    1. Davis: Can the Governor of a State prorogue it’s parliament without the permission of the President elect? Asking for a US friend.

    2. We would be like Puerto Rico, with a hint of maple as a non voting protectorate. Too many FILTHY LIBERALS here that haven’t done their part and joined MAID.

      Cultural Marxism(aka FILTHY LIBERALS) destroys All the history that made Canada great. Big Gay Chief SPENDY MCBLACKFACE HAIRDO finished us off

      By the way, no KORANDERTHALS or Snake Charmers were here. Mostly White Old Stock men built this country. A few Chinamen were sent in the tunnels for the railway. Otherwise, mostly White British/Europeans and a few blacks, built this country.

      Our superiority complex with America has no merit. We are an Unserious Nation that keeps voting for our own demise.

      Please take us, America. Nobody will resist, except online tough guys.

    3. Trump doesn’t have to take any part of Canada.
      Just convince one province to join the US.
      After that the federal power of Ottawa collapses.
      Liberals may suddenly change their tune if they thought all those Alberta seats could be taken out of the HoC.

      1. Geez, that would be nice. Crossing into Montana would now be like crossing any old township road here in Alberta.

        WEXIT…sign me up.

      2. Yeah, Alberta, how about it? You’re the only province we’d want. (Maybe Saskatchewan, but that’s it.)

  3. There are two types of Canadians: (1) those who thought that that “Joe Canada” ad was a national embarassment and (2) those who positviely wet their pants over it.

    The second group can go f*ck themselves

    1. The same people that think hockey, Tim Horton’s and a substandard health care system is what defines us.
      Diversity is a weakness.

      2. Maybe its time to rename it टिमोथी Horton’s now that they all seem to be run by TFW’s

    1. Exactly! This is absolute master class trolling! Between Elon & the Donald, Trudeau is getting his ass waxed over & over again! It’s no wonder Trump & Elon have become ‘best buds’. And it’s a shame liberals are incapable of appreciating how funny this is.

    1. Well, in Ford’s defense he made it more attractive to Trump by offering to take Minnesota too.

      1. I would go for trading Ontario for a bucket of pucks and a dirty jockstrap. They can have all the Mississauga terrorists, the ridings that keep Liberals in power and… what is it Ontario is famous for except for immigrants? Nothing.

        1. what is it Ontario is famous for?
          A 60 cent dollar. That’s the only thing that keeps the auto manufacturers in business.

      2. I doubt many Alaskans will agree to being disarmed by the Toronto douchebag “elites” (aka smarmy marmy sh”tbags).

        So no, Canada, you don’t get Alaska. Try again.

        See, Canada, you have NOTHING to trade. Nadda.

    3. Burton-I am sure Ford lipping off has Trump shaking in his shoes. Our politicians have learned nothing. Trump plays chess and our guys play tidily winks. I think this whole thing is nothing but noise and as a bonus Trump is running Justin’s kitchen.
      1. Two weeks ago what was the story? Cabinet appointments.
      2.Trudeau has backstabbed him several times. Trump wants him gone and we are slowly headed down that path.
      3. Trump wants Canada to honor it’s NATO commitments. I believe in the first term
      that was agreed to. Exactly the opposite has happened. Much of what funding the military gets has been wasted making sure programs use the correct pronouns instituting DEI and destroying the moral and effectiveness of the troops we have left. It isn’t by accident nor incompetence. Trump knows this. It’s a shame because both countries troops have the upmost respect for each other.
      4.Trump wants the border secured and immigration under control. Virtue signaling will not be sufficient.
      Our real problem is we are under the thumb of a mealie mouthed little dictator. We for now have no effective government. What response did you expect when Ford starts mouthing off about cutting of power among other things? Trump would come begging? We need someone in charge who will sit down and have respectful manner. We will not get all we want , but the present path insures a lot of turmoil. In the meantime we would benefit from ignoring the noise. Most of our problem is homemade. That’s my limited observations and I am sure there much more going on. I believe we are paying the price of leaders and elected officials who put their own interests above those of the country.

  7. Found this about the company (bold mine): “Molson Coors Beverage Company is a Canadian-American multinational drink and brewing company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with main offices in Golden, Colorado, and Montreal, Quebec.”

    Give it a few years and they will probably merge with some Mexican brewery. Molsoño Cerveza anyone? ;o)

  8. Canada won’t become part of the U.S.

    a) Trumpy complains about a few illegals coming into the US from Canada. So Trump’s solution is to bring in 40 million more people?

    b) That 40 million, if admitted, would most likely overwhelmingly vote Democrat. The Republicans would never again get control of the House, the Senate, or the Presidency. The Republican Senate would not vote to ratify a treaty bringing Canada into the US.

    c) Trump says Canada is ripping off the US economically. That’s arguable, but if Canada was a state, it would be much worse.

