    Can’t wait for the senate and congress to flip Dem. Nothing will get done. But I’m sure plenty of Trump operatives will be jailed for breaking congressional subpoenas.

    Man, the dumbest thing about this nonsense is repeating that Canada will only be one state. It’s already broken into provinces, dickhead, at least make a better offer than two senators.

      #1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania

      #9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming

      #10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories

      20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person

      200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person

      It seems pretty fair

        I’d love to have the Canadian conservatives in the USA. It would hopefully calm down the magat zombies we have in office.

      Well Poilievre, who’s party lost tonight, has been extremely limp-wristed in his opposition to Trump’s threats, but he hasn’t outright said he’d surrender, just implied it with his weak rhetoric. More likely to me is that Trump in his dementia ridden mind was literally calling for people to vote for him. Like somehow enough Canadians would write Trump on their ballots that it would “win” the election for him, which demonstrates such a fundamental lack of understanding about our electoral system that I don’t even know where to begin.

    FYI, this is unpopular among Canadian voters. Conservative underdog, tries to deny being a lapdog, or supporting the idea, but this unfiltered BS doesn’t help him. It’s just a sign that Trump is completely out of control surrounded only by people who must restrain themselves on pushback to only far stupider things he might say.

    Hypothetically, if canada becomes a state, would they flip our house of representatives blue? I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.

      This is what you need to keep foremost in your mind. There is no conceivable reality in which the US conquers (yes conquers, they can call it annexation all they want but at the end of the day Trump wants a conquest to his name) Canada and gives any semblance of voting or personal rights to Canadians. Hell, even if Canada was somehow persuaded into voluntarily joining the US, this regime would never, ever honour any kind of arrangement that gave Canadians a fair deal. They are fascist bullies, as close to actual evil as we’ve seen in North America in a very long time, and they have no interest in any sort of fair bargain.

      The guy is ranting about a criminal investigation into why his polling numbers are so low. He’s quite literally a demented old man. I think he really isn’t rational enough to see that that he is harming the man he wants to win.

    Will. Never. Happen.

    Canadians will literally die before living for a milisecond as Americans.

    And - this is a declaration of war by the US president. Cause it would take a military invasion to violently turn Canadians into Americans.

      It has long been the case, that if you confuse a Canadian for an American they are offended, but if you confuse an American for a Canadian they don’t mind.

    I like how he wants Canada as one state. Keeping the Provinces split would push the Senate to the left for quite some time.

        It’s a combination of very stupid/uninformed voters, and hardcore fascist voters who don’t care how bad their own lives get, as long as immigrants and trans people get gassed. A lot of people think the latter group is a minority, but I actually think it’s the other way around. I think most people who voted for Trump are just fascists and the uninformed are maybe 20% max.

    I would not ordinarily recommend Hitler’s tactics and strategies as a general rule, but he sure knew how to solve the Hitler problem, at the very end. Donny, maybe look into that.
