Trump, kindly go fuck yourself.
I specifically immigrated to Canada from America. I refuse to go back.
xmunk is ours now trump
Same. This eyeballing of Canada has me a little stressed out that my life will go back to being absolute shit and I won’t have healthcare or be happy.
xmunk’s a keeper, Trump. I won’t let you have them back!!!
Well, consider what would happen to elections if we join the US. We’d certainly not join as one state and our parties won’t just fold and disappear. The US political bus will swerve hard left by US standards with someone like AOC getting elected prez.
Reminder that the Canadian populace is about 1/10 of America’s.
If in some freak alternate timeline where we actually to get absolved into the States, we 100% lose all autonomy as Canadians and our political preference would be thrown to the wayside and completely outvoted.
Total population, sure, but it’s not like the states are divided by population. I’m not selling for a single state worth of representation. Electoral college is first past the post baby!
assuming Canada is a state and not a territory like Puerto Rico
Jokes on you. Canada is still in America

Canada can come down here and burn down the White House. Again.
I’ll provide the marshmallows.
Pretty sure that was the British
just looked it up, it was the british. in an operation led by (drumroll please): rear-admiral george cockburn. i didnt read further and now believe he incinerated the whitehouse with his power of dick rashes
There’s a great song about him called The Man who Burned the White House Down by David Rovics
It may come as a surprise for you, but Canadians were once mostly British
I prefer Elizabeth May’s invitation to California, Oregon and Washington.
USA can stay red, impoverished and ignorant. The adults in the room can get on with Nation Building.
Maybe BC would go there to form Cascadia.
ON and MB would join up with IL, MI, WL and MN.
Maritime Provinces & NL would go with New England.
Quebec would finally gain independence. And the territories would have to accept their new reality.
AB can fuck off.
I feel like I am forgetting one… whatever.
As an Alberta I resent the accuracy of your assessment…
I feel like I’m forgetting one… whatever.

The irony that if the reverse happened so much would actually improve for the ex-Americans, Canada, and most of the World.
Only the northern border and the coasts. The rest is pretty unfixable.
Utah can fuck off too. The mormons at least.
That beautiful land is wasted on them.
I volunteer Washington state as tribute!
East Coast to a point, before you hit the Carolinas would be where I’d draw the line.

In the past, Trump has accused Canada of accepting a $100-billion subsidy from the United States. It’s unclear exactly what he is referencing, but it may refer to the trade deficit between the two countries.
But on Tuesday, that purported $100-billion subsidy rose to $200 billion. CTVNews.ca has reached out to Trump’s media office to clarify what the $200-billion figure represents.
“I love the Canadian people, they’re great,” he said. “We’re spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. … We can’t do it forever.”
It sounds like what is going on here is, Trump is doing the normal Trump thing of starting with a conservative narrative (austerity, cutting off moochers) and brazenly lying about the state of the world to fill in the blanks of that narrative, knowing his supporters are happy to live in a fictional world, knowing he can’t be called out on it in a way that will matter, knowing that it will get people to continue paying attention to him.
It’s fascinating rhetoric if he is talking about the trade deficit. It really speaks to his habitual refusal to pay for products and services rendered.
He thinks paying for shit is for suckers.
The $200B, I assume, is a made up portion of US military budget “assigned for the protection of Canada”. Perhaps it is the value of Canadian auto/timber/dairy industry, not just exports, but I doubt it. It is a made up number nonetheless.
In other thread, while there is unanimity against 51st state idea, there is desperation among Canadians/politicians on staying the US empire’s bitch. He’s made the exact same threats against Europe. NATO kicking out the US and also joining SCO is the right move to isolate the demonic evil US empire’s reign of terror on the world and “its allies”. Clinging to being US’s colony by desperately increasing the level of sycophancy to its wars, is path to worse domination/subservience. The “freedom and democracy” rhetoric for subservience must stop immediately, because democracy is a complete joke. Israel first rule in US, and US first rule in colonies, is not functional politics.
Canada joining BRICS and SCO as a military alliance with protection from North Korea, Russia, China would eliminate the “US burden from protecting Canada”. Canada buying Michigan would protect auto industry. Offering Provincehood to any US states would allow those states to escape their crushing share of federal debt, and escape oppression that Trump wants to impose on them. World needs to move on from US empire, and shifting trade and military alliances would address Trump’s complaint about Canadian exports, or make them realize that Canada is far more useful as a bitch than independent.
If Canada were to be annexed into the United States, it would rank as the third most populous state, and the second largest in terms of GDP.
As it is the second largest country in the world, it’s size would be unmatched by any U.S. state. In length and girth.
Trump needs to shut the fuck up.
Trump must have visited bumfuck nowhere Alberta and extrapolated that to the rest of the country
Its almost as if nobody realised decades ago that putting all our eggs in one super nation state basket for world protection, a super nation that had been known to have Hollywood politics corrupt to its core, was a bad, bad idea…

Trump lied about anything and everything. It’s impossible to call him out on any of it because he is so good at creating these bullshit headlines. Inflation, Ukraine, healthcare, abortion, doesn’t matter, if he needed to say something in the campaign to win he said it.
Now in a short time, we will know what he is actually up to, but for now, he generate so much bullshit that becomes a cls command. The media, headlines, social, all his bullshit. Everything he said before, cleared off the screen (front page).
The man is an literal technocrat with extreme skill: Techno: skill Crat: power
He has everyone wrapped around his finger. Well played Mofo.

CTV news is part of bell Canada, it’s not government funded.
Well thats worse
Edit: you do see how that’s worse, right?

I received a $400 cheque from the Alberta government one time. Feels good to be government funded!
That’s exactly what a government funded shill would say!
WHY DID RALPH SEND YOU?
I don’t think that assertion is true, so I did some quick googling.
For example PostMedia received 35 million in government funds in 2021 according to pressprogress
Searching through Government of Canada Grants and Contributions you can find lots of public funds. here
My two cents, if it very important we as a society publicly fund Canadian news organizations to help keep them, fair, balanced and, trustworthy as it can be from both sides of the spectrum.

For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case
Considering nobody said anything about the “far right” I can only conclude you’re not interested in listening to what people are actually saying and are just screaming from your soap box.
Lol I’m so glad you’re not in a position to articulate policy directions on my behalf. Holy freaking god. Our education system. It just…failed you.

I’m a little confused who you are talking to and the points you are trying to make.
My statement was a rebuke of your assertion that only left leaning media gets public funds, of which I think I showed wasn’t true.
For the record there is such a thing as the far-right just like there is such a thing as the far-left.
It’s also amusing you complain about childish name calling and then proceed to do just that.
Not worth talking to them. They’re either deliberately trolling or incapable of coherent thought, or both.
Well they got banned so I guess I don’t have to worry about that anymore. lol
I don’t engage with them often, and I’ll admit it can be frustrating. I’m making a conscious effort to connect with people who hold different ideas or worldviews, Like a new years resolution.
They do have to “agree” to meet in reality though.
For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case

“They don’t criticize Trudeau, and if someone instantly shows I’m wrong, well, that doesn’t count!” -You, a very serious person.
There isn’t a news outlet in Canada that isn’t government-subsidized in some shape or form by that measure. Even non-profits are, via direct tax exemptions, or tax exemptions given to their donors.
What are we smoking that CTV is government-funded? Or is it lack of reading past the title? Because last I checked Bell Media isn’t the Canadian government.
What news websites would you recommend for Canadian news that have not received government funding?

Government funded news is more trustworthy than that rag.
Damn I missed the notification for this, and now the comment is deleted. Even though mine was a rhetorical question I was still morbidly curious what sort of garbage this troll was consuming.