    2. @joe: Don’t think of it as annexation, think of it as a economic union of 2 federal sovereign states.
      As for citizens, all Canadian citizens to have automatic Green Card only. Same for US Citizens, to have Canadian permanent residence only. Use same US$ both sides of the border.

      1. That would work really well, and I believe has been proposed in the past. I would support it, and it would really simplify border crossing. The over-riding issue, which is a massive hurdle, is that it would require Canada and US to adopt common protocols (which really means adopting US protocols) for entry to Canada from other countries. It would also mean Canada and US adopting similar tarifs with other trading partners, etc. (which really means the US setting all of these and Canada implementing them). Finally, Canada would really have to sort out healthcare. The last thing we could afford is a massive influx of sick Americans willing to live here in exchange for access to the Canadian universal healthcare/hospital system. This system is near collapse now, and an influx of Americans moving to Canada to take advantage of it would completely blow up what is left of it (not to mention the corresponding increase in housing prices).

          1. Thanks. I get your point, but it isn’t their actual death here that I was concerned about. It was their living here that concerned me – and their clogging up the medical system and hospitals while they were still alive. Either way, if they only needed to be here for 6 months to become eligible for our heavily subsidized healthcare system, our healthcare system would quickly collapse. Canada doesn’t have a Plan B for that (yet), and the lefties go nuts anytime an alternative approach is even attempted to be discussed. The lefties are still pushing for further expanded free dental care and a national Pharmacare plan.

          2. I saw it really well put on Instapundit this morning – Americans don’t want Canada. “We have one California already.”

        2. Would Canadian football rules have to comply with US ? Geez we only need 3 downs to gain 10 yards….oops sorry 9.23 meters

      2. I’m not interested in any kind of block like the EU, which are brought together by terrible walls. The EU and Mercosur are prisons. Let’s not make another one.

    3. “Trump says Canada is ripping off the US economically. That’s arguable…”

      Despite my amusement with Trump trolling Trudeau this argument about the trade imbalance is odd. The US population is roughly 10x bigger than Canada. So of course the US will import more products from Canada than Canada imports from the US. Am I missing something in this reasoning?

      1. Yes you are. the US imports more from Canada than they export to Canada because we have energy they need, or want, no other reason. If your reasoning held, China and India would import much more from the US than the US does from them.

        1. Yes and no. US citizens consume far more products per capita than citizens of India. America is a rich, developed country. You’d have to account for the per capita wealth differences for a fair comparison. Apples to apples – compare developed countries to develop countries.
          If Canada had they same population as the US then there would be a considerably smaller trade imbalance.

          But, yes, Canada exports a high value product -heavy crude oil- to the US because they want it and need it. No one is forcing them to buy the heavy crude.

          1. It depends on who has what really, countries (people) buy what they want and need. On your other point, Canada is now only 60% as rich per capita as the US, at current trajectories, China and India will be wealthier per capita than us sooner than you will believe. Canada is spiraling by any measure, as fast as Germany and the UK (and for the same reason).

          2. I agree, the economy in Canada is circling the toilet bowl. People who repeatedly voted for Trudeau Liberals should hang their heads in shame.

          4. Having basically only one petroleum market, the US, due to lack of economic competency by Canadian governments for decades accounts for a large portion of the price discount on Western Canada Select (WCS). As soon as the Transmountain pipeline expansion was in service, the price of WCS went up. More pipelines to coasts would further increase the price because there’s an international demand for heavy crude (and natgas).

        2. The US invested in productivity
          Canada invested in bureaucracy
          Can you guess the winner?
          Capitalism creates wealth, socialism spends someone else’s wealth

      3. The argument isn’t ‘odd’ it’s moronic. Trump is an idiot who doesn’t understand trade. He is so dumb that he thinks trade “deficits” are subsidies. They are not.

    4. a) If Canada were a state, Trump would have control of immigration into Canada.

      b) Canada would be separated into several states, with electoral college votes, and geographically, most of Canada would be red, like in the states, with the exception of the large urbanized areas like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, etc.

      c) If Canada were annexed by the USA, the GDP would increase, so that point is truly absurd.

      The only real downside to annexation by the states is the insane weaponized Feds the USA suffers under, with the ATF occasionally going off the rails and slaughtering folk, getting swatted for selling raw milk or incandescent bulbs or the wrong wood in guitars…

      1. The Founding Fathers of the US Constitution created the best constitution in the history of the world, period. Same for the US Bill of Rights because of it’s protection of individual rights and constraining the government.

        Then you see what’s happening in abusive US bureaucracies and the corruption of the US justice system. The principles of the Constitution and Bill of Rights are not currently being honoured. The shockingly bad treatment of US citizens in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene and the fire in Lahaina, Hawaii was also eye opening. Not sure I would be comfortable being part of the US, even though I’m not a fan of the flawed Canadian government system or the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Right and Freedoms.

