  1. Yeah we’re gonna spend millions of dollars kicking out like 75 immigrants just so we can assimilate 40 million immigrants overnight

  2. Article 5 of the treaty with NATO states if one NATO country attacks another NATO country it is considered an attack against all of NATO.

  3. How about Trump you fix problems in USA, instead of trying to take over other countries

  4. It’s one of the things about the Trumpian behavior – say something outrageous. If it works out – it was all part of a master plan. If it doesn’t work out – try to play it off as only joking. If it backfires – double down with something even more outrageous. It’s bullying behavior 100%.

    Trudeau is absolutely correct that it should be taken seriously. Giving a shitheel like the Trumpanzee any benefit of the doubt is exactly why we are in this mess right now.

  5. It’s Trump being Schrödinger’s asshole.

    He’s both 100% serious and 100% joking depending on the reception of the dumb shit he says. MAGA seemed to respond positively, so it seems to have collapsed into the real thing.

  6. Disappointed, but not surprised. We have gone far too long not taking the out of pocket things he says seriously.

  7. Where are all the people who were screaming “kAmAlA iS gOnNa sTaRt wOrLd wAr tHrEe!!!!”

  8. Canada being a US state (if it is only 1) is just a horrifically bad idea on so many levels:

    – Extreme underrepresentation in the Senate

    – More guns = more deaths, suicide and homicide

    – Private healthcare is a cost borne by the unfortunate sick people, especially those who can’t work

    – Social Security is facing some kind of solvency crisis that is extremely well known because it is a pyramid scheme. Canada Pension Plan doesn’t have those problems because of overfunding and little benefits. This means we would try to bail out the Americans, but because we are so much smaller, we can’t save them

    – Chaos in Quebec as the culture is derived from French culture. I don’t think there would be enough federal employees fluent in French to provide services (think IRS, SSA, FBI, etc…) in that language

  9. Trump is too busy checking under skirts for dinks to invade anything. I’d suggest he go fuck himself, but he’d have to find it first.

  10. Whether it’s bullshit or not doesn’t matter, it’s coming from the mouth of the POTUS and should be treated like a real threat.

    Hell this shit should be unacceptable if it was coming from the Whitehouse janitor let alone the President.

  11. I remember saying Canada needs nukes as a deterrent and got down voted to hell. I still stand by that believe and it hasn’t waiver for a moment. The threat is real and bullies only respect one thing. Pretty sure we’d have to change our laws but the world has taken a dangerous turn. Bring on the downvotes

  12. The thing that gets me the most is the severity of the situation. OBVIOUSLY you can’t just annex a sovereign country, so that implies other methods

  13. As a middle aged average Canadian civilian, if the US were to invade Canada, or even Mexico or Greenland, what sort of practical way could I support our nation or any other defending nation?

  14. If Trump tried to take Canada by force and Canada was willing to put up a fight I see a very real possibility of a few states seceding, and the US being left in complete shambles.

  15. Don’t ppl understand that he speaks and then it’s made real.

    That’s what happened first term and now much worse in second.

  16. Europeans I have a question.

    If the unthinkable happens and the United states tries to take Canada be force, would Europe help Canada defend itself? I’d like to think we wouldn’t be alone, but please reassure my anxious Canadian ass.

  17. Hey Canadians, a real question. How does that make you feel? I’m genuinely curious to know.

  18. As an American citizen, when we notice members of the family and community and nation exhibiting these levels of chaos and manic behavior, we call in the professionals to help guide that individual through their crisis. That is usually the sane and kind thing to do. For us and for that person. We cannot make sense of their comprehension of reality because it is just not the same as ours. To us, it is bewildering and stressful.

  19. Of course he means it. He’s just hoping nobody takes him seriously. Good for Trudeau, taking an appropriately alarmed stance in the face of greedy aggression.

  20. Google “Technate of America” and you’ll get an idea of why Trump (and Musk) want Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and parts of the Caribbean.

    Joshua Haldeman was the leader of the Technocracy movement in Canada. In 1948 he became a father to twins Maye and Kaye. In 1970, Maye Haldeman married a man named Errol Musk and they had a child in 1971 called Elon.

  21. Lot of Americans are gonna die horrible deaths if this happens. Be fucking warned.

  22. MAGA: Why are we sending money to Ukraine? We need to focus and invest in America.

    *Also MAGA*

    MAGA: We need to take over Canada cuz we’ll be stronger from it.

  23. Everyone better have a victory garden this year.

  24. > Trudeau said Canada can use the 30-day extension to show U.S. officials the country’s increased spending on border security. Canada has announced a $1.3 billion Canadian dollars ($900 million) border security plan that includes drones, helicopters, more border guards and the creation of a joint task force.

    What a goddamned massive waste of time, money, and effort just to appease the ego of one asshole.

    Speaking as an American, I hope both Canada and Mexico screw this country hard. A lesson needs to be learned here. A ridiculous number of Americans have grown far too comfortable and complacent in their belief in our global dominance and those idiots are about to get the wake up of a life time.

  25. So maybe the rest of the world could show us some support.

  26. Obligatory reverse Uno card.
    Sorry Canada.
    Sorry if you get dragged into this bullshit clown show. I didn’t vote that way. Can I still come visit?

  27. Can I just just say how much I hate this is even being talked about? Glad to see Trudeau isnt putting up with it. As a US citizen, I will fight FOR Canada if this bullshit goes forward. The Orange Turd needs to go!!

    I did not Fuck Around, why am I having to Find Out?! (FAFO) 😫
