No one wants to be america. People want to be human beings that are able live as human beings. People don't want to be pawns to a machine that sucks humanity and souls from living bodies.

80-year-old angsty teen... how can anyone take this man child seriously?

We don't want to be the 51st state. The idea repulses us, actually.

Elbows up, guys!

We like our women with bodily autonomy and with the right to choose.

We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.

We like our heads of state to be respectful and respected on the world stage.

We like our right to privacy without surveillance, and our civil servants free from Krasnov’s oligarchs.

Most importantly, we like our beer to be unshittified!

Sincerely,

The Canadians who haven't already fallen victim to your propaganda.

-We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.

Maybe you should tell our universities, corporations and the RCMP about this.

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 QuΓ©bec-Windsor corridor.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

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.

So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??

Wow

[–] wampus@lemmy.ca 25 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Russia's objective isn't tariffs -- it's to splinter/decouple international coordination and cooperation amongst western nations.

So, yeah. The faster Trump can accelerate that, the happier his boss'll be.

Like the buy[local] type campaigns are most likely getting a bit of a bump from Russian propaganda agents -- even if they are 'real' sentiments to some extent too.

What’s that flushing sound I hear? Oh, it’s just the US economy.

Narcissistic abuser tactics, as usual. "I'll be so good to you, babe, the ~~beatings~~ tariffs will stop if you become my ~~wife~~ 51st state."

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 27 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA,

My company:

Has two shops 1 in Canada and 1 in the US; US shop now solely handles all American related jobs while Canada handles any job globally, besides the US.

Real smart play here ol trump

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 23 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

This broadcasts his insecurities about being clueless how the economy or anything works, and has surrounded himself with yes men idiots that can't even bail him out of this hole he dug himself. A big tell is he is so pissed he is giving them over 4 wks to lift their electricity premium.

As an American I say Canada should just go the "we don't bargain with terrorists" approach and just cut the electric today. Call the bully's bluff.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Sad thing is is Ontario has already taken the surcharge away, because he is going down to DC to get the shake down.

I hope he comes back and just turns the power off.

What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?

EDIT: This site seems to cover a lot of the benefits gained and what protections are in place to limit overreach, but given the current state of affairs I can’t imagine why Congress would reign in the abuse.

When is this fat fuck gonna get it through his head that we will never be a part of the US, and there's nothing he can do about it?

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Trump is desperate to be a part of Canada, huh?

[–] Slayan@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 hours ago

Someone else said musk is prob forcing him to do it because he want to be the next president. Since he has canadian nationality he'll be able to gun for president.

Kinda crazy guess, but they are crazy so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

He can't take a clear 'no' for an answer. No wonder he's a convicted rapist.

I'd rather the West Coast become part of Canada.

[–] socialjusticewizard@sh.itjust.works 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think they should secede and form their own union and then we can ally with them at least as close as we allied with the US. I don't wanna let them in until they've dealt with the baggage that'll come with that breakup, like the gun obsessed rednecks.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 9 points 11 hours ago

Fair enough. I'm trying to convince Cascadia to secede bit by bit.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck no. There are more Republicans in California than in Texas.

Is it really a "longtime tariff" when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish...

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Lol at there no longer being a border problem. How exactly does this change ANYTHING about guns and fentanyl crossing between Canada and the US? And whatever immigration problems Trump is complaining about would be completely moot if suddenly the entire country are now forced to become US immigrants.