      2. The average US state has 7 million. Canada would be entitled to 6 states. BC, Sask/Man, Quebec and Atlantis would reliably vote Democrat. Alberta and maybe Ontario might vote Republican more than not. Trump could single-handedly ensure Republicans never win another election. Also the whiners in Quebec would never go for it.

        1. I don’t know how it would be divvied up, and neither do you, scar.

          California has almost 40 million, Alaska less than a million, even though Alaska is the biggest state.

          Your assumption that the new states formed would have anything at all to do with the current provinces is unfounded in reality.

          The whiners in Quebec were forced to accept Confederation, they can be forced to accept statehood as well.

          1. “I don’t know how it would be divvied up, and neither do you, scar.”

            Exactly. But why would we accept such a diluted system?

            “Your assumption that the new states formed would have anything at all to do with the current provinces is unfounded in reality.”

            The sovereignty of the provinces in a voluntary union is a fact.

            “The whiners in Quebec were forced to accept Confederation, they can be forced to accept statehood as well.”

            Quebecois would likely be gutting invaders, sending them home in a box.

          1. Quebec has lots of resources, and a skilled population.
            Just because Canada is too useless to properly exploit that fact doesn’t mean the (new) states would be.

        4. The US would gain a new party, the Bloc Quebecois ! You don’t think the separatists are going away do you?

          1. The separatist would end up walking down the cul de sac, kicking stones and never be heard from again.

      3. ” If Canada were annexed by the USA, the GDP would increase”

        America’s prosperity premium is coming to an end. They are probably going to lose their last AAA rating on USG debt this year. 10 year yields already going up and hard. Price of gold going up in USD while rates are high is extremely bad.

    5. a) they would be legal
      b) you assume, people having had a taste of freedom would reject it and flee back to servitude and nanny-statism
      c) the trade imbalance is not a rip off, but our defense freeloading is. That a country like Canada can exist without a military is a testament to that.

    6. FYI: I think it’s canard of the highest order to believe that the US absorbing Canada – which Trump is joking about, this is trolling folks! – would take in 40 million Democrats.

      FACT: As a nation, we Canadians tell ourselves many, many lies and force ourselves to believe many, many lies FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE of our insisting that we are somehow materially different from the Americans.

      If the “need” to somehow prove ourselves materials different from American were removed, then Canadians could just relax and be themselves and would realize that they/we are, in fact, not materially different from Americans

      Witness the fact that Canadian moving to the US – of whatever original political stripe – appear to blend effortlessly into the American political mainstream (which includes a significant percentage of Republicans).

      Mordecai Richler once said something like – I can’t locate the quote – “we (Canadians) are discovering who we are and we’re Americans.”

      All fine by me.

      1. Your assumption that Canada is comprised of 40 million Democrats is totally unfounded, and I also guess you’ve never heard of this little thing called the electoral college.

        2. Canada has much the same percentage of left leaning voters as California.

          California voted 58.5% for Harris
          38.3% for Trump.

          Here are the Conservative+PPC vote totals for the last five federal elections.
          2021 = 36%
          2019 = 36%
          2015 = 32%
          2011 = 40%
          2008 = 38%

          Here’s the Republican vote in US Federal elections (270 Electoral College votes to win)
          2024 = 49.9% 312 Electoral College votes
          2020 = 46.8% 232 EC votes
          2016 = 46.1% 304 EC votes
          2012 = 47.2%. 206 EC votes
          2008 = 45.7% 173 EC votes

          My point is the US is significantly more “red” than Canada. If Canada is absorbed into the US as a state or states, the US will go Democrat.

          1. Candians have been steeping in the heating pot for so long now, they thinK NDP socialist policies are centrist. And unfortunately, economic migrants to ‘healthier economies’ bring their voting preferences with them. Why change your ways with social hammocks available?

          2. Unless – and here is where you miss my main point – the act of absorbing Canadian into US relieves Canadans of this terrible burden of telling themselves many lies and forcing themselves to believe many lies for the sole purpose of proving to others and themselves that they are materially different from the Americans.

            If Canadians became American, they would not have to tell themselves these lies and act out these lies and they would then act – and vote – like normal Americans

            And that could be potentially good for the US Republicans

          3. Depends on the split. As of today, the Conservatives are polling at about the same percentage as the Republicans in the U.S. Although the popular vote is not really relevant.

      2. I have found too many Canadians, even those who claim to be conservative, are a covetous lot. They cannot stand to see anyone get ahead of them. They cannot stand anyone who has something nicer than they do. There is too much the “If I can’t have it neither can you” attitude. The public health unions exploit that last one very well. If someone gets too independent of thegovernment the Karens are on the snitch line to report it.
        Despite ninety per cent of Canadians now speaking and spelling in American, there are still too many anti-American types in Canada. President Trump knows that annexing Canada would just be getting another preventable migraine headache. It’s not going to happen.

