Trump ‘definitively’ looking at Canada becoming U.S. state: Premier Furey
The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says he found it 'incredibly concerning' to hear senior staff from U.S. President Donald Trump’s office convey that the commander-in-chief is 'very serious' when he talks about annexing Canada.
I'm definitely serious about Scarlet Johansson sitting on my face. That's more likely to happen than Canada becoming part of the US.
Good pick
I'm no fighter, but he can just fucking try.
Fuck the US Government, everyone in it, and every citizen living under it.
Every single person in the US is either in full support of this nonsense, pretending like a petition or election is going to stop a "Fascist regime" from taking over, don't care as long as it isn't them, (edit) or chronically online ignoramus' who believe violence is the only solution because being a lazy cunt hasn't worked yet. Like always, we have to deal with their shit when it hits the fan because of proximity and I am sick of it.
It doesn't matter who is in power down there, Canadians always get fucked over by the US Government.
We need to completely disconnect from that country and close our borders to them. No more US Companies in our borders, no more trade, no more tourism, no more intelligence cooperation or military support, just a complete disconnect. Not until Trump is out, or the Democrats regain a little power, but indefinitely until the point when our ideologies actually align and the US can demonstrate they aren't a terrorist state masquerading as "Leader of the free world".
I don't think isolating ourselves from the only people that we can trade with without crossing an ocean is feasible, but we should certainly give nothing voluntarily.

I don't think proximity is a good enough excuse to do business with a hostile nation, especially in a world of technology that makes things like inter continental trade much easier. We have ports on both sides of our country, and negotiated trade deals, to reach these markets with further negotiations taking place as we speak.
Will it hurt? Yes.
Is that a reason to not disconnect from the USA? No.
This is a class war, don’t get it twisted. The working class in the US are a bulwark against that shit coming here.
By all means, fuck the Cheeto & large American corpos. But working class is working class. Don’t be selling us out to Loblaws just because you decided some farmer in Minnesota is to blame for the broken system they have down there.

Trump is dismantling the country piece by piece and no one is doing shit all to stop it, including and especially the working class. This is not a class war. This is the beginning of an Economic war which could escalate further because Trump intends to annex Canada.
This is the fault of every US citizen whether they voted for it or are currently standing by and letting it happen.

No, fuck all of them. Class doesn't matter here, every citizen of that country is responsible for this mess.
I haven't shopped at Loblows in almost 20 years and anyone who thinks shopping there supports Canadians is an ignoramus.
Farmers are not working class, the people who work on their farms are. They also voted for Trump in large numbers.
Every US citizen is responsible for the broken system. That is how Democracy works.

That’s false, I care, I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs for 25 fucking years now that the fascists were taking over while liberals were weak, ineffective controlled opposition in service to capital. That stupid march around with signs protests don’t matter. That we can’t vote our way out the system has been so corrupt for so long the only way out is [redacted] leading me to lose all of my corporate owned social media accounts.
I’ve been gaslit, mocked and ridiculed for my views. I’ve been told I’m an extremist. Most mainstream liberals are going to be whining about not having vegan gluten free options to the concentration camp guards if they’re not whining about their pronouns and other micro aggressions. Oh and this group needs trigger warnings for clapping and loud noises. We’re utterly fucked. The so called left in this country let whiny weak fucks run the show, too busy painting rainbows in the street, flying BLM flags and being snarky on Twitter to actually fucking do something effective!
Oh and if you do anything but suck the democrat party’s cock, balls and all, it’s your fault the fascists won. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Crying wolf for "25 fucking years" didn't help when a real Fascist came to town? Colour me shocked. I will add the vocal minority you belong to in an edit, stay tuned.

Have you considered leaving the corrupt system? Before you say "I can't because -insert excuse-" remember that people from countries where the state puts their life or family at risk pick up and leave to find something better. If the US is so bad, get on a raft and try for the UK.
I’ve been gaslit, mocked and ridiculed for my views.
Most people have, you aren't special.

You gave away your hidden right wing, and demonstrated clearly what made someone say you are an extremist. Kudos.

No, its your fault because you live in a Democracy and didn't do enough to prevent people with Fascist Ideologies from taking power. You cry on social media about people crying on social media instead of doing something actually effective like trying to educate voters on the other side about what is wrong with voting for that side, preferring to make calls to violence because that is all your ignorant brain can come up with.
You are the problem like the rest of your countrymen. Under educated, chronically online, and can never be the problem even though they are always the common denominator. Get your collective shit together.
If Trudeau was smart he'd go ahead and set up an Office for American Defectors, it's going to be busy and you want to get ahead of these things.
I'm one of those, unfortunately. I've been fighting for my right to exist in the US since I was 5 only to be "rewarded" with Pumpkin Spice Shitler and President Swasticar. I'm fucking exhausted, the US is a lost cause full of uneducated psychopaths.
Besides, I have lots of friends & community up here. Integrating with the local culture has been a breeze, everyone has been welcoming and I've been very much enjoying my time here.
I guess my point is that the people fleeing right now are not the people y'all should be worried about. Those are the sane ones who are beyond fed up with the US's bullshit, we are on the same page as you. It's the people who willingly stay behind that everyone should be afraid of.
Take anything a leader says seriously, and at full value. They represent a group, even if that group would rather they not do so, as they hold power to bring what they say at least a little closer to reality (or burn their constituency trying). Just because they say "oh, I'm just joking BTW" afterwards, doesn't mean that they weren't serious at the time and intended to do their best to make it reality before receiving backlash or something.
Anything Trump says should be treated as if he has already signed an executive order to make it happen. If he won't take responsibility for his own words, he should be made to by others, because words, even the most absurd and casually said ones, carry the power of office, and reveals at least a part of the leader's actual intent.
It is in not taking such words seriously that so many tragedies have happened over the course of history. These days, rhetoric is sounding eerily close to those said back in the 1930s, and I don't mean only those from one southern madman. Many of our own leaders spend all their time and effort deflecting and blaming others for their own failings.
Fail to learn from history, and you fail to prevent its repetition.
It's a fascist tactic, to sow confusion by "just joking" right up to the day when suddenly they're not just joking but pointing a gun at you.
“And [White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair] told us point blank, take the president seriously. Don’t dismiss it as humour.”
“That is a chilling comment coming from the president of the United States, the leader of our closest ally, our biggest trading partner,” he also said.
...
When asked whether he has any insight into Trump’s motivations for wanting to take over Canada after his conversations in Washington, Furey said he “didn’t do enough psychiatry in medical school to pretend to understand what motivates the president of the United States at this particular moment,” and called the latter an “erratic actor.”
