The attacks President Trump aimed at Canada extended beyond imposing more tariffs on America’s neighbor and NATO ally, and laid out in the clearest terms yet his vision for annexing Canada and making it part of the U.S.

Trump is all talk. If he really wants to invade or annex Canada, why hasn't he done anything about it. He just says a lot of senile things, then he folds faster than a lawn chair.
What Trump doesn't seem to understand is that when he 'annexes' Canada, the amount of Democratic voters will rise so much that the GOP won't win any elections anymore in the future
What even anti-Trump Americans don't seem to understand if that if the United States annexes Canada millions of Canadians will be entirely too busy fighting a violent insurgency against the United States to line up to vote in the elections of the nation that just invaded and occupied our country.
Okay, so first. This would be so satisfying. Second, I think it would be hilarious to watch him try to squeeze his fat ugly ass into a military vest. Third...he wouldn't make it far, all the weight from the gear would get him down at ten steps.
If he really tries to do this, we need to exercise our 1st amendment rights to protest. We have the power to shut this down. And actually, Canada has the power to shut our power down…
Trump attacks Canda and gets his ass kicked since lots of Americans will fight on their side. Idiot. He will be engaged with a 20-million-person defensive ranging over vast territories and many Suprises.
Trump’s latest genius idea: annexing Canada. Because clearly, running one country into the ground isn’t enough—now he wants to drag an actually functional nation down with him. 🤦🏻
Well no, we wouldn't be a "blue state". We shouldn't even entertain that kind of thinking. It is dangerous to let anyone imagine that annexing Canada may be good for their political fortunes.
The Democrats tried twice to impeach him. They failed both times.
He was charged with conspiracy to commit insurrection. The American justice system has failed.
What do you suggest to remove him from the White House? There aren't many options left.
NATO, AUSNZ & Japan need to cut off all intel sharing with the US. Revise their trade agreements to favor each other and disfavor the US. Start building up their own military IMMEDIATELY. Back out of 5 Eyes.
Stand by for Trump to rescind the new tariffs, claiming some absurd "victory" after "having talks with Macron & Trudeau/Carney" in which they "agreed to" [trump's demands].
Trump will never be able to annex Canada. We are a strong, independent nation. Any attempt would spark global retaliation. As Chretien said, “STOP THE NONSENSE.” #elbowsup 🇨🇦
Checking in with all the people who thought that calling him a fascist was overreacting, how are they feeling about this extremely obvious imperialism?
Canada is united. We will NEVER bow to a tyrant. We will do what Americans couldn't and stop Trump.
Yes, but 10% of 41 million people, spread across 9,985 million square kilometers, would not elect a narcissist like him in our country. And 90% of those 41 million people are ready to fight for our Canada.
That 10% should move to the states. They would free up a lot of housing in Alberta. I love you Alberta, I’m a huge fan of your anthropology/paleontology and especially your agricultural communities. They are in my opinion cornerstones of Canadian culture. But we both know I’m right.
Fuck you Trump! Fuck you cowardly Red Hat Nazi scum for not doing a damn thing to put and end to this exhausting bullshit. And a giant FUCK YOU TO THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO VOTED FOR THIS INSANITY!
Dear Friends in Canada. Don't take the bait. He's lying as usual. Everything he does and says is done in bad faith. He's an example to everyone how not to be in all phases of life on every topic.
This is bullshit. We can't not react to another head of state threatening our sovereignty. Doesn't matter if it's a negotiating tactic, it's extortion and against international law. You don't tell someone threatened with violence not to sweat it because the person actually just wants their wallet.
I get it. No offense intended. I am just saying that he is a bully liar and threatens everyone and then pulls it back. I have never met a Canadian I didn't like and don't believe that any American soldier is going to follow is unlawful orders from this scumbag felon.
I understand, but please note that we are already experiencing harm from his unjustified economic war and efforts to destabilize our society, which is being normalized rather than called out for the illegal shit it is. The time to speak up is well before any invasion is on his bingo card.
Trump is both of those. Me? I am a realist. We don't trust anything he says, he is an incompetent liar. No American is going to support such an unlawful act. He will be removed from office before that would ever occur. We are not supporting his insanity & are fighting back against him here everyday
Ok, buddy. When the tanks roll, and the planes are in the air for the dumbschluss you can't say "I never thought THIS could happen! Ah well, nevertheless!" He had a mob storm the Capitol, and I'll bet you didn't see it coming, even after he said "lets storm the Capitol".
I 100% saw J6 coming! While you think he's coming for you...he's already come for us. The real front line is here and we Americans are on it. More than half of us will not roll over and allow him to take our rights or our country let alone invade Canada. He lies when he really wants something else.
Trump has done so much damage to the relationship with his idiotic remarks. Don’t expect Canada anytime soon to forget. The boycott of US products will simply become the new Canadian
You don't and won't. Donald is speaking in a way that suggests he will destabilize the security of the North American continent, including throughout the United States.
What bullies we have given, unlimited power to! Insanity! If I was Canada, I think I would shut down the border crossings, or at the minimum require passports and visas before letting Americans into the country.
Seriously, one more article about the U.S. “annnexing” our country not invading, I am cancelling my subscription. We are a sovereign country. “Making it a part of the US”. What kind of language is that. US owes China just under a trillion dollars why doesn’t China annex you. The hubris of nytimes.