    7. Canada would be relegated to Mississippi status (or worse) if it joined the US , once the US got the oil , water and control of the Arctic which is only what it really wants.

      1. Once again, you assume that Canada would be one state, or that the new states would mirror the provinces, and you assume that the USA is one monolithic block, and what Alabama wants is the same as what California wants is the same as what Indiana wants, etc.

        My God, but Canadians are pig ignorant when it comes to the USA.

        1. I have ran into Canadians who are also pig ignorant of Canada. Years ago I argued with a trucker from Toronto that he wasn’t going to go from the US Border to Ft. Mac, AB in three hours. I even showed him the map. He still insisted he would pick up his buddy in Edmonton in two hours and be in Ft. Mac an hour later. At that time, it was an eight hour drive from Coutts to Edmonton.

      2. Canada is already below Mississippi economically, our wealthiest province is poorer than them. Upgrading us to Mississippi status would be amazing.

          1. Yes, Alberta and Saskatchewan rank considerably higher compared to US states than other provinces (especially Alberta). With the recent erosion of the Canadian dollar, all Canadian provinces have
            probably slipped lower in the rankings. It does still show how different the economies of Alberta and Saskatchewan are from the rest of Canada.

          2. … Joe
            Yes , I forgot about Alabama !

            What everyone seems to have missed is that Trump , in his usual style , has created a perfect smoke screen for the huge loss the US faces in Ukraine , and his election promise that he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours … which he has this weeks revised to 6 months , and injected issues with Greenland , Panama and Canada as cover.

            He needs to show some “victory” on assuming office , or at least something to distract the US populace and show strength … typical of the US (we are the best) mentality of which a sizeable portion of the US agrees , when the Panama issue is Chinese infrastructure investment in Panama (widening locks , China building bridge of the canal).

          3. That is lovely, and from June 2023. Do it again. With today’s loonie and another year and a half of falling productivity, vs the US increasing productivity. Ten years ago, we were near parity. Trudeau has sealed our economic fate for a generation, minimum, echoing the efforts of his stepfather.

          4. One wonders if Chrystia will follow Cretin and admit they left the cupboards bare.

            Funny how that Trudeau’s Finance Minister’s comment has disappeared from history like the Adscam story breaker.

      1. Thanks for the compliment.

        Gym, your intellect is truly amazing. It’s on par with Justin Trudeau’s and Joe Biden’s.

    9. Trump doesn’t want the headache that annexing the Democratic Peoples Republic of Kanada would bring.

    10. Who says Canadians are getting a vote? You didn’t have a meaningful vote under your current system, as we have just seen. So I doubt you’d miss it.

  9. I’ve believed for a long time Canada should dissolve into 4 or more likely 5 countries. Maybe this is the beginning of that process.

  10. Will Trudeau’s prorogation be declared illegal? A court has has been initiated.
    https://www.westernstandard.news/opinion/carpay-lawyers-claim-trudeaus-prorogation-of-parliament-illegal/60965
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(Miller)_v_The_Prime_Minister_and_Cherry_v_Advocate_General_for_Scotland

    The UK supreme court ruled 11-0 in 2019 that the prorogation was unlawful and of no effect for the reason “that a decision to prorogue (or advise the monarch to prorogue) will be unlawful if the prorogation has the effect of frustrating or preventing, without reasonable justification, the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions as a legislature and as the body responsible for the supervision of the executive.”

    1. Based on previous challenges regarding COVID violations of the Charter that went nowhere , this challenge will most likely be held in the court of a Liberal friendly judge and similarly go nowhere.

      1. They are as unbiased as the US Justice Dept, the FBI and the ALCU.

        All Canadian courts are certified unbiased by their Liberal appointers and appointees.

        Finding bias in Canadian Courts is like finding fires in California.

        It’s everywhere.

        We don’t have Canadian Courts, we have disgusting,disgraceful Liberal Courts.

    3. Why would a prorogation ever be illegal? Breaks in Parliament are routine. It was only an issue when Harper did it. When I was a wee lad Parliament might only have a spring sitting. Parliament is for passing legislation. All the necessary legislation could be passed in a few months. The cabinet governs the country.

    1. You mean it was m*rdered and is trying to claw its way up out of the gutter while bleeding out.

      “There is a great deal of ruin in a nation.” Adam Smith

  12. If Canada ceases to exist 50 or 100 years from now it will be because it imploded, fell apart from the inside.

    Canada is not a homogeneous nation bound by a common religion or tribe. These are the things that bind a nation. We have promoted our differences. Encouraged the retention of multi-cult. No melting pot here. Quebek is an exception but increasingly one that is losing the fight.

    The country was never strong because of the sum of it’s parts. The regions are vassals to quebek and to a lesser extent Ontario. Never treated as equals in a confederation. Nothing based on a formula like that can survive as a country.

    If Canada became part of the US places like the maritimes would look like the Mississippi valley – the poorest part of America – and still voting Democrat.

