Canada should coordinate with the Hague. Invite trump to Canada at the same time the ICC issues a warrant.
Hasn’t Trump already said this? This isn’t the press sec saying anything Orange Mussolini hasn’t already been explicit about. It’s one of their talking points.
Yeah it was stated in the state of the union too
Obvious follow up question: if Canada becomes the 51st state, wouldn’t that remove the barriers that is keeping all that imaginary fentanyl out of the US?
Do journalists even have brains any more?
I imagine they think the military occupation required will solve the problem.
What about Mexico? Could Mexico become the 52nd state? Lol.
Thankfully, Mexico is probably safe due to racism. They thought about stealing all of Mexico when the US invaded in 1846, but decided not to because all the brown people.

On the other hand, Canada…
Right, buy the US can just Gaza all of my mexicano to Paraguay. And then the orange turd can build a huge paradize for white people. It will be an indoor thing, we all know white people can’t be outside too long or they cook. Kinda of like us brown people up in the north, we need tanning lights to get vitamin D or we go flat and puff away.
They already got half of it in the 1800s. 1900s were busy times. The 2000s are for northern expansion: Canada and Greenland. God bless Donald Trump /s.
Maybe if we do the rain dance. Like George Carling said… Does it rain during practice?
What about puerto Rico, Samoa, Guam and the Virgin Islands?
Wouldn’t that be amazing? All this blatant racism and hatred of Mexican people and suddenly they all end up citizens? That would be wild. I’m sure that’s why they’re not saying it. Though I would wager it wouldn’t take long for them to justify the annexing of the territory without giving citizenship to the people there.
It always feels like they have real reporters in the seats at these things, and a bunch of younger reporters asking softball scripted questions standing around.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
Putin wants US alliances to crumble. As his pawn, Trump will continue to sew chaos.
sew

She said Canada could avoid the tariffs by “becoming the 51st state”
utterly deranged
Haven’t they been saying that shit for like three weeks now?
Yeah, but they’ve been claiming it was just a joke.
We know better, of course, but that was what they were pretending.
She is as dumb as she looks
No use in being a us ally.
“Is that how the US will be treating all of their allies from now on?”
Would have been an important follow up question.
Shocking how few of these there are. Where the hell is the White House Press Corps? Don’t answer that I know they don’t really exist anymore and haven’t for close to two decades now.
“President Musk needs ALL the rare minerals required for electronics”
I thought it was common knowledge already by that point. He wants Canada’s resources and strategically advantageous geographical location.
The US government is broke. The spending and debt are out of control and their political system has become too dysfunctional to fix it intelligently. He hopes that annexing Canada and exploiting its resources unhindered by regulation will magically solve the problem.
Canadians, do not fall for it. Trump wants you to work in his mines.
Hitler did the same
That’s the stupid part, we’re not broke. We’re not bogged down with debt, we own the debt, we’re overspending on American business and economic output, just because we spend money and have national debt dosen’t mean we are collapsing, out corporate stock market based economy needs infinite growth, so gov spending is going to ALSO always go up. That’s really basic shit. He isn’t fixing a desperate problem, he’s looting the fucking county and hoping he gets it all done in time for a Russian airline loaded with gold to take him safely home.
Listen, Canadians are very, very aware that we’re Poland in 1936 right now.
We are literally begging Americans to wake the fuck up and realise this too, and hopefully stop this insanity before it gets that far.
Just absolutely let us know what we can do we are eager for anything

