Yeah. Tell us Canadians again how we'd be better off as a state in your miserable shithole of a country. I must have missed something about how awesome it is to ratfuck everything in sight and violate every creature's right to exist.
Fuck you, America, you worthless cunt of a nation.
As an American I approve this message.
The YT algorithms have been pushing some Canadian podcasters about how Canada wants to join the US...then if you look up who in Canada wants this. It's basically a tiny tiny fraction of the country, and everyone of them are Canadian magats.
This country is being fucked by technocrats and the amount of idiots we have here who eat this shit up is insane. Had someone tell me the other day that most of Canada wants to become a US state, showed them this...which was before the dumbass turnip started his trade wars.

Got nothing back which means they don't believe it.
As an American, let me thoroughly reassure you: we don't want Canada to join the Union either.
I don't think we were being asked to "join".
If I reflect on the subtext, it felt like more of a limp-dick threat from a group of entitlement-complex having old white assholes in charge of a country of under-educated, mouth-breathing, inbred racists, with a soupçon of imperialism.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I hope you don't think Canada significantly fewer of those degenerates per capita than we do.
Yours might be a slightly different flavor, and they not be as emboldened as ours -- but those shitbirds are universal and will absolutely destroy Canada just like the USA if you're complacent.
You're right and that's why I'm mad now, and not after we voted in a dictator. Hindsight and a nickel will get you a cup of jack shit these days it seems.
So is this xenophobia you have or specifically you hate all Americans?
Xenophobia implies a phobia.
I'm not afraid off you, and if I was, I don't think it would be an irrational fear. Generally, on average, if we bell-curve this shit, your're (sometimes) well-meaning idiots with far too much ego and power, who collectively need a serious serving of humble fuckin' pie. Often you're not even well-meaning. Nothing to be afriad of, but a blight to be assiduously avoided for ones own well being and sanity.
As far as hate: I don't hate Americans for being Americans. I can and will also acknowledge we have our share of maple maga; hate filled bigots with a selfish agenda.
Futhermore, this was done to you. Over generations. But you also chose to have it done to you. Over generations.
So: I sure hate the choices you make, but it's not possible to do better until you know better.
Xenophobia does not in fact imply a phobia. It is specifically the dislike or prejudice against those of other countries.
That being said, you're obviously justified in being pissed off at the bullshit going on right now, but that's a very common boomer defense along the lines of "I can't be homophobic cuz I'm not afraid of them I just hate them"
What.
We'd rather it be the other way.
Yeah, because we know they are far better off without us right? ..right?
It’s not really union. More like “guidelines” than an actual union at this point.
I agree with your comments, but please remember their are plenty of Americans that would like their state to become a Canadian province.
America: The only country bad enough to enrage Canadians to the point of making a Scotsman blush.
If Canada joined as multiple states it would be interesting...
Instead of the 51st state, Canada could be 51 states, giving them a majority...
Even just the 10 provinces would be a big change.
I'd prefer we just hold hands. We're not into you that way.
worthless cunt of a nation
The chosen noun implies usefulness. I feel like we better embody a pimple. Or festering wound. You know, something that actively hurts and tends to spread. Like an overflowing toilet clogged with diarrhea and used condoms.
"Brimming with pus"
"I would call you a cunt, but you have neither the warmth nor the depth."
So, there was a vote in congress and senate for a law repealing it, or is this just another royal decree from the white palace?
Doesn’t matter. In the US legal system only the injured endangered species can sue him.
No, just no.
Everyone has standing when it comes to wildlife laws.
Umm Trump just said nuh uh.
And SCOTUS just backed him up.
Yes.
No they didn't and that still wouldn't change being wrong about standing.
Most of these fucking MAGAts enjoy hunting and fishing, in the pristine wilderness, and rage about the beauty of nature. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
The main thing the Endangered Species Act does is limit development in the habitat of endangered species. The President of the United States is a developer. Of course he's targeting the Endangered Species Act. He hates it with a passion.
Also, his felony convictions are related to the overvaluation of land he owns that can't actually be developed due to a conservation easement that's the result of the Endangered Species Act.
They only claim to love nature so they can kill it. They bitch about seasons and the government limiting what they can take. Just like they say they “love America” but want to mow down the forests that make it beautiful and pave over it with oil derricks and gas pipelines. The same way they’re all about “gun safety” but leave guns where they can be used for everything from accidental shootings to be stolen and used in crimes.
They don’t mean what they say.
I remember in the 80s my dad having a Ducks Unlimited sticker on his truck. I asked him what it meant, and he said "conservatism is about conservation, because we all want to keep America's natural beauty." Compare that to today, we're past the tipping point on so many things because they just refuse to allow the country's rich to lose a cent to remediating our mess. In a movie, this would be an implausible timeline.
i hope he goes extinct
So we can now shoot bald eagles?
Noice!
/s
Seemingly, no. Bald eagles were taken off the federal threatened/endangered lists in like 2007, but there are other, more specific protection laws in place protecting the bald eagle.
I would imagine the migratory bird treaty act protects them, as they are migratory birds.
Yep. The MBTA is a treaty between Canada, the US, and Mexico -- not so easy to simply ignore.
That might stop them if they cared enough to read.
Well tell canada to come burn the white house down again, maybe that will get the message across
It seems to also include Japan and Russia. Birds flying across oceans still blows my mind.
Only three animals will be allowed... Chicken, beef and pork..
If only these endangered animals were tasty, it's their own fault for not evolving so that we don't farm them
Some are tasty, like the Galapagos tortoise.
So we need to annex the Galapagos? Do they have oil?
You could probably grind the penguins into something useful.
When do they start building condos all over the national parks?