    3. Canada is a state that needs no nation. We don’t need to be ‘bound together’, such thinking is for fascists.

  13. I will note at this time that even today, Jan. 2025, I have more practical rights and freedoms as a FOREIGNER visiting Phoenix AZ on holiday than I do here at home in the People’s Republik of #Canuckistan.

    So, I will cry no tears if the USA eats Canuckistan. Sorry boys, I’ve been getting kicked in the b@ll$ by this country for 68 years, and I never made a buck until I went to the USA. Here I’m expected, even forced, to sit down, shut up and do whatever I’m told no matter how insane. Everybody still remember Covid? Yeah, that’s what Canada is. Karen, turbo-nitrous version.

    Shrink the Governments of Canada, ALL of them, down to 10% of what they are today, and then we’ll see. If it takes Trump to do that, then it does. But all of these ward-heelers and iron rice bowl bureaucrats need to be turfed out into the snow to find honest work. Let them learn to code.

    1. Do you really think Trump is going to shrink the government?

      I note that the District of Columbia recorded a GDP per capita far higher than any US state. It was $263,220.

      Setting aside why this was, or how artificial it is; what this means is the deep state will fight Trump tooth and nail to protect their world.

      Will Trump be able to reduce the size of the US government? We shall see.

      2. Well, Milei in Argentina has shown the way. And he is currently ranked the most popular President in South America. Chainsaw time. It is time to collapse the economy of D.C. so the rest of the country can benefit.

    2. Cool story bro. Some things are better in the US like guns, some are better in Canada like abortion, drinking age, and Kinder Surprise. Things have favored America lately but that’s about to change. Newer better governance coming to Canada, inept fascism coming to America.

    2. Elon Musk holds citizenship in multiple countries, including Canada, which he acquired through his Canadian-born mother, Maye. Although born in South Africa, Musk moved to Canada in 1989 to attend college and later obtained Canadian citizenship.

    3. Unless Musk renounced his Canadian citizenship, he is in fact a Canadian citizen. His mother was born in Canada and he got his Canadian citizenship in 1989, according to wiki. He is also a citizen of South Africa and the US.

      1. No evidence he still has South African citizenship.Their law says you have to apply to retain your citizenship if you’re 18 or above and apply for other citizenship. He became a Canadian citizen at 17. But a U.S. citizen at 31. There’s no evidence he at that time applied to keep South African citizenship. So it was undoubtedly rescinded.

  15. The US is an over-governed, broke, welfare, warfare, leviathan state with a bifurcated culture that can barely stay together. Canada is an over-governed, broke, welfare state, and an artificially constructed multicultural union that should likely be split up into smaller, more culturally and geographically cohesive nations, all of which would be better off than the present and especially not apart of a larger leviathan.

  16. Here you see the typical Canadians and their utter ignorance of how big the USA is, both economically and culturally.

    If Canada were divvied up into a bunch of states, each would have the opportunity to run itself as it sees fit, for the most part, at least to a much, much greater degree than they do now.

    1. Funny thing is that in a Confederation, the provinces are sovereign within their borders. In a confederation, states or provinces come together creating a loose (often temporary) union for matters of political, economic or administrative convenience. Within a confederation, member states or provinces maintain their sovereignty and often appoint a weak central authority to speed up bureaucratic matters. The problem in Canada is that the lunatics like Trudeau (and his Maoist old man before him) are all about centralization of power…..kind of like the old Soviet Union.

  17. Annexation of Canada by the US has zero chance of happening. My sense is that what Trump is doing here is a classic use of misdirection, just like in a Penn and Teller stunt. I’m quite certain that Trump knows he is inheriting a bad recession and he’s trying to divert attention away from that.

    Canadians aren’t helping by taking the bait and panicking over something akin to a boogeyman under the bed. Things are starting to look like the mass formation we saw when Covid hit, when people collectively lost their minds and begged for a dictatorship to keep us “safe”. Back in the 70s, we also obsessed over the imminent invasion of Canada when Americans apparently were ready to seize our oil. Someone even wrote a fiction novel about it that got a lot of press.

    There are some solid reasons why this won’t happen, not the least of which are the procedural hassles for doing so. In any event, conservative Americans won’t want it as this would tip the electoral college balance solidly in favor of the Democrats.

    1. “…this would tip the electoral college balance solidly in favor of the Democrats.”
      Yet another who makes a totally unfounded assumption of how Canada would be divvied up into states and electoral counties.

  18. Dear Elon; the community notes on “X” says Trudeau is STILL PM … for months and months at least … until his fellow Lieberals find an unsuitable (for the people) replacement.

    1. Kenji

      Trudeau hasn’t resigned. He said he intends to resign in the future. Apologies if that’s what your post meant.

      When has Trudeau kept a promise?

      For example he said he had no plans to increase the carbon tax above $50/tonne. It’s currently $80/tonne.