Trump saying he wants to Annex Canada is just as offensive as your 70-year-old neighbor telling you he wants to have sex with your 14-year-old daughter.
A true champion of Liberty would never raise a hand, nor a word, in anger towards such a friend as Canada. And indeed a good friend Canada has been to America.
We must ensure our ally that true Americans will not tolerate this behavior. No matter how long it will take, integrity will be restored.
It’s insane how you seem to normalize this like just another day at the office. For fuck sake do your job as journalists and tell people what’s really going on here and how completely insane it is.
Hey, Pentagon? Sam from Canada here, you aren't going to let him do anything too stupid now, right? Like, someone, at some point, will tell him no? Right?
Trump’s bizarre push for Canada to become the 51st state is not getting enough attention, perhaps because of all the other insane things he is doing. It is absolutely outrageous and unacceptable, and should be reported as such.
I just can't forgive those 77M people who made a terribly wrong decision last Nov. I can understand them, expecting a better life. I hope one day they can realize the harm they did to themselves and the rest of the world.
If our PM constantly talking about US secession, and welcoming New England, the West Coast, etc, as new provinces, how would this be received by the Trump admin?
If he actually attacks Canada, a wonderful friend and ally of the US, his approval rating among magas may actually drop 1%. Congress will finally muster the will to insert a second finger up their own asses.
International law whose only enforcer is US... They have written most of those international laws to serve them, if they don't, then US stops following it.
Call this what it is NYT. This isn’t a “vision for annexing Canada”, it’s rank, destructive, illogical insanity. It’s time for Trump to go. He is unfit for the office - on so many levels.
There's a weird thread of thought by climate denialists rightwingers, that believes they'll just move northward into a comfortable climate when the time comes. I believe that this is the "planning" part. I shit you not, I'm not making this up.
President Trumusk dreams of annexing Canada Putin's reunification fantasy adapted for North America! Nothing reveals psychological projection quite like mimicking your mentor's imperial ambitions. Even aspiring autocrats typically choose conquests that don't control their nation's electricity supply
Try it!
We know our country.
We know every nook, cranny, valley, tree, snow drift of this massive land of ours. You will be in for a lifetime of gorilla warfare from loggers, miners, derrickmen/women, and fishermen/women. Canadians will NEVER accept annexation by the USA. NEVER!
Don't you love the argument that the only way for Canada to be free is to force it to unwillingly become a part of a country that Canadians have no desire to be a part of? Sounds like Putin talking about Ukraine and the rest of the old Eastern bloc.
Trump is unhinged and unstable.
Republicans and Dems constantly criticized President Biden's age yet they are ignoring the immense damage Trump diminished brain is doing to US stability and world peace. WTH will it take to change course?
It was never about lowering grocery prices
Canada here: We don't want to lose our universal healthcare and all of our social securities (pension, unemployement, etc), nor we don't need your 2nd Amendement. And in Québec, we want to keep our French language.
LOL! The American has a snowball's chance in hell of making us the 51st state. Why would we ever want to join his putrid country. We are very happy with free health care and government that prioritizes the public good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8peiLVFsLdw
What else does this CRIMINAL have to do for you to stop reporting it as if it was just something that happens everyday.
This has happened before, he needs to be stopped and you need to stop trying to normalize this behavior
Why are you giving oxygen to the delusions of a madman. Annexation is never going to happen. In fact your own country is going to collapse and very very soon…like within weeks..not months..weeks.
Well, at least he wants you Canada. He's just slapped Australia with 25% tariffs, and I suspect if China were to come knocking on our door, the orange overlord wouldn't lift a finger to help.
Doesn’t this headline make Americans stop and think. Trump is “threatening” 🇨🇦 with “statehood”. It’s literally the worst thing he can “threaten” us with!!! Why are Canadians so desperate to avoid this fate? Maybe bc we look south and are horrified by what it means to live in the United States!!!
US media is very polarised ... it is not journalism.. it's editorialism
Few outlets still practice journalism ... ie report on the facts and let readers draw their own conclusions. It's called critical thinking. That's what the NYT does
If you want someone to think for you, go to Fox or MSNBC.
There must be over 10 Provinces & Territories, so the State count would be at least 60 if not more. Is the Republican Party wishing for that sort of change in the balance of the Senate?
Why is this question buried in BlueSky musings? Why does the media buy Trump’s vocabulary without any thought?
What’s funny is that even as an American I know Canada is at least 4…5?… individual what we would call states… Trump is a fucking moron and if you support him, so are you.
Putin wants from USA:
1) Crash US economy
2) Anger allies
3) Weaken NATO
4) Neville-Chamberlain Ukraine's land
5) Ally with dictators in UN for the first time
6) Stop Russian sections
7) Normalize relations
8) Attacked US government
a) Civil Service
b) Inspectors General
c) JAG
Checked off all !
(And why, for that matter, is it normalizing the “disappearance” of a green card holder by unidentified men who bundle him into an unmarked car and refuse to allow him private communications with a lawyer? Is the NYT just waving its paws in the air now?)
Poor him if he annexes Canada. We are more democrats then anything else. We would push our values on you so strongly you won't win. Women's rights to abortion, gay rights, immigrants, no religion, learn french, loose weight 🤣 NO GUNS, healthcare for everyone ect... and learn to say I'm sorry 😂