Remember that small acts of resistance build big acts of resistance. Every time someone stands up, a few more people stand up next time. Don’t sit around waiting for “the revolution” or “the general strike” or whatever other thing feels “big enough” to you. At that point you might as well just be waiting for the rapture. You build heaven one brick at a time.
And equally importantly, getting involved in the small acts of resistance gets you connected to the people who are doing things. The first part of organized resistance is organizing and that’s never going to happen by sharing a meme or two. You need to get into the Signal chats, and the person to person networks where the real action is being talked about, mostly offline. So signing up to protest against book removals at your local n library might not feel like “doing enough” but it’s how you get started. Things will move from there.
Search around for any kind of leftist resistance happening in your area, no matter how small. Get involved at the local level. It will make a difference.
We won’t. We will bitch and moan and go to work while the military makes encroachments on your land.
I will be doing fun experiments, in Minecraft.
A LOT to unpack here:
A. The U.S. government is broke!? That is one of the dumbest takes I’ve seen in a while. Makes it difficult to take any other part of your post seriously.
Currently run by fascist morons that my fellow fascist citizens elected, yes. Broke, not fucking remotely true.
B. No one takes it seriously that he is going to somehow magically take over Canada. He says that shit because he is either so stupid, he actually believes he can, or is just saying it to get under Canadian’s skin. (Probably both).
C. “Canada’s strategically advantageous geographical location.”. What strategic importance does Canada’s location have? We already have Alaska. Is there some secret shipping lanes, or laser polar bears we don’t know about?
Resources? Your shale sands oil sucks and has to be piped to the US anyway, to be processed.
You have a lot of wood I guess? We have a TON of resources here, it’s just been cheaper to mine elsewhere because environmental law, makes it pretty expensive to exploit. He’s in the process of gutting those.
Canada just needs to keep doing what it is doing and tell us to fuck off. (Kind of like what we both do to our indigenous populations.)
He’ll eventually drive our economy into the dirt, and fuck over the dumbass blue color voters (that he supposedly champions), and maybe, just maybe, the Democrats will get behind a true progressive instead of a Susan Collins, Hillary Clinton type cunt.
B: It doesn’t matter how noncredible a plan it is. Trump has pulled every lever he can to do what he wants unhindered by anyone with a functioning brain and now he wants to annex the country by trying to destroy its economy, even if it doesn’t succeed at annexing the country, he will still damage Canada’s economy.
C: Canada controls the Northwest passage and is the key to controlling the Arctic. By itself it is forecast to become a viable and profitable shipping route thanks to global warming. It is about to become a huge economic lever against China’s exports. There is a reason why Trump wants to control the Panama canal again as well.
D: Resources: There is a vast wealth of minerals and potentially undiscovered oil about to become cheaply accessible once the North opens to shipping. There is also a huge reserve of fresh water that the US covets.
There is a reason why Russia is pushing to take control of the North. Even China made claims that they are a “near arctic state” which is laughable, but clearly indicates that they want to throw their hat into the ring to gain access to the wealth that buried below ground there.
The Northwest passage?!??
Now I know you are just trolling.
Why do you think Panama and Canada came up on the same day. Yea, Northwest Passage.
Thank you for clearly outlining the depth of your analysis.
I looked it up and you are clearly delusional that this “Northwest Passage” is some kind of major shipping lane or has any real value at all.
It wasn’t even clear of ice until 2009 and is reported to be as shallow as 15’ in many parts.
Keep building this fantasy of yours. It is entertaining.
I think the Northwest Passage being referred is the Elizabeth Islands which is a geographical choke point not unlike the Strait of Malacca. If the Arctic sea ice fully melts then it’ll be a very important location to control traffic going to and from the Eastern Seaboard. The only way around coming from Russia is to go East of Greenland. Trump wants Canada and Greenland to act as a shield against Russia and to a lesser extent, China.
If that’s his goal (big if) that’s the stupidest way possible. Could’ve literally asked they probably would’ve. Also if that’s his goal why is he simultaneously removing the Russian embargo. This is all also ignoring that krasnov is a Russian asset
The US already has a deal with Denmark basically allowing them unlimited presence on Greenland. A takeover changes nothing except now there’s no “buffer state” between the US and Russia.
Well I would argue that looking at the USA’s Debt to Liquidity ratio you can see we are definitely in the red.
And guess who owns most of that debt and who keeps buying more?
One of the many countries he’s antagonizing and slapping tariffs on. Why would they keep supporting him by buying more debt? And why wouldn’t they start demanding some of it back. When the US defaults on a payment then all hell breaks loose in the US economy.
Actually the US owns most of the debt. That’s part time of the reason it’s not seen as risky as theyre effectively and iou to themselves.

If there is one thing I can promise you, it’s that you don’t have to tell Canadians not to fall for it. Annexation is a non starter, there is literally no argument that could be given regardless of validity. The fact that any promises are obvious lies is wholly irrelevant.
He doesn’t give the first damn about the United States balance sheet. He does about his own enrichment.
And his legacy. He wants to be remembered as some great dealmaking king that made deals to get America more states…
What else would a narcissistic megalomaniac want?