      1. That’s exactly what I meant. And no one ever needs to apologize to me. We are all FREE people … to express our own opinions. But I do appreciate your prophylactic-apology 😉

  19. The Laurentian Elite are watching their latest attempt at distraction-for-time (pretending to resign their pink puppet) blow up in their face. We may see an election sooner than thought possible, in spite of themselves, which will be the end of The Liberal Party of Canada. Rest not in peace, hell awaits.

    That Molson/Coors ad reeked of Liberal Party/CBC manipulation; an insipid, intentional mocking of patriotism by the enemy.

  20. Trudeau did a lot to undermine Canadian nationalism, so he has no credibility when he now wants to look like he is standing up for Canada. Sorry, that’s what happens when you declare yourself a “post-national” state.

  22. Musk is having a great (humorous) time trolling the IDIOT TurD’Ho, and some in here don’t git it, and that is also funny as hell.

  23. I think Trump is trolling for a few reasons.

    1) Trade talks coming up. Start with “I want the whole enchilada” and then negotiate down from there.

    2) Tweak Justin’s nose, hard, particularly since Trump knows Sparkle Socks is waaay down and Trump thinks Prancing Pony is less than a lightweight.

    3) Misdirection is a part of it. He’s got a real fight on his hands with the DC Uniparty and bureaucracy. Get the buzz focused on something trivial while setting up for his blitzkrieg agenda.

    4) He does indeed have a sense of humor.

    5) Maybe get Canadians riled up a bit and thinking about MCGA?

    My 2¢ worth, and I probably owe y’all some change from that.

    1. Of course – OF COURSE – he is. But it’s amusing to watch so many Canadians – as I’ve often repeated here, A Ridiculous Little People (“un petit peuple ridicule”) – go off all half-cocked. LOL

      Also find it also HIGHLY amusing that a large percentage of Canadians – and this includes more than a few public pronouncements from prominent Canadian Liberal party members – have made it a core part (“sine qua non”) of their identity to constantly sh*t on and troll Americans and to crow and preen endlessly about their supposed moral and intellectual superiority, etc., etc.

      And they have been able to get away with it – or have at least, been ignored – since forever given that most Americans don’t care and don’t even know that street Canada is on, to quote Al Capone.

      So along comes Trump and Musk who have the audacity to actually give Canadians a taste of the own medicine and troll them back and suddenly many of these same Canadians – and some others who should actually know better (I’m thinking here of several members of our federal and provincial “conservative” parties) – are, to steal a line from Tom Wolfe, screaming like weenies over a wood fire.

      A Ridiculous Little People. Utterly ridiculous

      1. I have met a few Canadians who have taken this very seriously. Like red in the face seriously. They have lost all sense of humor when it comes to the God Emperor.

        We are not a serious country.

        1. That’s because they are ridiculous little people, wringing their ridiculous little Canadian hands, stomping their ridiculous little Canadian feet, shaking their ridiculous little Canadian heads, shrilly shouting in their ridiculous little Canadian voices and accents about their ridiculous little Canadian “values” and whatnot, and how they are “different” (read: preeningly superior in EVERY conceivable capacity) than the those damned Americans.

          It’s mostly bullsh*t and every thinking person knows this.

          Trump – who is “next level” troll – knows just where to hit these people. And if this country were re-imagined along more expansive, confident, muscular, free-market, pro-Westerm, pro-American (read: non-Liberal) lines, none of this trolling would bother anyone nor would Trump even see fit to undertake it.

  24. Trudeau did what he was supposed to do: run up the debt so someone can gobble it up at a fire sale.

    They’re no ordinary thieves.

  25. I wonder if his first instinct was to call Joostaihn “Pussy” instead of “Girl”?

  26. Can we just take baby steps. Let’s start with Alberta (51) and Saskatchewan (52) or vice versa. I’m cool with that either way.

    Imagine Les Quebecois joining the US: Telling the Americans they need to put bilingual signs up at Zion National Park. Demanding transfer payments. etc.

  27. The Democrats are not going to roll on the Trump agenda. They will oppose at every opportunity. They will enlist the Governors and any Industry who’s ox Trump gores. Trump will have his hands more than full at home and all this nonsense about Canada will be long in the rear view mirror. That’s not to say his agenda will not have a deleterious effect on Canada. It will. We need a manager in order to navigate the mine field that’s coming. The LPC is too corrupt to be trusted.

  28. The US federal debt is 36.2 Trillion USD

    Canadian federal and provincial debt is 2.2 trillion $Cdn (approx 1.5 trillion USD)

    The US economy, measured by GDP, is 29.2 trillion USD.
    Canadian economy is 2.2 trillion USD

    The US economy is 13 times larger than Canada’s.
    The US federal debt is 24 times larger than Canada’s.

