If Smith or Moe were to "invite" US troops into Canada, yeah...only way I can see it happening. Then we'll have us a nice big civil war and be at war with the USA as well. Don't put this past trump. It's the same BS Hitler used as an excuse to take Austria.
I don't know if he shut up for so much of the campaign because he's genuinely mad at Poilievre for not being MAGA and now he's moved on, or if someone convinced him to be quiet to help the Tories and it wore off.
Nah I think he just gets in a mood once in awhile about Canada if he heard bad things about the tariffs or whatever. The rest of the time he forgets about us
The orange demagogue is not quite sure how to handle Carney who punched him in the nose the very first day he was in the schoolyard and he can't even spell or pronounce Poilievre’s name! 💁
He has support from radio morning shows in FL, specifically 105.9 Sunny FM.
Tuned in for music and instead heard Rick Stacy talking Canada and making reference to 51st state.
Turned the channel after yelling, it is a f’n sovereign country. So many maga radio stations here. Grrr
It began as an endorsement of the Canadian conservative candidate but turned into promotion of himself for king of Canada after the first half sentence or so.
He was asked to keep his trap shut until after the election, but he doesn't have enough self-control to do that, so the best he could come up with what this word salad.
To be fair in Canada we don’t elect certain people to be Pm, we elect a party and they select the leader, don’t kinda falls into the dumb shit dumb people say, the result is that we’re going to get people complaining the candidate of their choice isn’t on the ballot they casting.
He’s endorsing the Cons but he’s been told repeatedly not to mention Poilievre by name because the Cons don’t want his endorsement as most of us will automatically do the opposite of what Trump wants.
This is par, for a guy who has to be the bride at every wedding, the baby at every christening, etc. You just know he was upset that he wasn't the focus of attention at the Pope's funeral! So "the candidate at every election" would fit right in.
I suspect he's fantasizing that he's on the ballot, in some alternate-universe Canada with a different political system. (For non-Cdns: unless you're in the riding that elects the leader of the ruling party to the House, we don't directly vote for the PM. )
Trump does not concern himself with facts. He thinks his 51st state idea is awesome, therefore somebody in the Canadian election must be backing it. Honestly, I'm a little surprised he hasn't told us to vote for Wayne Gretzky. 🙃
........if Canada becomes a states, our federal government will pass State's Rights laws and tells the states they are on their own for health care and disaster relief, so......what is the upside here for them?
I know this is very minor in the grand scheme of things, but I am perplexed as to why he keeps referring to the border as an artificially drawn line. All borders are literally artificially drawn up, they don’t just occur naturally in the wild.
My mom saw a purple sign in her rural Maple MAGA-y riding yesterday - and had to ask me what purple signs were for.
Poor PPC... Reform-by-another-name PP and friends were plenty willing to slide back over and push them out of the far right party space the old PC merger days created.
(My pro-NDP mom unfortunately lives in a MB riding that houses a significant proportion of the antivaxxer/clown convoy/Wexiteer minority here. There's only one other riding likely to offer up close to as many or more of them. She had MAGA hat Bergen as her MP, to provide a sense of how bad it is.)
Like anyone in Canada cares what he says? Canadians have enough sense to do the opposite of his ranting… if anyone can even figure out what he’s saying.
Last minute endorsement for a specific candidate (who Donald doesn't mention by name, presumably in order to avoid accusations of 'foreign interference')? Shouting out his preference for Pierre from atop his golden perch should be all the reminder Canadians need today to go and vote for our future.
You absolutely do not want the US system. He also hasn’t done any of this, or equivalent to, for the US which is actually the country he is currently President of. And apparently fentanyl was “pouring” over that now nonexistent border. Jesus…
It might be late stage syphilis, but I think Donnie is stuck in the eighties. That’s when 🇺🇸 started buying the better made Japanese cars that flooded the 🇺🇸 market.
For the truth about trade between 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 in the 21st century, here’s a great article.
We are way past the days of his lies being exaggerations or misrepresentations of some semblance of truth. He just makes stuff up out of thin air now and his sycophants try to find ways to make it so, or somehow explain it, or avoid it altogether.
It let's us see the methods Trump uses to destroy America oligarch style. Trump cares nothing about American people that aren't the top 3%.(being generous with %). 💙
Seems like he's basically trying to say "Vote for Pollievre and he'll make Canada the 51st state," which is... probably not helpful for Pierre's chances
That's one reasonable interpretation. Another is that he forgot what he was talking about halfway through the post and just started back into his 51st State rant.
