On the CBC this afternoon was a 🇨🇦 immigration lawyer giving tips on how to safely cross the border. Conclusion - there is no guaranteed way to safely cross the border with US border services and ICE. Cross at your own risk. Canada needs to strengthen ties with reliable allies. ❤️🇨🇦
Don’t waste your time in the U.S.
Cruelty and ignorance is what awaits you. Not worth it.
I didn’t vote for the orange hitler. I hate everything about him. Mostly that he’s breathing.
I’m not shocked. Most of the free world lives in the 21st century and has OPTIONS. They can seek respectful partners and not consort with assorted nazis, alcoholics, rapists, morons and DUI hires
Meanwhile bill ackerman is begging countries to make deals. Maybe the penguins will send their ambassador. The penguins will be in black tie formal attire so that should send a signal.
The rest of the world should shun us! Do not visit the US, boycott US products, support Canada, Panama, and Greenland—just ignore us as much as possible.
Definitely ignore 47, I'm convinced that much of this chaos is to keep the attention on himself
& being ignored would be the worst punishment the world could put on him while the wisest move for their own serenity and stability.
Oh, but you're already at 3rd world status. You have a dictator, your government is corrupt, you have a Stasi to 'disappear' people, who speak up against your "King". Your economy is tanking, your leader(s) are controlled by Russia, the deals you make are not being honored. Basic 3rd world behavior!
And that’s before we even get into their lack of education, healthcare, clean water, infrastructure etc. Not to mention their poor life expectancy and shocking maternal and infant mortality stats.
That's exactly the way forward. Cut reliance on the US as it has proven unreliable. The countries Trump wants to punish should work to trade among each other to replace the US as a trading partner. t
As an American i am sooo embarrassed ..for those of us who didn’t vote for the Orange turd …i support your decision Canada … 🍁 Wish i could move to Quebec 💕
The current economic and social policy of the United States is that of a third-world country: oligarchic, petty, closed-minded, religiously fanatical, and abusive toward those weaker than themselves.
This will continue until people wake the fuck up you are not going to have freedom handed to you on a silver platter it isn't free and it has to be fought for and bled for but sure keep being apathetic and standing by...
The current/former British West Indies are down. Don't forget it was former Carib'n territories who pressured the USA to let Canada in OAS. The US at the time didn't want to let Canada in due to fear the U.K. could get veto power (via Canada) in the OAS. The Caribbean pressured USA to let Canada in
JUST THINK IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS, EVERYONE WAS WARNED BUT THIS IS NEARLY ON TRACK WITH ADOLF HITLER
I HOPE THE REPUBLICANS CAVE TO THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED THEM. AND THE JUDICIAL BRANCH HOLDS. EVERYONE MUST
RISE UP AND PROTEST AS WELL AS DO WHAT EVER IS NECESSARY.
To be the leader of the western nations you need integrity power and influence.
Trump has removed all those requirements.
Canada, Australia, UK and the EU now have the influence and integrity and they will build a powerful military base over the coming years without US made weapons.
Nathan's right, but I take your point. The important thing is to look after the people first. And that is where Canada, Australia and rest of world can set the example. We've been streets ahead of US in that department for decades.
Not a chance. The US still has its military industrial complex, as do Russia and China. none of us are safe from American, Russian or Chinese interference if we don't rearm
If the military-industrial complexes of our potential adversaries (which now has to include the US) cease to exist then sure we can find a new way forward.
But absent that, we're going to see a global arms race with the US reverting to isolationism. I'm just praying nuclear non-proliferation holds
Nobody can win a nuclear war, who wants contaminated lands/continents for centuries with piles of dead bodies and cities totally devastated.
Nuclear war can only be a threat.
All are welcome who share our values of Rule of law, humanitarian law, international law, human rights, empathy, compassion, international aid, being a good neighbour, upholding trade agreements, treating a friend like a friend, treating all as equals, acknowledging that history is history.
Us Europeans welcome being lead by Canadians. They were one of the first along with Australia to help Europe in it's most dire need. We do not forget! Europeans remember and we value our cultural alignments.
Plus we welcome all good people no matter what! We are open, not nationalistic.
The US did too but they have forgotten who they are and have an ugly underbelly that wants to drag the whole country down therefore the ass Orange clown. If they would remember who they are they would correct their situation. The land of the free needs to free themselves.
We're waiting to see signs of that. The US definitely has a history of demonstrating for what's right like the Civil Rights movements and Vietnam. But post Reagan, not so much.
Maybe Americans can find their inner self SOON, because apathy won't serve here.
Unfortunately it's likely too late now. No one has any trust left and the orange gorilla (apologies to the real gorillas) has zero predictability and is off the rails. Can't just fix that with the snap of a finger or a magic wand.
The only way out of this for the people on this land mass is to secede and go it alone(California and the west coast for instance) or to coalition with states in their region (great lakes region for instance)
I do not live there, thankfully, so I cannot really comment on how you can turn it around, but running to Canada to ride on our coattails isn't going to help anyone.
Nobody is running to anyone. Both Canada and Europe are finding a way out of decades worth of leaning on the US. The US cannot be trusted anymore (as many leaders have said), and now it's a new era. A new economic force led by Europe with power like Canada etc.
This is not a shocking announcement. Our PM would be incompetent if he was not looking for other markets and trade partners we can rely on. Good thing for Canada that Carney has run a few world banks and is likely the strongest, and most well equipped world leader to handle our current situation!
While Carney takes a lead role in a new world financial order all Pollievere has is to renegotiate a trade deal with the US. He wants to go hat in hand to the same administration threatening to invade us.
Surprise, surprise....
Other countries don't want to deal with a mushroom-penis head with a dictator complex either.
The world moves on to do better and be better.
When it comes to international sporting events, you’ll be surprised at how many Americans will be siding with our Canadian brothers & sisters, even though you understandably want (need?) to disown us.
I’m sure we’ll be back but it is much easier to destroy a rep than to build one…much less rebuild.
Please keep in mind that it was directed to your current president…NOT the American public. We appreciate you want change from the felon and we wish you success! We don’t know what future relations will be like, we can just hope for the best! Good luck!!🤞🏻
If you want to know how serious PM Carney is about this Google how he saved Canada during the 2008 financial crisis. Then Google how he directed England through the worst of Brexit.
Then you'll know exactly why the US no longer rules and Canada has moved into play.
We are united. We’re fair & true to our word. We stand up for & beside our friends. We are kind & always ready to help those in need. But we don’t take crap. Canada is the best trade partner & ally any country could ever ask for & one day in the future the US will realize what they lost.
The U.K. would have been so much worse off during the Brexit / Covid years if it weren’t for Carney. He even extended tenure to see us through.
Eyes on him now.
I've had a few people from England tell me how Carney steadied the ship. I'm grateful he stepped forward to guide us towards a stronger, prosperous future.
He is the right person for the job. As long as Canadians don’t get sucked into the disinformation. No one else is better suited for the fight ahead than him!
