He intended this one to be the last election to be the last and final. MAGA is even throwing a “coronation” party. They will crown their king and establish a dictatorship / monarchy.
If he makes it a territory like Puerto Rico, he can steal all of it’s resources, while treating it’s citizens like crap and deny them representation…That sounds more like him.
Hear me out, sell Canada to america as the 51 state, do this, vote for a liberal Canadian president, immediatly change the name of the agglomeration of the two country to Canada and estabilish the already written Canadian law to the usa new territory that they paid you to get!
That's assuming that Canadians would be allowed to vote...
The idea of seizing Canada is appalling, but, sadly, I think the MAGAs can do this kind of math. I'm sure they'd find some excuse to make Canadians ineligible to vote...
They would be treated like a territory - like Puerto Rico. No voting. No representation. Just paper towels thrown at you by Trump if there is a hurricane disaster
Does he ever take questions from non Trumpist media? (Serious question from a northern neighbour🇨🇦.) It seems he stopped taking questions he didn’t like years ago and everyone just let him do it so now it’s impossible to hold him accountable (cause the rest of the GOP sure won’t).
When he does, if he doesn’t like the question, he says the person is rude or nasty. Same thing my daughter would say when she was in elementary school.
No, he really doesn’t. In his last term, he’d ignore or throw out journalists asking even mildly tough questions. Then he just stopped engaging with the press like a normal pres. Now he’s successfully made the press kowtow to him with threats. The press here is weak sauce.
You think he plans to sustain the same configuration of Congress? After he burns the Constitution, he'll just just go full Palpatine and dissolve Congress as it is, and install his own executive governance. There will be no more Democracy, no more representative legislature.
What a deal for the Canadians! They would lose their free healthcare and education, get Trump as their president, and not get to vote. I hope they show Trump the art of the deal!!
Canada would join as 13 (10 provinces 3 territories) unincorporated territories and none would have voting rights or representation. It's like getting a bunch of new Puerto Ricos with resources. Do you seriously think Donald Trump (of all people) would let Canadians vote?
More so if every province joined separately, even if Quebec separated. That would give 13 more states. Trump certainly doesn't know Quebec exists as a majority-French-speaking entity. They tend to lean left, even by Canadian standards.
FK that, though. 🇨🇦 Trump can eat 💩.
Quebec would 100% separate in this scenario.
Support for sovereignty has been at about 35% for the last decade or so, but this kind of threat would be a game-changer for a lot of us. I would just feel really bad for French-Canadians in the ROC.
I believe there are still Francophone communities in the US in the Northeast and also the Cajuns in Louisiana. Don’t know how assimilated they are, though.
Indeed, these communities exist, but the long term survival of their language and culture is highly improbable.😕 French is declining in the rest of Canada and we’re having trouble preventing its decline in Quebec. So imagine in the US where it has no official status or protection!
or the Blue States could merge with Canada - nice northern border - although not continuous. to leave the confederacy behind along with some other useless states would be sublime.
And then there's the little matter of those folks in the east who speak French (sort of) and might want to submit their own separate application for statehood. Same for BC, etc. Shit can get complicated, not even counting all those Inuit who live north of 60N. The Senate might flip irreversibly.
Naturalized citizens have the right to vote if they live in a state. Course, if trump has his way there will be no more voting ever again. Kings tend to hate letting us plebs have a say.
It would of course have to be gerrymandered into two separate districts: one containing all those liberals, getting one seat and another district containing the two MAGA friendly residents in Canada, getting like 50 seats or so.
Understanding things isn't trump's strong point. Someone pointed him toward Canada Panama Greenland and Mexico and said fetch. He wagged his tail and started babbling
I’m in Oregon, what do we need to agree to? Branching off and starting our own country with Kamala as president is one choice, joining Canada is another. I’ll speak on behalf of my state and say yes to either. Just get us out of this crazy country.
Exactly.
They will make it a territory first.
They won't make Puerto Rico a state for two main reasons
They are left-leaning and have the wrong skin color.
Shhh don't tell him. Let's make a secret deal with Canada. Help us get rid of Republicans, change the Constitution and we will give them - ND. No one really lives there anyways.
But, I doubt we'd be on the path to Statehood anymore than Puerto Rico, Guam or American Samoa are. Not that I consider that a deciding feature of my rejection of his "idea", in whatever form it may take. I reject the incoming POTUS, his supporters, and everything they say or do. I'm pro-Canadian.
Assuming we ever have another election. He’s betting on staying until he dies because who is going to stop him? SCOTUS said he’s above the law (Constitution). Laws are only as good as willingness to enforce them. See, Brown V. Board
You can beg, but most of us will refuse as we prefer the country that we have and don't want to have to worry about the problems existing in another country.
Plus, your population would vastly outnumber ours, so it would still be an invasion by any other name.