    1. The U.S. public debt to GDP ratio is 101.46% while Canada is 116.5%.

      The U.S. EXTERNAL debt to GDP ratio is 92.97% while Canada is 154.88%

    2. … Joe

      “The US federal debt is 24 times larger than Canada’s.” That was my point (above reply) “Canada would be relegated to Mississippi status (or worse) if it joined the US , once the US got the oil , water and control of the Arctic which is only what it really wants.”

      Canada would be much worse if it joined the failing US Empire.

    3. The US is a fiscal disaster. Why anyone thinks adding chunks of Canada to that is positive is beyond me. If say, Alberta and Saskatchewan were to separate from Canada (a precondition to joining the US), why join another mess like the US with virtually no control over it. Adopting the US Constitution and “following” it would make much more sense.

  29. Canada is ruined, and will be for the next decade even if the Conservatives took an axe to each and every #Librano – NDP policy and law. There is NO indication that giving the Conservatives card blanche to repair this damage that we’d “bounce back” anytime soon, and we should get used to being economically similar to Mississippi’s status as whatever else is simply dreaming.

    If Canada was doing fine with its affairs, the incoming President wouldn’t be trolling Canadians like this.
    Not happy? This is the legacy of what the #Libranos and NDP have done.
    Have family which still supports the #Libranos or NDP? Sit them down and have “the talk”.

    Ridicule them all, as Elon Musk is doing with The Turd™
    When they cry for being ridiculed, ridicule them for crying, and honk your vehicle horn.
    Always be honking…
    Honk honk honk….

    1. Wait til folks feel some of that Stephen Harper Great Senate Giveaway Pain if the Cons somehow overcome their Tendency To Lose Syndrome.

      The Librano Reich forever!

  30. Did Wilkinson conveniently forget that his boss called Canada a ”Post National State”, not a sovereign nation? Or was he too busy 69ing with the Turd to listen?

  31. Trump’s trolling is a means to distract attention away from what his team is actually doing. The press loves all the outrage bellowed by suckers and completely misses all that Trump wants them to ignore. Canada is safe while California alone is more than enough of an assache. And making little potato Castreau squirm is hilarious.

  32. Before 1965, Canadians (at least the English-speaking ones) delineated themselves from our southern neighbour because of our ties to Britain. We called ourselves “Canadians” and “British subjects” in the same breath. That was the difference between Americans and Canadians – we used to venerate the monarchy. While the Americans didn’t understand the reason for the veneration, they accepted and recognized it as a defining difference between our two societies. That was the only difference between the two societies (back then). However, since the late 60s, Canadian society has moved away from the monarchy and Britain, therefore, there really isn’t anything that differentiates Americans from Canadians. We speak the same language in most of Canada with an accent that sounds like the American mid-west accent, our Maritimers speak like folks from US north-east (Newfoundlanders are a totally different kettle of fish and speak with an Irish accent) we act the same way (foreigners cannot tell us apart when we travel overseas), we both have a state/province of French descendants rife with corruption. So, with the exception of having the king’s crown stamped on a bunch of our official documents and his face (and his mother’s face) stamped on our currency–there really is no difference today, between American and English-speaking Canadian society. I would even put forward that it would be easier for an anglophone Canadian to fit into an American neighbourhood than he would fit into a francophone neighbourhood in Quebec.

    1. I agree. The unwillingness/inability of Anglos in Quebec to learn basic French and communicate with 90% of the population has always made them distinct.

      1. The English in Quebec have always been bilingual. It’s the Montreal immigrant communities that wouldn’t speak French.

  33. Not once has anyone mentioned the raping of western Canada by the east with equalization. This is the battered wives syndrome no doubt in my mind.
    Every single westerner has been bent over with this legislation since its inception. Abundance people ! Open your eyes we need to change and if it’s trump or elon in jest, remember every joke has truth in it

    2. “I’m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he’s admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell.”

      I think it’s just aggravated giddiness at being so close to power.

  37. People who have their nylons twisted over Trump buying Canada are missing the point (other than the obvious master trolling). Trump will only be around for 4 years. Then we will be ruled by the likes of Gavin Newsom. If you liked Trudeau you will love Newsom.

    1. Good point.

      Which begs the question, were Biden or Obama any better than Trudeau (and Trudeau was the worst PM)?

      1. In my books Trudeau was useless, Biden was worse than useless and Obama beats them both (in the worse than useless category).

