I was in a meeting with US-based colleagues yesterday - educated & intelligent New York attorneys - and they felt it was ok to joke about the Canadian meeting participants being the 51st state. What is wrong with Americans that they don’t even seem to grasp how serious this is for Canada? Unreal.
It honestly doesn’t give me much hope for the future of your country if smart educated residents from democrat states don’t even understand. People in Canada are pissed. Rightly so. America is attacking our livelihoods. Our standard of living. Our prosperity. I just don’t know about y’all anymore.
A lot of educated people have also been radicalized. It baffles me as well. A lot of us stand with Canada, and encourage any measures you must take to protect yourselves.
He wants a total collapse of the GLOBAL economy. This is an attempt at a New World Order with the US a part of the new Axis of Evil with Russia and N. Korea
Bingo. Once the infrastructure for modern society is mostly gone (think banks, internet cables, etc), he and Musk can pick up the shattered pieces and rule the world with Elon's satellite monopoly and soon-to-be banking app X. Two dictators in a new world order. The evangelicals blind to it all.
Not a major concern at the moment I suppose, but how do Canadians feel about their head of state inviting Trump over for a visit. (I do realise King Charles is only following orders)
After the initial shock of your take-over, America would unleash the bloodiest guerilla war on its undefended border the world has ever seen.We are 41 million people who look like you, talk like you and who would want to punish America. Northern Ireland would look like kindergarten.
End goal likely is the dissolution of the government and we go to technofuedalism. Sovereign corporate states/districts with a CEO ruler and slave labor class. See Curtis Yarvin.
Tonight, Trump is going to stand on a televised stage and spout Putins Propaganda to the World, while half the US Congress cheers. This is going to be a very bad thing.
In business, this is like a "hostile takeover" in international relations, it's called a war and a disaster (See Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and on and on).
No use American Hating, when we have a perfectly good “Clown” on his throne to hate on!! He doesn’t speak for us!! We will spend years fixing what this “Clown” breaks and not to mention that botoxed asshat that’s really running the country. We didn’t elect captain botox!!
And, those were third world countries with few allies. That is not what you are facing here. We are the second largest country in the world with a population of only 40 million - good luck just finding us. 😊
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Please please please annex New England and New York. We could be a Provence called “Newer England”. We’ve got a lot to offer. And we would be very grateful.
Just checked my 401k ...$6,000 I am down. I am young but man can not believe what others are losing. Post your loss and tag your representatives.