This may well the ONE thing that keeps him from pursuing his stupid idea of annexation, once someone points it out to him of course. He's just too utterly stupid to figure it out for himself.
Believe those are MAGA states no? They can keep pedo Gym Jordan. I have yall qaeda former family there sad to say. Take the states that pay their way and leave the rest and their debt behind. I am sure their oligarch overlords will bail them out. maybe give Alaska a pass.
That would be a pretty awesome america though. Canadians might even go for it. That said quite a few Canadians don't even want to be part of Canada eh.
His hypocrisy knows no bounds. From ridiculing his golf rounds and then quadrupling them, the man is a walking contradiction. Called Obama ignorant? Rankings speak for themselves: Obama in the top 15, Trump scraping the bottom. The MAGA myth is built on lies we’re all paying for. #DefendDenyDepose
It’s just a temporary distraction by a president who will accomplish NOTHING to benefit anyone including his feckless supporters (except the richest 1%).
You'd get a bunch truck drivers from Alberta who just LUV to do a mass migration to a quiet residential neighborhood every 3 yrs, and honk their horns whenever they're not going to the bathroom on someone's front yard.
Well, then Canada should be honored to become the 51st state, joining fellow conservatives and supporting the American "mandate" south of the 49th parallel 😉
Uh, Au Contraire - we're out here, and thoroughly disgusted and ashamed of having yet again a CONVICTED RAPIST and FELON at the helm.
I guess not enough Americans died under DJTs grotesque incompetence, nope we need more deaths, chaos, division and Wars when we could've had joy, competence & sanity
That’s not guaranteed to be the case at all - we are likely about the elect a very conservative prime minister and it’s not true that some huge majority of Canadians would vote Democratic - assuming we had a vote after the Americans colonized us
Sure. But it's not going to happen. The USA isn't going to take Canada over. Trump's just going to damage Canada and Canadians, and put on a bit of theatrical cruelty. He's a bullying oaf.
Trump was never good at math or economics or geography or international relations or running a business or running a country. He has failed at all of the above. He made money by being a fraudster, a conman and a cheat in every aspect of his life. When he opens his mouth all that comes out is lies.
Devil's Advocate: Let's say that the US takes over Canada, which is overwhelmingly pro-Democratic, not Republican if you want to use these labels. Canada would end up like Puerto Rico as a US possession. Canada would never have a say in US National elections. Why would anyone in Canada want that?
Why would we want any of it??? School shootings, going bankrupt to pay for cancer treatment, shitty schools….need I go on? Mango Mussolini will have to take us by force and then we will be like the Irish Freedom Fighters for the next 200 years. So there is that. 😊
Perhaps border countries should have a vote. Seems they have the potential to be significantly impacted. Maybe we should let DC and Puerto Rico have a vote first…😏
True. But the Senate will be lost forever when he splits the conservative leaning provinces into hundreds of states each with a population of 100 or so, 2 of which will be senators.
That's assuming that us Canadians would be permitted to participate in our own governance and democratic elections. Conquerors rarely grant those rights to those they conquer. Also, this is a decidedly undemocratic scheme.
so ten states with an extra 3 territories to put pressure on those as well as PR, Guam, and DC for statehood too.
this is all hypothetical, it's fucking insane and the flat answer is "No, the US will NOT be expanding it's footprint, the joint chiefs will literally just arrest trump instead"
I don't think people understand how wealthy Canada really is. They have tons of gold, silver copper platinum and uranium plus oil coal diamonds they have everything plus lumber. What are you talking about state this is $1 trillion country.
We don’t want any of it - the guns, the shootings, the offensively expensive yet less effective medical care, the poor educational outcomes for everyone but the wealthy….. I think we would take In n Out Burger but that’s it.
I like her! What’s her name? Orange is going to hate everything about this because he’s a cowardly misogynist who thinks he can talk and bully his way into making things happen for his friends and people he worships (the Russian bully). Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
Australia would be on Canada’s side too. Probably all of the Commonwealth nations as well. We’ll all invade, set things right for a change. Return land to indigenous peoples including Mexico and Americans will live in Nevada or Utah
Then we need Canada to get rid of all of Trumps evils in this world. How abt we return you to your own country after you help rid us of Trump and maga! Working together here!
I could kick every stupid, hateful or gullible American numbskull for voting in that orange deranged lunatic again. And all the spineless lawmakers who let the rapist felon run again too.Thanks a bloody lot. 🤬
I think the tangerine toddler is just throwing a temper tantrum because Elon was getting more press than him. He had to come up with something more stupid to get the spotlight again. Next we'll hear about renaming Mars after Jesus or some other idiotic thing so he can laugh at his base agreeing.
Donald Trump isn't just bad at math. He is a poor student in any subject except bankruptcy. He hasn't any sensitivity to the fact that, absent the free hats, he is a hated bully. As a convicted felon he is disqualified from entry into Canada.

