I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the Quรฉbec-Windsor corridor.

I think Ontario has already paused the Export tax unfortunately. But I would absolutely call his bluff. An attack on Canada would mean a full-blown article 5 crisis before Trump has all of the cards that he wants. While he might be that stupid. Others in his administration aren't.

Just in case, a good show from Carney would be to deploy the military to the area because of an increased threat of terrorism.

He canโ€™t attack a nato member

[โ€“] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 27 points 9 hours ago

What Trump can or can't do is absolutely meaningless to him. He doesn't care. Chaos is the point.

[โ€“] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 hours ago

Legally, no. But why should he follow the rules when he's gotten off for every other crime he's committed?

[โ€“] villasv@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

Yes, but actually maybe

[โ€“] ThatGiantDynamo@feddit.uk 1 points 46 minutes ago

He'll pull out of NATO 5 minutes before his troops cross the border

[โ€“] CircaV@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 hours ago

Then itโ€™ll be FLQ 2 electric boogaloo

Heโ€™s just like Putin, he wonโ€™t do shit.

Won't do anything except invade your country while commiting human rights violations for years?

[โ€“] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 hours ago

I mean, the US has been a major violator of human rights for...decades? Longer? Since it's inception possibly? I mean just look at their prison system. Or the whole Guantanamo thing. Or the ICE concentration camps.

As a Canadian, I do not want to be at the center of a stupid war. I like to hope we got more intelligent in the last 100 years but seeing how many people want bloodshed sure isn't a great sign.

[โ€“] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

The issue isn't so much that most Canadians don't like war, it's that war is on our doorstep and all the efforts we've made to avoid it haven't worked.

I know a couple of men who can't be reasoned with or cajoled into doing what's right. They're the type who will murder someone because they felt offended.

That's what Trump is like as well. There is no half-way, no compromise. It's his way or the highway. So essentially we have little to no choice in the matter. We either fight or we become the 51st state (or more likely a territory that has zero say in gov't but who are taxed like they do).

And that's the mindset that drives wars. Misdirected anger. We aren't mad at the average american, not even their soldiers.

Who do you think wins? The soldiers that have been martyred on either side? Or the sociopath sitting beside the fire chuckling at the chaos they manifested?

Nobody wants bloodshed, but if the US brings it, we will make sure there is as much American blood spilled as possible.

Thats war. Nobody wants war, but if you bring it to our soil we will fight. That simple.

[โ€“] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Im pretty sure Putin did shit.
