LTS Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 I would imagine they would be pissed... and also concerned. I'm not even sure how that would happen. I don't see Canada just agreeing to this so what's left, an invasion? The US has not made Puerto Rico a state in all these years, but then again, they don't have oil like Canada does. If someone found a livable planet.. I'd be on the first ship.

K-9 Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 (edited) 11 hours ago, LGR4GM said: Invading Canada would trigger article 5 of NATO. So would invading Greenland. But once again the media is getting sucked into his bat$hit crazy rhetoric instead of focusing on the actual threats to our democracy. Edited February 12 by K-9

"Any invasion of Canada by the United States Federal Government would sever any and all ties the individual States have to the Federal Government" Edited February 13 by LGR4GM
Hank Posted February 25 Report Posted February 25 I don't take the 51st state stuff seriously. I think it's stupid and don't see his endgame with it, but I think it's nonsense.

LGR4GM Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Author Report Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Trump declares a trade war with Canada for no reason other than his own stupidity. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariffs-expected-tuesday-1.7473227 Quote The CBP's own data registered a 97 per cent drop in January compared to December 2024 at the northern border — evidence, the Canadian government says, that its $1.3-billion border security package is already bearing fruit. Even before these new efforts, Canada represented less than one per cent of all seized fentanyl imports into the U.S., according to federal data. The border security agreement that was already going into effect and supposedly the great and wise moron himself got Canada to agree with, is working. But tariffs are starting tomorrow anyways.
Hank Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM Lets say Trump did want to bankrupt Canada. Is it possible for him to do it through these tariffs?

LGR4GM Posted Tuesday at 08:18 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 08:18 PM Note he calls Prime Minister Trudeau "governor" here because as Trudeau noted today, "that will make it easier to annex us"
K-9 Posted Tuesday at 08:33 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 08:33 PM 10 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: Note he calls Prime Minister Trudeau "governor" here because as Trudeau noted today, "that will make it easier to annex us" You will never see right wing media mention any of these statistics. EVERY economist who researched the impacts of Trump’s economic agenda leading up to the election predicted a disaster. When even the likes of Goldman Sachs predicts your plans will be harmful to the economy, perhaps you should take note.
