky.social•25 days ago

Can't someone just give him a map with a lower resolution where the border line looks less straight? I am serious. This is the man who used a sharpie to "correct" a weather map.

lizziebrahms.bsky.social•25 days ago

You're right, he's serious. The problem is, it's so hard not to laugh. I mean, he sounds so incredibly stupid, so woefully ignorant! Straight lines and rulers? (I guess that means we have to redraw the borders of Wyoming and Colorado and work on some of the other states too.) But he IS serious.

robertwilde.bsky.social•25 days ago

Elected Dems need to start talking now:

1. Our alliance with Canada is enshrined as inviolable US law via Congressional treaty approval

2. The President has no authority to declare war

3. An invasion of Canada would be a clear illegal order and a future administration will prosecute

He’s not kidding. He’s repeated his annexation threats for months, now every day, combined with targeted attacks on our economy and a preposterous contrived pretext of a flood of fentanyl and secret drug labs in Canada. It’s clear to everyone except Congress that he dreams of imperial conquest.

As a Canadian, you can bet your bottom dollar I've noted that in my ledger of grudges. And underlined it.