No, the "cut taxes and increase the military" is part of his idea of becoming the 51st state, we would get the US taxes and US military (whether we like it or not). i.e. they dismantle our government and our healthcare and social services and their military occupies our country.
No, I’m pretty sure he thinks Canadians are going to write ‘Trump’ on the ballot. He’d never say anything that nice about another human that isn’t a dictator.
Oh he forgot to mention Canada would also get mass school shootings, millions of gun owners, underfunded education system and most of all a US style voting system, and Trump as their president. Wow, how can Canada not be overjoyed at the prospect!
All positives with no negatives?! LOL. Maybe Canadians would like to continue having healthcare and reliable infrastructure while also not having to deal with megalomaniac fascists. He should leave his grimy little fingers out of their election.
Does this Moron think that’s helping the conservatives. Go on Canada, vote Conservative. I dare you, it will be great being 51st state. Then you can all line up to kiss Trumps Ass.
Hey Republicans, are you paying attention? What just happened in Canada should be a warning for you. Everything Trump touches, dies. Your party (aka cult) is next. There’s still time to save yourselves. Remove him now.
Because I'm me, I checked population figures. Canada has around 40M. That's the same as California, the most populous US state. It's way bigger than a lot of the smaller US states. So why can't Canada become states 51 to 63? Bye bye Republicans.
I find it strange he emphasizes the “no borders” aspect when he originally placed tariffs in order to get them to help with border security to block the 0.2% of fentanyl coming across lol
He wants Canada because he realizes that all those tariffs on Canadian stuff, makes it way to expensave for the American people. And Canada, just like Greenland, has resources Trump likes/needs to have, but don't wanna pay for, especially with the tariffs on them.
No he wants Canada because he wants to have a legacy and the only legacy he cares about is territorial expansion. That's all it is to trump. He sees Canada Greenland and Panama as the three most likely places he can conquer.
Ya he's just a petulant child desperate to be remembered as mortality looms. And as a wannabe dictator/colonizer... His heroes are all people who have colonized or conquered places.... It's really pathetic. Beyond all description.
I mean he could push for giving our territories and DC statehood and add multiple stars to the flag but too many people who aren't white live in those places for his racist ass to ever do that
Nope, but we do appreciate him throwing that out there one more time just to make sure Canadians are reminded what we're voting to prevent happening in this election.
Judging by the PP supporters who harassed and intimidated people attending the Brantford Liberal rally while wearing Trump t-shirts, I'm guessing this is supporting the CONS
Given that 90% of all of Trump’s policies involve hostility towards foreigners, building walls, deporting people and so on, it’s quite funny to see him describe a border as an artificially drawn line from many years ago…
You can usually trace his weirder obsessions to a specific event or thing he saw on TV. Nobody has figured out the Canada thing. It’s not going to happen, if it did happen it would mean a huge Democratic majority in Congrss and it isn’t faux-patriotic enough to get him votes.
Completely understandable, I'm here arguing the same about Canadians. I meant it only in that Puerto Ricans under US rule don't get a federal vote, so why would Canadians?
I still think Canada should troll Trump right back and write up an agreement to join the USA with each province becoming a state. Then see what happens. That would mean at least 16 new Democratic Senators and the current states would lose House seats as they’re reallocated to Canada.
Any government that did that, even in jest, would lose a massive amount of support in Canada. I don't know how to explain how annoying "but the democrats would win!" is to Canadians. We are not American, we are not here to save you from yourselves & the dems are a right wing party by our standards.
I read that the reason he wants Greenland so much is basically just to add territory, make the US bigger. Not minerals, not for national security. I think that’s why he’s being so aggressive with all of our neighbors. Pure imperialism. No normal, logical reasoning applies with him.
While that makes no sense, I’ve read he’s made that comment more than a few times. I guess it makes some sense if all you know is property development. It’s a big vacant lot. Along those same lines, Canada is a going business concern, so why not make an offer to buy?
There are also some techbros who definitely have his ear and have talked about turning Greenland into a network society. The society, voting, mineral/fishing rights , etc would be grafted into a blockchain-based system that will create a libertarian utopia.