This exactly the right move. Go around trump he wants everyone to go crawling to him to show how strong he is! F@ck trump we’ll find a way with out them! This old batshit crazy man is destroying his own people and country!
To be completely honest, the world will be a better place if Canada takes the lead… and I’m an American. We have a severe idiot issue here we’re battling that makes things too volatile. It’s exhausting and embarrassing. It would be easier to leave but I stay just to spite them. I ain’t no quitter!
This is a part of the plan for Project 2025. Dismantle the government, destabilize the economy, and give the president unchecked power. Destroy democracy from within.
Is Trump’s resume there? I imagine it has a 5 year old’s drawing of some houses and “I aced a cog nit iv tessed better than anyone, Ever!!!) in crayon.
From Oxford no less. With a bachelor’s at Harvard!
We had a Brexity conman politician who famously said “the public have had enough of experts”. Now I know exactly who he was lying about!
😆 seriously though, can you believe that mf'er said that about the poor man they deported!?
My Q? is: if you can send them on a plane, you can send a plane to pick them up, yes?
The US will end up being a nation with idiots at the helm and all that firepower and nuclear button at their disposal. They are treating it like a computer game.
Oligarchy is easier when the people are comparitively poorer. Trump's plan is in motion just like he, or at least the people holding on to the pee tapes, wants.
Here's to the Commonwealth! Canada has been trying for some time to put together a Pacific Rim trade agreement. I assume Australia and New Zealand could be included in that. Call your MP and tell them you'd support such a trade agreement.
It's called the CPTPP and it already exists. I am constantly amazed that Canadians seem never to have heard of it, not least because they keep falling foul of imposing tariffs against its rules.
He has created the void. When Americans root for other countries to cut their ties with the US it’s bad. Too many of our own citizens contributed to the downfall of our country. Trump needs boundaries. He needs prosecution. We’ve failed to make this happen.
F-47 doesn't know how to be a true friend. He knows how to hang out and plot with fellow hoodlums; the kind that wind up in prison or shunned from society. No surprise that
he's alienated the US from the world.
is this what ologarchies wnted? I doubt it. Who will buy their products now? Won't be Canada. Nor Mexico. Nor ... anyone. Do they think Russia will bail them out?
Mr Carney has the chops to financially manage that, in a Country currently teeming with national pride. I would not bet on this opportunity being wasted.
How many other non-authoritarian democracies grant their president the same broad, unilateral authority, and frequent use, of executive orders as the US does? Congress should reassert its constitutional role by passing laws that limit the president’s power to issue most forms of executive orders.
It will happen as well! Canada is a rich nation respected around the globe! Carney has the intelligence respect and background to do this! Final straw….Trump is despised globally!
The response to Trump (practically) closing up should be others open up.
Create a North Atlantic open market zone with EU, Canada, UK. Completely open markets for goods and services, capital, labor. Single currency. Consistent regulations.
Bible belt states are already third-world states dragging the rest of the country down to their level of education and economics. They put their fantasy god ahead of reality, and people get hurt.
The US blue states should make their own trade agreements with Canada and Mexico and leave these dumbass red states in the dust. Let them have their own country called Dumbtrumpfuckistan.
I'm in an apartment but my window was big enough to hand a bigger flag vertically. Went up over a month ago, I have a Ukrainian and Provincial flag, but limited space.
❤️🇨🇦
Right wingers in the US gave the "Freedom Convoy" a lot of support. Faux News gave it a lot of coverage and tried, unsuccessfully, to start them in the US.
Do it Canada!!! The sane ones trapped here in the U.S. 100% stand with YOU! Will take the pain so that the MAGAs learn your lesson. I still believe Elon and Russia rigged. The election of Trump is illigitimate should that ever be proven? I hope all of you will forgive us for what has happened. 💔
There have always been conservative governments that have occasionally caused some unrest. But this administration has lost all trust because it acts solely according to the dictates of the Heritage Foundation. America no longer has a president, just a puppet. American Taliban.🤷
Ww in Australia support Canada and if invited l am sure we'd join a coalition with Canada, Europe, UK, New Zealand, China and other nations believing in free trade without tariff barriers
As our PM said "the tariffs are not the action of a friend"
Unfortunately the UK got suckered into separating from the EU and the current government has vowed to carry on with this, so the UK gov cannot be said to believe in free trade without barriers, unfortunately
I think it is a good idea for countries to build relationships without the USA. This recent series of events in Trumpland has demonstrated how bad it is to 'put all your eggs in one basket' or otherwise put too much faith in another country.
If you look at wages vs prices, the cost of living, education, healthcare, and satisfaction with the state of the country, we're already a 3rd world nation.
Most of us do, but it’s important to reflect that the problems the US are facing now are brought about by issues the entire world face, greed, apathy, poverty, religion, otherism all pushed over the edge by strategic propaganda and policy designed to breed fear, fight that wherever you are now❤️
Same here:) Canada is lucky in a way to be able to watch how this happens and hopefully avoid the same fate but the struggle is real we have 1 possibly 2 provincial leaders that are aligned with maga 🤦🏼♀️
Tbh, the USA were a 2nd Class nation before Turdov usurped the WH.
Now we have to implement the terms for a "4th Class Nation" which are like "technologically advanced but worse than Russia and Burkina Faso rolled into one".
I know, right? We expected Britain to take the lead and step up for Canada and the free world but Starmer has been a major disappointment to Britain’s best friend Canada, and to the free world.
The leader of the Commonwealth is more interested in appeasing the conman than leading. Sadly too many Brits were full of the uglies that are eating the souls of Republicans. They got Brexit and the US got Trump and Musk
He's trying the same appeasement strategy that Chamberlain tried with Hitler. We all know that it didn't end up well then, and it will not end up well now. There's no dignity left in this Labour government
I watched a programme recently (can't remember what it was) and it said that although Chamberlain was trying to appease, it also gave us time to arm ourselves, as we weren't in a position to go to war at that time. By the time Churchill took over, our army and defences had been built up.....
I don't see how it gave us time. The war started as soon as Hitler invaded Poland, which happened after Hitler agreed with Russia how to distribute its territory. Chamberlain's paper didn't have any influence there.
My history knowledge is (shamefully) bad.
Just checked out timelines. We declared war on 3 Sept 1939 (Chamberlain), and Churchill takes over on 10 May 1940. His appeasement period seems to be 1938/39?
The appeasement period was between the German invasion of the Suddettes in the then Czechoslovaquia and the invasion of Poland, when we declared war. We were not prepared then and we are not prepared now for a trade war
ND & MT farmers have made a LOT of money growing lentils, field peas, durum, chickpeas, and Hard Red Spring Wheat for the China market.
That went away this morning.
Guess what farmers in southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, & Manitoba are thinking.
@albomp.bsky.social could do with some of the smarts and courage of Canadian PM instead of the usual #RollOverAlbo. AUKUS is a risk to our national security with Trump behind the Military wheel.
This is what leadership looks like. Carney is wasting no time taking the initiative to ensure Canada remains on a track to improve the life of Canadians. I hope Canadians have the sense to elect him as their full term Prime Minister and do not fall prey to the lies of a Trump wannabe.

