The Trump game plan for Canada is annexation: “Trigger a crisis with ultimatums too vague to be met, negotiate with conditions that would be crippling, then “settle” for the actual goals: fresh water, minerals, manufacturing jobs.” And more. Much, much more. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... - ThreadSky

Canada will never bow to a bully

From my former Brock University colleague Charles Burton.

It has been the intention from the moment he regained power. But it won't happen. Ever.

it is the same we see with Ukraine. These are no negotiations in good faith. Resignation & gestruction are the true purpose

It makes me sick to my stomach at the thought of an American infestation within our borders. We've shared so much of our cultures because of our likeness and proximity and that was fine. But the true insidiousness of the Trump plan is harrowing. My love for this land, will be put to the test.

Just understand most Americans feel that our northern neighbors are allies and friends. Most Americans do not share DJT’s narcissistic disorder, nor are we betrothed to Putin.

I’m still bewildered as to how my fellow Americans voted for him.

Stay strong up there. Peace.

I know. And with the rage I'm expressing towards this whole thing, its not directed at the people who are against the orange turd. But when he comes at us harder, and he will. You and others like you better not be sitting on the sidelines.

Thank you. Yes, it will take a united front, Americans, and all democracy minded, progressive thinking societies around the world will be needed to smack some sense into the Antichrist who has been given power.

I do think much of this imperialistic nonsense is bullying & posturing to make tariffs seem like a small concession. Bullies like him are such disturbed people that they need to exert power over others to feel ok about themselves. It is a mental illness.

Even if the requests were reasonable (they're not) we would still have to say No, a hard resounding NO. Trump is a tyrant, and to learn from history we must all understand that you never capitulate to Tyrants.

And while we as a population know you as a population are not the 🍊, you all need to remember more than us when orders are given. Hopefully many of you will have bone spurs. 🤞🤞

Well I’m not having that. Trump can have Canada when he pries it from my cold, dead hands.

thedude-iam.bsky.social•2 days ago

Theres going to be a fight. We're the Czecks in the late 30s. And all the naysayers and downplayers and the "just joking" crowd are Neville Chamberlins after his visit to Munich.

He did not count on Canada’s resolve. We see and reject his plan. We can chart a different path. We have options.

This morning both Burton and McQuaig are using the language that is needed: 'threat to the survival of our nation', 'existential moment', etc.

We need to understand what's a stake in order to support some of the sacrifices needed for transformative change.

He's doing the same on behalf of Russia in Ukraine and with Gaza. He thinks he can just buy Greenlanders and Panama.

It’s bound to happen eventually, but this is much sooner than I expected. In about 40 or 50 years, the climate crisis will render at least the southern third of the US uninhabitable. Canada will have the water, and usable farmland.

slotrak.bsky.social•1 day ago

That is not how climate change works, alas. Northern climes will see different effects, but increased desertification is almost a given.

xcskipaul.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why would Canada negotiate at all? He just tears up deals on a whim anyway.