  38. There’s lots of snow in the hell that Trudeau has made of Canada. Despite all that global warming.

  39. Based on performance..If Dear Leader Justine says “It shall not happen”,we can conclude that we are going to join the USA as an official vassal.
    Irony abounds when traitors such as our Liberals wrap themselves in their flag and claim to be patriots.
    I am so sick of Eastern Canadians and the filth they impose upon us,through their votes,that joining with Alaska looks real good.
    Canada is a kleptocracy.
    There is no saving it.
    The Western Provinces know this.
    The eastern parasites still think that we will pay their bar tab,before we split.
    Sorry Welfare Babies,tab is too big and we in the West got so little..
    Trump is having so much fun,Liberal Heads are exploding across the continent..
    Pure theatre.
    And thanks to the greed and idiocy of our Liberal Party,there will be tariffs…At 25% or better..
    Because Canada has said “We will do nothing to meet President Trump’s concerns about the border” and now can do nothing until April..
    For ensuring that they have a new leader and can salvage some of their electoral chances,is far more important to Liberals,than Canada.
    And our state Funded Media lies on..Dear Leader has not resigned..He has “Promised to resign”..And we all know what a Liberals promise is worth.

  40. I’m guessing here, but I think there’s a strategic reason for all this annexation talk. And it has to do with pulling the aid tit out of many country’s mouths, and ending the fight in Ukraine.
    Imagine the response, if Trump starts talking about making Ukraine a state due to the trillion+ dollars of aid sent their way over the last 4 years. Dictators around the world, who have been so eager to cozy up with the state department as long as the checks roll in, will all be thinking twice.
    Just a thought.

  41. From 2017
    Is it time to stop acting as if Donald Trump were an acceptable and legitimate national leader? That is a key question this week for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
    At some point, Mr. Trudeau will need to show the world that he knows not just how to stroke and cajole, but also how to denounce and condemn. Whether this week’s abuses should push him over that line is not the question – it is whether he has drawn such a line at all.

    Waiting for the ‘better angels” didn’t work. So:

    From 2025
    https://dgardner.substack.com/p/how-canada-should-respond-to-trump

  42. Canamerica. Has a ring to it. No more U-S-A chants would be nice. Does goofball Trump realize absorbing Canada would likely mean at least 6 new states (BC, AB, SK/MB, ON, QC, Maritimes) of which only the prairies would be reliably conservative (Republican). It would mean 12 new senators (do the math – that’s what it should be when you pro-rate by populations). There is no way an area as large and diverse as Canada could have only two senators. Then there are the added house reps (or our share of current seats by population) which would be majority centre left (either Democrat or a party which would likely caucus with the Dems. Point is: absorbing Canada would tilt the balance of power in Washington towards the Dems. Anyway, Trump is just blowing smoke out his ass again.

    1. Sorry, why would “F**king Canada” (sorry, you want act like c**ts, you get spoken about like one) get all these states and all these votes? I don’t recall YOU lot fighting in the Civil War? Or breaking trail to open up the American West? Your political system, society and culture has not “matured” enough to earn you a bunch of Senators and Congressmen. Sorry, it just hasn’t.

      1. Come now, the West was opened up by the Hudson Bay Company 150 years before the Americans got near it, and Canada enthusiastically supported the South in the Civil War. Surely that’s mature.

  43. Canadians forfeited their sovereignty by voting to turn their national defence and security into a joke.

  44. Suddenly Canadians are outraged by the idea of amalgamation with the US. Where was the outrage when Trudeau pronounced “post national?”. What did the country think post- national meant? Don’t forget we have no identity. ( Maybe a nation of genociders.” ). Trudeau did not even acknowledge our national heritage and identity for the 150th anniversary. No expression of regret when the Winnipeg historical Queen Vic statue was destroyed or the many Christian churches burned. Our loss of a sense of nationhood is the handiwork of the Liberals. Trudeau and his party are to blame

    1. It simply means a separation of state and nation, as easy and wholesome as the separation between state and church.

  45. I want to be able to open carry. I really don’t give a crap about anything else. Second amendment.

  46. And we should not overlook the enthusiasm with which all those Sir John A statues were removed, and his name removed from public buildings. All of these things undermine a sense of nationhood. Patriotism has typically been sneared at. Beginning to look like reap what you sow.

  48. Heh.
    Fortress America.
    North America to start with.
    Every serious nation needs defined and defendable borders.
    Cannot get more defined than our coastline.
    And we can reward our Progressive Comrades,the true enemy within, with all kinds of wild prizes..
    My favourite being “Hug a Polar Bear TV”.
    Or they can voluntarily move to France..
    Canada can bleat all we want about “Orange Man Bad”, but we could not defend our nation without the USA.
    And we have refused to act as adults for so long,that Americans do see us as infants.

  49. What we Canadians need -especially the West—is Saskatchewan and Alberta to start the process to leave! We have the Clarity Act to form a Western Nation!
    A Liberal prime minister ,Chretien gave us a way out! I said this before but we have the Clarity Act to leave Canada! The Supreme Court set it up as a vote of 50% +1
    Could we get this to pass with the influx of Immigrants —-I’m not sure but it would be a shot across the bow of the laurentian Elites!

    Manitoba and British Columbia would be invited to do the same! I would also invite the Northern territories!
    Justin Trudeau and Singh have destroyed Canada—-a separate nation in the West is our best hope
