True. I am very serious about thinking my President is a fucking moron for wanting to annex Canada.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 hours ago

It's one American in particular pushing it, so it's a bit funny to use plural, but yes, he means it.

Trump Always Chickens Out is a disastrous belief

It's really just a few of us, but they control the media and military so that sucks.

Even if we came willingly, the Republicans wouldn't really want another California.

Trump doesn't seem to get that's what it would be, though. Except also add a raging insurgency, which would most likely spread.

in the hypothetical case of an annexation there is no way Canada would get statehood. they would be just another puerto rico

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Depends on the hypothetical, I guess. We're already handwaving a lot of things.

Trump is rhetorically pretty specific about it being a new state.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Only the morons.

They've been this way since the BNA act, it's just how they are. (Technically longer but they wouldn't mess with Britain)

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

How can anyone take this article seriously after opening with this clear misinterpretation:

Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated he will return to the bargaining table “when the Americans start being serious.” How much more serious can the Americans be? The Americans have been very serious right from the beginning of Trump’s second term. Trump has constantly repeated 51ST state, governor of Canada statements and now Lake America.

I don't know about that article, but most of us don't want to annex Canada. Just a vocal minority and their demagogue jackass are blabbering endlessly about it.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

The Americans are very much not serious about annexing Canada in fact.

Best to be prepared anyway obviously, but no, the president is just talking shit, for leverage in other ways.

The only way it would work is if a sizable percent of canada wanted to join, and even then, it's doubtful, although finding an enclave that does support joining the US and then making a provocation to justify it is possible, as Russia did in South Ossentia in Georgia, that part of Moldova, and the Crimea. Or as hitler did in the sudentland in Czechoslovakia.

But that is doubtful, not the least as he's record unpopular, on the back foot with Iran and inflation, and looks like on old washed up bitch.

Get your gun license. I'm not kidding.

You don't have to own a gun. Just learn how they work so when push comes to shove, you'll be ready.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Aww, don't worry. We like the nice Americans just fine.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 79 points 19 hours ago (18 children)

If I go into Canada, it will be to fight on your side

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Same, TBH. I don't have a whole lot to lose, and I'm pretty serious about democracy and human rights.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 52 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

MAGA dipshits severely underestimate how many Canadians would actually enjoy taking a break from the rat race to repel invaders.

I'm American (unfortunately) and I want no part in annexing any country. I actually can't recall anyone else here who does... Well except big orange wrinkly pimples in DC.

Nah, they're not. Orange Fatass just wants you to stop talking about his 30 year relationship with the guy who sold child sex slaves.

Of course, Canada should still be prepared against psyops and whatnot, but Trump will never invade a NATO country.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 40 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

I’m 51 and would murder every single American that entered here and tried to take away my country, freedom and my family.

I’d die, but I’d hopefully murder a fuckload of yanks before that.