Americans are feeling the effects of this too. I am not sure why I am getting the blame for something an asshole running the country did. I am not Trump.
I did not vote for the asshole nor have I ever. Kamala would not have been my first choice but I could never regardless of who was on the ballot ever vote for the most despicable piece of shit to ever run for public office in the US.
True, by most standards it is a failing democracy and we can thank the Republican Party and Maga for that. Trump is living a fever dream that has motivated him to be president for the past 40 years. Imagine finding yourself in a position where you can create a world to be exactly how you want.
As has been pointed out to me. By several American citizens. The United States of America is not a Democracy. But a Constitutional Republic.
What limited democracy you do have. Is vastly being Eroded by trumpism.
The Republican Electorate must take full responsibility.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
If Canada will have us, I believe it may be time for the good people of America start thinking of emigrating to our neighbor up north. We are witnessing a deliberate effort to destroy America. And in short order Trump is close to reaching that goal in his first hundred days.
I keep seeing your posts so I guess I'll have to follow you.
I'm also Trekkie to the core, woman in my 60s AND

We plan to stay here, but I DO have a fantasy of becoming South Canada
Which would make us CA, CA so I guess we'd need a name change😜
Most Americans who aren’t mesmerized by Trump’s vulgar lies feel the same way as most Canadians. We are as angry as you are. At least, you have the chance to elect an intelligence, responsible adult who understands and respects the complexities of governing. We, unfortunately, are stuck with a moron
I'm not staying in this shithole I have a trans gf. This stupid country and its braindead leaders are not my responsibility. If california doesn't secede, we're leaving.
America has been 3rd world for a very long time .. I’ve been to 63 counties many true 3rd world and we are behind them .. America has become the very shit hole Dump called others …
I honestly think the world cut us some slack with 45 and thought we'd returned to our senses with 46, but when we re-elected a criminal and they see how Congress cheers from the sidelines while he does permanent, unrecoverable damage, they rightly are abandoning us.

