You know, I’m grateful.
Hitler lost his grip on reality, after he started the second world war.
Nazi germany had a terrifying amount of terrible, and competent, people on its side.
Trump’s administration might be terrible… But competent?
There are still a lot of competent people who continue to let themselves be used by the regime, particularly in the military.
Absolutely.
But this shit is falling apart a lot sooner than the nazi party did.
The Nazis were true zealots, while Trump is just a grifter, wrapped in so many lies there are no longer words he might spew that are capable of making sense to anyone paying attention. Additionally, a lot of people around him are in it for personal gain, not some sense of ideals.
I’m delighted that our Prime Minister clearly got under Trump’s skin with his speech. He certainly didn’t get his wits from America.
I watched his whole speech and the Q&A afterwards a short time ago and, as an Australian, all I could think was that if I were Canadian I’d have been very proud to call him my PM. He has such a sensible approach to the idea that the world has irrevocably changed and that middle powers need to band together to stand up to bullies like the USA. He correctly highlighted that the current circumstances are frightening and challenging but has a clear vision for the path forward.
I, like many others, was concerned that an ex-banker and leader of two federal reserves would just tow the neoliberal line but he’s shown real courage and vision. I hope he continues to back up the rhetoric with action that’s both in the best interests of Canadians but also in the better interests of other middle power nations.
I think his open acknowledgment of the until-now taboo points that the “rules based international order” has intrinsically been significantly self-serving, and has consistently favored the global north over the global south, and has overall exacerbated global wealth inequality was pretty incisive and important as well. The facts have been fairly obvious for a while now, and he had the stones to call a spade a spade.
This is literally how abusers talk
Makes sense. He is one.
I don’t want to invade Greenland baby. But you make me do it.
I don’t think the shots they’ve been giving him are working anymore 😐
Freebies? Like, freeloaders? Like all of the people who don’t get healthcare or medicine in the U.S. so they cross the border to get it from Canada?
Grateful for all of the new immigrants coming from USA who will work to make Canada even better ❤️
I wish our immigrants came from more civilized countries though. /s
When America sends its people, they’re sending their best. They’re sending people that have fewer problems and they’re leaving their problems behind. They’re bringing skills. They’re bringing families. They’re not rapists. And most, I assume are good people.
Are you implying that the invading force will be grade 4 repeaters who cant spell, understand grammar or complete simple addition and subtraction?
As an American, I would like to know what he thinks we have been giving them. Cause I can’t think of any.
He thinks a trade surplus for Canada means the US is subsidizing Canada.
I’m not even kidding.
Yeah, the word ‘thinks’ has a very wide range of application doesn’t it.
We get a LOT of mail-order boner-pill ads on mid-evening television. And all our shooting deaths are with guns smuggled over the border. So there’s that…
;-)
Just kidding. That one time America became the only country to activate article 5, word is all the yanks forced to land in our maritimes we’re super nice.
- it is unfortunately a fake cover
- i would LOVE if it was real
- i do not expect orangeboi to understand that it is fake
- i expect orangeboi et al will get big mad over it
Yes, thank you for the flood of illegal guns which makes it shitty for responsible gun owners like myself.
Hahaha idiot. What ‘freebies’ could hope to make up for maple syrup and poutine?
Just wait till they’re gone. You fools!
That and the hydro that powers half the eastern seaboard…
Very true.
That’s nothing compared to the syrup, though.
Everyone is laughing but isn’t this how MLs talk about Western countries that benefit from US imperialism indirectly?
He also looks and sounds like shit, so there’s that.