We can NEVER normalize the fact that tRump talks about Canada the way Hitler talked about Poland and the rest of Europe, and how Putin talks about Ukraine, Georgia and other sovereign states. This is who he and the GOP have become. I don’t know what it will take for his followers to wake up.
Justin is right. He has no political reason to bluster as he has already resigned as party leader and will remain Prime Minister until a new party leader is chosen in 5 days (March 9 2025) Canada will have a new Prime Minister soon after. #ThankyouJustin
I’m going to make the assertion that Canada has more allies than the United States does now. With our military being involuntarily and voluntarily downsized this is extremely unlikely to occur.
I think trump actually thought Canadians wanted to be an American state (because of our health care?). Canadians probably hurt his feelings by boycotting American products & booing our national anthem. I'm an American but I got it.
My heart is breaking for our beautiful country! If you want to do something but aren't comfortable or close to any protests, please don't buy anything on Wednesdays! Make it a regular thing, every Wednesday! You can show up by not showing up! Women have so much economic power, let's use it together!
Important for Americans to know that Musk speaks Russian and most likely has been having talks with Putin behind Bidens back. It is illegal for a citizen to have an own foreign policy, especially with an adversary. Trump did also not want to answer when asked about this multiple times
🇨🇦 There are more of us that love you, than not.
Personally I’d say, please don’t cave into Trump. I know we both will suffer but I’m prepared and willing to fight and stand up for Democracy and have your back !!💙💯😘
I said from the beginning that he was serious. People laughed. Now we all know how serious he is and this is just the beginning. Without an overhaul or uprising, this is only going to get much worse. Things we would never dream of are now on the table from this administration.
Trump actually wants to see the total collapse of the American economy.... which will incidentally collapse every economy around it, including the Canadian economy.
Trump is actively trying to bankrupt the entire world. He may actually succeed if he stays this course.
Most countries are protecting themselves against this by allying with each other so the American economy with suffer the most bc the "gov" has alienated us from our allies.
If those countries are smart, they will sever as many economic ties with the US as possible. Eventually, the US will be siloed into its own bucket where it can no longer do damage, but not before Wall Street collapses.
Looks like we're going to have a fire sale on America.. maybe Canada could buy New England.
Special price cuz we really all are begging you.. please... Take us.
this whole thing reminds me more and more of Porsche! big mouth and wanting to buy Volkswagen and then end up as part of the group! maybe there will be a big Canadian empire! 😂😂
Please please annex VT as part of Quebec or with New England as a new province! I'm guessing WA, OR, and CA would be happy to be a new province as well.
Especially cuz I’m buying Canadian as much as I can. It’ll cost more, but I can afford it. What I can’t afford is 4 years of the Orange Turd. Impeach him for treason.
Man, I had some bad spelling and grammar there... sorry 'bout that.
I would fight like hell to avoid having a lower standard of living. If Canada were to become the 51st state, it'd be like having beachfront property, then getting bogged down in a smelly swamp.
Indeed. Being able to bypass the US entirely, without issue, would VERY much slam the US down even farther, as Felon 47 continues to dismantle & destroy it.
And I for one, would shed NO tears either.
But I suspect other states would start seriously looking at becoming provinces. :)
So , in 1928 the Smoot Holley tariffs , a year later the stock market crashed and then in 1931 a drought drove the Great Depression into reality? Are we repeating history?
When this is over, Canadians will revert to 'nice' but we will never ever forget what the US tried to do to our country. It has been revealed to all that an agreement with the US isn't worth the paper it's written on & that any time the political wind changes down there, we are at risk.
With respect, what kind of "no worries" is that? We're having to engage in a game of chicken to see who can bear the most economic pain before they blink. Even if the US economy tanks first, we will be left in a very vulnerable position internationally and it will take decades to recover our losses.
Sorry I was being facetious. The only way I know how to cope at this point is by maintaining a sense of humor. Believe me when I say the pain this is causing for people troubles me deeply.
All good. I would normally be with you in finding something to laugh about, but we're getting a bit tired of having our concerns brushed off or joked about, largely by the big media outlets, and i just don't have the laugh in me when it comes to the threats Canada faces. Sorry for preaching though!
It is so sad to see mature adults have to try and lead and clean up messes while an immature, evil man-baby just keeps breaking sh!t with the backing of billionaires and brainwashed idiots.
Trump is a fool if he wants Canada as the 51st state. Canada has a very liberal voting base. He would assure at least 2 Democrat Senators forever and I don't know how many in the House of Representatives but probably in the 40-50 range. Bye Bye to any chance of a Republican majority.
You and everyone else are stuck in the fallacy that in 4 years you're going to have a democracy.. Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are trying for a city-state oligarchical technocracy. Just so happens, a lot of the deregulation stuff aligns with Reaganomics as per hypercapitalist free markets.
Please, please, just don't. Let go of this ridiculous fallacy that we will happily become democrat Americans. What is MUCH more likely is that we become forever resistance fighters in a territory that has 0 representation - think Puerto Rico.
You are assuming he allows voting in the future. And if he does, you are assuming he won’t meddle with elections. And if did allow elections and if he didn’t meddle with the process and if he did lose, you are assuming he will admit defeat and vacate peacefully.
We know that we would never receive rights. Anyone who thinks we would be granted statehood is not thinking with their whole brain. We would be an occupied territory.
Nothing is guaranteed with this administration. If they did reach the point of annexing Canada, I don't for a second doubt that we would have very few rights and representation. Hell, Americans won't have rights in a few months!
This madness relative to Canada never occurred to me, any more than buying Greenland. I believe the time is here that we consider trump's bizarre behavior and changing mental status as a threat to our national security.

It's the closest to verbalizing how I feel seeing what is going on in certain parts of the world caused by a handful of corrupt white men!!

Trump AND Putin will focus on Canada first over Ukraine, soon, and then just walk into Ukraine.
This is far, far bigger than we think.
A unified US & Russia military is dangerous, and include China too, later ?
This is an oligarch plan of world dominion!
Beware !!!
As an American, I want Canada to have a higher standard of living than us as an example that we can aspire to.
I would like some people to have a good life... and I'd like to join the.
I would fight like hell to avoid having a lower standard of living. If Canada were to become the 51st state, it'd be like having beachfront property, then getting bogged down in a smelly swamp.
This said as someone that's already Canadian.
I'd also find it FUNNY AF if the rest of the US could no longer sing "from sea to shining sea". ;)
And I for one, would shed NO tears either.
But I suspect other states would start seriously looking at becoming provinces. :)
The reverse may come true.
🇨🇦 ELBOWS UP 🇨🇦
that being said, I do not want to become American, I deeply hate several aspects of this society (women's rights, weapons, social system, etc.)
It makes so much sense. It's like we elected a Villian out of a James Bonds Movie.