Originally 1st world nations were those in USA’s orbit, 2nd world ones were in that of USSR, and the rest were the 3rd world.
By that taxonomy, USA will always be 1st world.

America can consume itself until nothing is left.

US debt is a massive problem when Japan and China hold huge US debt bonds.
Russia had huge stockpiles of cold war weapons and now they've depleted those stockpiles fighting Afghanistan and Ukraine.
But absent that, we're going to see a global arms race with the US reverting to isolationism. I'm just praying nuclear non-proliferation holds
Nuclear war can only be a threat.

I totally agree with everything you have expressed here.

But giving up isn't how things were ever achieved during the history of humanity.

I don't think that things are going the way that Putin, Trump and the Republicrooks planned it.
I like that!
Not a scientist, academic, professor, doctor, lawyer, nurse, or other sought-after professional.
But.
I'm nice; do my part to protect the environment & my fellow humans; & am rooting for Canada & EU to whoop this administration's ass. Daily.
Is that enough?
I'd happily try to brave it if I could be part of a society that values intelligence, kindness, human rights, and honesty.
And I do my part locally, and within my state, but hate & ignorance STILL won.
It's disheartening to work to overcome those negativities, and have so much optimism, only to be crushed by fear and stupidity.
I'll continue to fight. And create a potentially necessary plan b.

Agreement.
You’ll need a degree. And a job offer. And work in one of the long list of professions.
But it is very easy and takes minutes to process at the airport border crossing.