This is threatening slave territory status.
Except the Dutch.
I'm almost CERTAIN they're coming.
The Democratic party is pathetic.
We're gonna nationalize your ass and turn you into nothing but cute pet pictures.
“Will Trump’s regime collapse in the Civil War following defeat in Canada?”
He was charged with conspiracy to commit insurrection. The American justice system has failed.
What do you suggest to remove him from the White House? There aren't many options left.
Trump is a psychopath and must be stopped.
All total & obvious BS of course.
Such a small fist.
Canada is united. We will NEVER bow to a tyrant. We will do what Americans couldn't and stop Trump.

Their lack of reporting thing as it is makes them complice
Normalizing this bullshit!
He can even offer the charge of PR to Justin Trudeau now that JY is going to hand over the position of PM to Mark Carney.
Want a 52nd? DC…
When has Canada last hosted Putin, Kim Jong Un, Netanyahu or Mohammed bin Salman? It’s probably time to strike Marco Rubio off our guest list. 🇨🇦
If you are our friends, DEMAND that your leaders speak out explicitly and strongly against Trump's threats against us.
DEMAND governors, mayors, and congresspeople denounce Trump.
We must ensure our ally that true Americans will not tolerate this behavior. No matter how long it will take, integrity will be restored.
Dismiss and write some book or do something serious, please.
May America Glorify Assholes.
We will save Europe from you Nazis, and murderers.
Because we have to start doing this.
Stay out of our country
We know our country.
We know every nook, cranny, valley, tree, snow drift of this massive land of ours. You will be in for a lifetime of gorilla warfare from loggers, miners, derrickmen/women, and fishermen/women. Canadians will NEVER accept annexation by the USA. NEVER!
What about reporting it as it is, Trump being the disrespectfull prick make Canadian's patriotism at highest

Putin won't stop with a defeat of Ukraine. It's the first step in a series of invasions and conquests that lead to Poland.
Poland is a NATO member. NATO will respond. The result: WWIII
In choking off Ukraine, Trump is enabling world war.

What do you think will the pentagon do in this case?
1) Crash US economy
2) Anger allies
3) Weaken NATO
4) Neville-Chamberlain Ukraine's land
5) Ally with dictators in UN for the first time
6) Stop Russian sections
