My good man, first of all. No. Second , do you really think if Canada becomes the 51st there will actually be free elections? Lol. Like do you think Poland got to vote after Hitler invaded? - ThreadSky

Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

I fully accept your no. Can’t believe they don’t recognize that each province would have to be a separate state

We would be 41 million ungovernable people. Fuck Mango Mussolini

grandmaonion.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m already making plans to be as ungovernable as possible. I will revert to age 17-19 for inspiration.

I will absolutely get my gun license

I'm thinking that the instructors are about to be busy as fuck. As someone as gun averse as I am, I know I've looked into it in the last few weeks - more than once.

ladybluewpg5.bsky.social•6 days ago

Me too. So would my husband and we are not gun people. Also, in Jen Gunter style

I was actually looking at taking a gun safety course so I could go with a friend to a gun range since they didn't have anyone to go with them.
Now I'm thinking I might ACTUALLY need these skills and have to seriously brush up on my winter camping.

Why do they assume that even they (Americans) will have free and fair elections in the future? I wouldn't bet on it with the way things are going.

Trump was openly telling his MAGA folks they would never have to vote again. People don’t realize that with every passing day they will lose more and more rights.

Let’s just stop with the NYT.

Over mine and millions of other Canadians dead bodies will Canada ever be a 51st state

teebonez.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah we all can't wait. God these guys are shit bags. The US despite what it may is not the land of the free or brave. The relationship between our nations is changed forever or at least for the foreseeable future. Its like we are Czechoslovakia waiting for the tanks to roll in.

Vapid dribble from a vapid man

Exactly the point I just made.
There won't be any more elections. Democracy will be gone completely.
The far right rich loons won't give up the throne.

Exactly, Dr Jen. Canadians would never be given a vote. And since environmental concerns are now “woke”, I’d guess our North would be raped for its natural resources, and the land picked clean. While the oligarchs laugh all the way to the bank.

nicoletranger.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly

Donald Trump, talk about being D-U-M-B; Canada has a population bigger than California and so, will be awarded more that 54 Electoral Colleges Votes, which would all go to the democrats and the republicans will never see the inside the While House again. 🤣

Oh FFS. Absolutely not. What is this guy thinking? Or is he thinking?

ssimms.bsky.social•6 days ago

My friends keep talking about the midterms. I just don't believe we're going to have free and fair midterms. I cannot get excited about the midterms.

drjengunter.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah…I am with you

saltymichael.bsky.social•6 days ago

Peter is not a good man. He has become a complete hack.

metoddscott.bsky.social•6 days ago

When I read these articles I instantly think of this meme.
Stop trying to make Fetch happen. It is NEVER happening.

originalnose.bsky.social•5 days ago

The fact that the @nytimes.com thinks these articles are worth writing while much more insidious activity goes unreported shows how untrustworthy they've become.