Why the hell did he get so many votes?

NHS style health care!
Gun Control laws!
FK that, though. 🇨🇦 Trump can eat 💩.

Now, on the "Let's not conquer our nearest friend just to be dicks" list...
#bartrump from the G7 as a clear and present danger to our autonomy.
Repost now!
He said no one has to vote
He has all votes he needs,he said
He cheating
He stole election
Now imagine an American talking to a Quebecer
I promise you it will not end pretty, and the Quebecer will win
For Cali to join, it needs Washington & Oregon as well
All 3 & see how long before NY and The New England states ask to join
Then, well it will be Michigan Wisconsin, Minnesota & Illinois rushing to join
Health care, sensible gun laws, much fairer voting system & courts
Remember MAGA fuckwads won't be able to join Canada. We deport them to FLA or Texas
They will make it a territory first.
They won't make Puerto Rico a state for two main reasons

The 11th Province.
Who would be Premier
JB or Whitmer or Walz
Noticed they left off Indiana on the map 🤣

As a non-White American, who voted against him Three Times, I cannot help but find that amusing in some respects.
The Trump 2 Era shall be interesting. But first we have to take Greenland!🤣
give billionaires one more decade of misinformation and that’ll change
BTW, have you heard his grammar or his speeches
He sounds like a fifth grader
so it'd buck the house AND the senate forever.
this is all hypothetical, it's fucking insane and the flat answer is "No, the US will NOT be expanding it's footprint, the joint chiefs will literally just arrest trump instead"

She’s the leader of our Green Party and the woman who helped them get on the map in Canada - truly brilliant 💗
Here’s her wiki

Charlie Angus should threaten trump & his demon offspring!
Canadian Beaver 🦫 will snip Trump's scrotum & tear off his teeny mushroom energy! 🍄 Ask Stormy Daniels who 🙈 it!
He wants taxation without representation.
It's what Trump wants, and what he should never be allowed to have.