Maybe this was requested by PP so he could STRONGLY VOICE HIS OPPOSITION to Trump's Truth Social post via Twitter. You know, so we all see HOW OPPOSED PP IS TO TRUMP'S PLANS, showing Canadians how the politician in lockstep agreement with 99% of Trump's positions ISN'T LIKE TRUMP @ ALL! #desperate
Only a fascist would love these advices because it’s coming from a ruthless ruler who fired 100 thousands of federal employees and destroyed academic research and independence of dozens of universities and declared economic wars on hundreds countries in just first 100 days being in office.
no, no, it's because that would amount to interfererence in another country's election and as we all know, Donald Trump is a great respecter of norms 😶
Presumably endorsing Poilievre but also hurting Poilievre but mostly a sign that he’s grown impatient waiting for election results to renew his attacks on our sovereignty. #Canada go vote
No negatives? No rule of law, no free press, no health care, no right to choose, no retirement savings, no respect. Because it’s really, really hard to respect an America that stands by while this fool burns it down.
We’ve been a failed experiment in capitalism since the Gilded age. We just happened to recover briefly with some semblance of workers and consumer rights. They’re rapidly going down the drain now though :’)
I think we all have to keep saying how not normal this is. Truly bananas stuff here from a world leader who is clearly losing it. SAD! Please check the power of your crazy grandpa, America.
Like, does he hate the conservatives there or something? I genuinely don’t understand why is he still doing this other than “it’s fun to be a dick for no reason”
Canadians have paper ballots. Our best guess is he thinks we can write his name on the ballot and it’ll count. We can’t. It won’t
CBC, CTV, Global networks have called a liberal win, trump’s going to have to deal with Prime Minister Carney & he won’t like it
#Canada #Vote #ElectionDay #ElbowsUP
Nice try, but changing course in the last few months doesn't fool us. We know your agenda PP. You aren't the change we need.
Trump endorsed his maple Maga lap dog, Pierre Pollivere. He backed off anti Trump sentiment rose in Canada after the tariffs. Then he tried a “reverse psychology” move and said he liked Marc Carney.
We've been concerned about Chinese/Russian election interference for awhile now, but here's the POTUS directly interfering in our elections. It's blatant. We know who he wants to win, the slimy leader of the CONservative Party
The ramblings of a madman covering all his bases? Trying to remain relevant? Thinking if he is vague enough each side will think it’s about the other? One thing is clear, he is reiterating his intent to harm us
it's a joke about each of them accusing the other of being the unnamed man that Trump is saying Canadians should vote for, who will make Canada the 51st state. It's a joke about how neither of them want his endorsement
ffs, stop making me explain obvious jokes Eduardo. This isn't Threads
He seems to be making a point not endorsing any candidate by name. Everyone knows who he's backing, so why doesn't he come out and say it. Is he afraid of charges of election interference, or did Carney warn him off?
I don’t think he cares. Or remembers to care? The ties between the Conservative Party and the GOP are extensive. He was probably warned that saying anything would be seen as election interference.

I am just bewildered as to who he thinks he's endorsing.

But, we all know who he's endorsing.
Hoping for a big write-in movement, but shaky on his grasp of parliamentary systems...
Trump is deranged
Oh, like the US/Mexico border?
Fuck no.

Personally I’m going with he’s an extremely stupid bully.
Besides the late stage syphilis eating his brain, I mean.
Is he looking at the trade imbalance, or the amount we purchase from Canada or what?
For the truth about trade between 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 in the 21st century, here’s a great article.
https://economics.td.com/ca-canada-us-trade-balance
He's so fucking stupid.
I'd bet my right leg he doesn't know who Pierre Poilievre is
This should really help.
Appealing :)
He thinks Canadians worship Trump's America and want to be part of it.
Just let him keep talking allllll day.
I hope my letter finds you well. Don’t vote for any of this bullshit. Tell this Orange pile of melted shit to fuck off.
Sincerely,
One of the many people in the United States who isn’t a racist fascist moron
he 🥜🥜
#NeverPoilievre
Canada is a State.
An independent one, that wants nothing to do with being a part of the authoritarian tire fire of MAGA.
Our sovereignty isn’t negotiable.
The United States is a failed experiment in capitalism. A lot to most of us know it, but undoing 50 years of right wing bullshit takes time.
Choose your leaders wisely because we 🇺🇸 did not. 👇🏼
This deranged cannot be in the WH
No matter how
He ha as to go
I don’t think that’s how it works.
CBC, CTV, Global networks have called a liberal win, trump’s going to have to deal with Prime Minister Carney & he won’t like it
