  1. America is a rogue state with less credibility than Iran or North Korea.

  2. Why does Canada have to be the 51st state?

    Couldn’t Trump just offer up America as Canada’s 11th territory? You know, like he offered his mouth to service Putin’s cock?

  3. If Trump or any of his team bring up the 51st state crap the PM should just stand up and say “We’re done here”, and then leave.

  4. What’s funny is Americans just told a recent poll that they believe Canadians are their best allies. It will be an awkward realization when they realize Canadians no longer have support partner with the USA. It looks like virtually every democracy is choosing the same.

  5. Tuesday would be a good day to announce the completion of our own Nuclear Weapons from Chalk River materials

  6. “Eissenstat’s advice to Carney is pragmatism over emotions.”

    That sounds an awful lot like before when the whole tariff thing began and they tried to advise the world to just accept Trump’s bullshit and not antagonize him.

    Here’s my advice: how about you and your president fuck right off? 

  7. Same old thing being repeated over and over and over again. Many times every day…gets boring.

  8. So my Dustbuster/ stick vacuum needs replacing and I checked price on amazon. The one of interest is 199 on the amazon Canada site and 350 on the American amazon site . Who’s paying the tariffs again?

  9. Carney should state that any mention of Canada being part of USA during any discussion or press conference would immediately halt dialogue. Trump would not be able to help himself.

  10. Just cancel the visit. Talk to him when he can go a month without disparaging our sovereignty.

  11. PM Carney is a smart man, he’s taking all of his cards with him. He may not show them all but he’s got em with him.

  12. He’s lost control of his own country. Why would Canadians worry about a clown threatening them who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit his orange ass. His tactics are so lame. The American public would simply not stand for it. In reality, 35% of the population is dumb enough to follow him. He’s more likely to be impeached than attack Canada. And he’s running out of time. The senate is going to neuter him like the mad dog he is. Captain crazy pants strikes again. 😂

  13. Live in Canada. Voted conservative. I do not consider these comments credible as “threats”. Please no one jump down my throat I think the rhetoric is disgusting and I’m glad to see Canadians largely united together around this. These are comments not threats and I do think the distinction matters. The day troops are organizing large exercises close to the border along the border they become legitimate threats.

  14. I smile knowing that I’ve radically modified my spending habits and have reduced US purchases to almost $0.

    Should’ve done it a long long time ago.

  15. I can’t wait for Carney to put Trump in his place. No way this shit flies on Tuesday

  16. Of course Canada could just start requiring travel visas from Americans and not allowing them to hunt or fish here anymore or own homes/property? I feel some of that would very much hurt.

  17. Obvious issues aside- Wouldn’t it be the 51st- 56th or someplace. Maybe create a Nations country to give less land. Sell some land to Greenland?

  18. Is anyone else a little nervous about him physically going to the states?

    I hope he wears gloves when JD Vance offers to shake his hand…

  19. My general impression of this is that as bumbling as he and his administration seem, they would realize that attempting the annexation of Canada or Greenland, regardless of the means, would be a complete backfiring disaster for everyone involved, if the idea was to do it in a single presidential term.

    The thing i dont like, if anything, is that he’s normalizing these kinds of ideas for future administrations and the American public (even if most wouldn’t approve of it at any point, i think a frog can still be boiled to accept the worst of conditions).

    So I think this could be the start of something that might be executable over a larger timeframe. The bad news to me is that it seems possible, the good news is we have some time, time to prepare, time for other factors to play out that would prevent this from continuing.

  20. I wish one of the brain dead journalists would ask him why he wants Canada to be the 51st State if he has also said he doesn’t want anything from Canada; no electricity, no lumber, no car parts.

  21. Were I Canadian given what I have observed about Mark “Big Daddy” Carney (( heard that is his new nickname although he apparently does not like it) I would have no worries. Carney is not a push over. I think Carney has assessed Trump to be an individual of low intellect with a motor mouth so he will cut Trump some slack on his verboseness but in context of actual action Carney will be hard.

  22. Threading the needle on how to very simply explain how the nature of global capitalism means the US had a very good thing going w/r/t accessing Canada’s resources and markets until all this bullshit started, while also flattering this moron’s ego by giving him the credit when he re-litigates the terms of the same CUSMA agreement he signed five years ago… well, thank goodness it’s Carney.

  23. lol all this talk about Canadian election focusing on electing the person that would deal with trump the best. What a joke. Trump will do what he will do he doesn’t care who’s the Canadian “leader is he will say and do whataver he wants.
