I would like to hear a convo regarding language used by the media. Example: CBC uses the term "comments" and you use the term "threats". Important distinction in these times.
There’s nothing to discuss. Anyone involved in this show is a traitor. There is no discussion about invasion or annexation by a hostile nation. Goebbels North.
what is there to discuss other than saying Trump is in the toddler phase of his dementia wherein he says everything is "mine, mine, mine" until he is distracted by the next shiny object or toy.
the US will not annex Canada.
"...They told me they feel the Canadian dream is dead, that homeownership is unattainable, and that their generation will not be better off than their parents—but see the U.S. as offering the economic opportunity Canada once promised..."
"...the typical house in Niagara Falls, Ontario costs approximately $688,966 CAD while the typical house in Niagara Falls, New York costs approximately $178,588"
I guess they've missed the growing ranks of homelessness in the US, or the declining quality if life and health in the US. Don't be stupid Canadian kids.
In the US, this show would be cancelled and those involved would face prosecution. Thank God that Canada hasn't slipped that far down the democratic sewer ... yet.
Interesting to see how a bad internet connection is handled quickly during a live show. Connect over a good old phone call and have the discussion that way.
Thank you for your perspective David and for giving it after what I'm sure was a busy day in German as well.
Choose your words and phrases extremely carefully. Pushback HARD and IMMEDIATELY against the BS that WILL be put in front of you. They have proven they will twist and reframe to suit their agenda.
Yes, the FaceEating Leopard Party WILL EAT YOUR FACE.
What's next week's show, whether slavery should be abolished?
Stop normalizing this absolute garbage. CSPAN calls it a "discussion" of "Trump's proposal". There is no proposal, and even if there were, there should be no discussion; all we should say to it is HELL NO.
true, but entertaining and trying to legitimizing the idea that trump can annex canada, deserves a big fuck you to him.both sides is being used as a weapon against good decent people
Not to sell my soul and our soverneignity to the fascist criminal! Our family members have given their lives to allow us to live in this free and democratic country . No amount of money ever! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Canadians are currently flooding the inbox of the CRTC and the CBC ombudsman over this farce.
Disgusting. Sickening. Betrayal of the highest order. Using my own tax dollars to further your sad, sorry careers by pushing this 51st state narrative.
Good. CBC is airing the show with NPR, & it's important for Americans--who generally know very little about Canada--to understand how deeply offensive, dangerous, & downright stupid it is for DJT to keep pushing these threats & tariffs, which harm all North Americans.
Love this..but I'm a 70+ (embarrassed to be) American who has watched this with horror...I marched & protested for women's rights and freedoms .... Civil Rights ... Against war...in the 60s. Now I'm shocked at how our politicians are giving up & giving in...how our news is making this sound sane....
So far - FUCK THEM Americans trying to convince us that it’s trolling because they want to negotiate tariffs meanwhile dismissing Andrew Furey saying US officials told him it’s serious
Now guest seems unaware that he is imposing more tariffs on us. Guest is laughing, Hanomansing says you’re giggling don’t you think he’s serious about guess what - guest says oh yes he’s serious but talking about it creates bad feelings about Americans. WTAF is this shit
first guest was Mara Liasson---yes, she is NPR's national political correspondent--but she has also been a FOX news pundit for 25 years--does speaking tours with other right wing pundits. She's basically a Bush republican. (same as David Frum). Awful choice of guests
Why are media employees discussing threats? Could you have joined CBC Cross Country Checkup today about 445 pm ET to condemn Trump threats to annex Canada instead?
first guest was Mara Liasson. why don't they also book Jonah Goldberg and then they will be able to mirror the guest list at one of your dinner parties🙄
Those who don't want to hear anybody even TALK about this remind me of parents who refuse to even TALK about s-e-x with a young teen son or daughter. They think that by TALKING about it, sex will be "normalized" (stupid word) and the kids will rush out and have sex. That's unadulterated BS.
Heads up: Many parents don't believe that it's normal for their young teens to have sex. For that reason, they avoid discussing it, provide guidance or offer sensible information.
And the question posed by CBC did NOT involve "annexation". That's YOUR interpretation. Trump hasn't mentioned it.
Discussing an issue that some might find uncomfortable is NOT "normalizing" it. That makes no sense at all.
Should the tens of thousands of Canadians who have ALREADY been discussing it be gagged, arrested, thrown out of the country? How about all the reporters who have talked to people? ffs.
The "Solution to the Trump Problem" will require both Americans and Canadians. Both are being asked to come forward. There is no downside to that whatsoever. And the likelihood of the American participation to be mostly MAGA wingnuts is close to zero.
To the guy from Stoon crabbing about Canada because he cant get a doc :
Thats a provincial resp. buddy - I have a feeling you dont call out Moe for this amirite? Because I bet you voted for him.
Or you could just stop lending credence to this ridiculous idea by ignoring 2 fat billionaires who want our resources but will add nothing positive to this country.
Trump's comments on Canada becoming the 51st State are, at minimum, highly offensive and incendiary, and, at worst, a soft declaration of war, utilizing similar language and tact employed by Russia prior to invading Ukraine.
i was ready the moment kristi noem said she was taking her national guard north to rescue us from 'under the jackboots of trudeau.' see you at hawkcliff.
I respect you, David, but you're giving credibility to a show that's giving credibility to "51st State" as a reasonable topic for pro and con discussion with Americans.
Only Trump and MAGA win from this show taking place.
I'm all ears. What do you think's happening? These poll numbers are changing really fast because Canadians are coming together in the face of being threatened by america. And they see Maple Maga as a threat.
Yes but look at that graph see how much that's changed since Donald Trump flooded the annexation idea. People don't believe conservatives will protect us from this.
You should check out @charlieangus104.bsky.social rant about the show. He sounds like a Poilievre de-fund CBC stooge. Almost sounded like he's a closet #Conservative
Much better wording than CBC was spilling. Thank you for your intelligence and sensitivity while keeping it real. No need for the inflammatory version.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Have you driven through Niagara Falls NY?

Once you agree to $$ it just becomes a negotiation.
Needs to be recognized as non-negotiable.
Period.
Disgusting. Sickening. Betrayal of the highest order. Using my own tax dollars to further your sad, sorry careers by pushing this 51st state narrative.
Unforgiveable and irredeemable.
All over USA.
Time to power up and do what Sanders are doing.0
Visiting Republican districts.
Win them over !
The first answer out of your mouth should be hell no....
Followed up with: Canada is not for sale....nor, is it for thieves to steal nor blokes to take.
Fuck him!
If not, encourage your Congressperson to participate on March 4 in a SOTU WALKOUT!
Dems have an opportunity to show solidarity against the regime by walking out en masse as soon as he begins to speak.
