Trudeau now thinks Trump is not joking about taking over Canada.
I think this whole tariff thing about drugs has been smoke and mirrors from the beginning, and now so, too, does the Canadian government.
TORONTO, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday said U.S. President Donald Trump’s talk about absorbing Canada “is a real thing” and is linked to the country’s rich natural resources, a government source said.
I would like to point out I wrote a column about this two weeks ago that got little attention, likely because it was swamped by inauguration day. But it seems reality is catching up. Here’s that column, talking about the fact one should not expect a takeover of Canada to be peaceful. Now I realize a lot of people on here might think the US taking over Canada would be the best thing ever. Not everyone shares that opinion. I spoke to a few people today who used to wear a uniform and humped a pack, and they independently told me they’re basically oiling their rifles and sharpening their knives. And both pointed out that two thirds of international war crimes legislation was written as a result of Canadian actions in prior wars.
(Kate, coming in late: Setting aside Trudeau’s political Hail Mary into the end zone of Canadian paranoia, I think the jittery riflemen can stand down. Beijing has no intention of selling Canada to Trump.)
If President Trump is smart (and you do not become a billionaire by doing “stupid” things) he would only take Alberta, Saskatchewan and the territories. Why would you want a bunch of useless grifters or British Columbia, which is much more like Washington, Oregon and California? Who needs that sort of headache?
I TOTALLY AGREE…………..at least some of us wouldn’t mind that idea………….
He is not smart and became a billionaire because of The Dad That Didn’t Hug Him and his advisors who got Trump money in NYC real estate in the ’80s, which became a money-printing machine, or so I’ve heard.
Also: Alberta and Saskatchewan aren’t interested. No one is interested in jumping aboard the sinking ship that is America.
Ok, you’re jealous of Trump, we all get that.
As for having any idea of what Alberta wants, that Alberta’s mission in life is to be Ottawa’s bitch, you would be very wrong, as per normal.
Canada/Bananada offers nothing but sanctimonious contempt, something you’ve very apt at, as I consider you the prototypical “Canadian.”
Alberta out!
Unreal… Still living on Bizarro World, I see…
Yes, he really is calculatedly contrarian. He looks for the sane common-sense response to a situation and declares the polar opposite. He gets off on the provocation.
Easy there, big fella. BC voted majority right wing last election ( like Alberta did there with wild rose). We are on track to elect the most right wing premier in Canada, John rustad.
So if you go, we go as well!
The BC Conservatives only got slightly less than 44% of the vote. That is not a majority, unless the BC Greens are unicorns ie the the pro-market environmentalists that were once almost common a few decades ago but seem to have left this world like the Elves leaving Middle Earth.
I noticed that you didn’t say the percentage of the vote going to the NDP, but that’s just like people of your ideological ilk… You either suppress the whole truth, or outright lie altogether.
Alberta, Saskatchewan and a large part of B.C. could be a stand alone country…..and a damned successful one.
I’ve said this before Saskatchewan and Alberta should engage the Clarity Act! This is a vote on leaving Canada and has been set up by the Canadian Supreme Court! The vote should be given to all people that would be allowed to vote legally in our elections! For the vote topass the vote must be 50%+1
Manitoba, British Columbia and the Northern territories would in my thoughts invited to provide the same vote in their Prov. Or Territory .
This vote if successful would allow us to escape Quebec and the Canadian Liberals which have destroyed Canada!
And Yes I would engage!
Won’t be an invasion
It will be the US buying up all our sovereign debt and then telling Ottawa
“Pay up or we start seizing assets”
Look, the U.S.A. would probably be happy to take on BC, AB, SK, and MB.
These would be small and medium States by population, likely sized between South Dakota and Minnesota. None of those territories becoming States would drastically upset the political status quo of the U.S.A.
Canada’s more northern territories, YT, NT, and NU, would probably have to be combined into a single State, or merged with Alaska. The populations are small and other States would take issue with their representation in the Senate and Electoral College.
Many Americans wouldn’t want Ontario, because Toronto and Ottawa. I would argue that it is essential for Ontario to become a State as it would give the U.S. a lock on the Great Lakes. Maybe we could just leave the eastern tip of Ontario to Canada, just around Ottawa.
NB, NS, and PE would probably have to be merged into one or two States. Maybe these and NL could just stay in Canada, like Ottawa, so that the Crown doesn’t appear to take a total bath on this.
Nobody here wants Quebec. Maybe France would want it.
I wouldn’t mind seeing B.C., and a few other of your neighborhoods in our vicinity, become part of Alaska, -but you guys gotta keep Vancouver though we get Vancouver Island, of course.
“I wouldn’t mind seeing B.C., and a few other of your neighborhoods in our vicinity, become part of Alaska, -but you guys gotta keep Vancouver though we get Vancouver Island, of course.”
Agreed. I will happily move out of Vancouver if that happens.
Totally Gullible and predisposed to swallowng any liberal campaign horseshit Brian?
We don’t want Canada or Mexico.
We just don’t want our two neighbors Marxist governments that are allying with the Chinese Communists to send drugs into America that kill 100,000 per year. The US lost 58,000 in Vietnam and 400,000 in WWII. In a few years we will surpass that combined amount if things keep going as they are. That’s how bad this has become.
The Marxist Democrats don’t give a damn, but Trump and his voters do.
My guess is that if Pierre Poilievre were PM and his party in control, Trump and he would work this out in 5 minutes. Trudeau hates America and always has. He will obstruct as long as he can. He will be gone sometime this year and this matter will just be a memory soon.
I agree that Trudeau and the Liberals are a big part of the problem. They are intentionally antagonistic to the US.
LindaL
Give Fat Ford his due credit.
Ford is just an opportunist who can put his finger in the wind, his only consistent principle is filling his gut with food and beer.
Unlike his dearly departed brother, Doug does not get all he can eat at home.
“…Trudeau and the Liberals are a big part to the problem.”?
They are THE problem.

I agree with JGIII; it’s about China. I am re-reading “The Secret Speech of General Chi Haotian” from 2003 and this stood out:
“The renaissance of China is in fundamental conflict with the Western strategic interest, and therefore will inevitably be obstructed by the western countries doing everything they can. So, Only by breaking the blockade formed by the western countries headed by the United States can China grow and move toward the world!
Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, [so] how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.”
He also speaks of biological and genetic weapons. We need to wake up!
Full speech here:

” In a few years we will surpass that combined amount if things keep going as they are”
No one is being forced to take fentanyl. You don’t have a right to get rid of it.
“My guess is that if Pierre Poilievre were PM and his party in control, Trump and he would work this out in 5 minutes.”
My guess is you live in the dream world you want to.
Your guess isn’t worth a pitcher of warm spit…..to quote LBJ.
When you accuse someone else as living in a dream world, you’re projecting.
As I keep saying, UnReal, You’re living on Bizarro World. Your arguments don’t hold any water, and are not persuasive at all, because they’re not based on reality. They’re based on fiction that only exists in your little mind.
The more you keep trying to troll the rest of us, the more you show us how UnReal you really are.
You know the saying? “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt.”
Have you tried properly guarding your borders?
Well we know that Brian Z is a closet Liberal. That is obvious. He supports the corrupt Turd, the Turd’s policies and swallows all the lies the Turd spews every time he opens his mouth. He takes the Turd’s side on any issue. Note how he quotes from the fake news outlets.
don’t forget how much he’d love to gobble Zelensky’s knob if given the chance.
The fake drama is the most pathetic thing, “sharpening their knives and oiling their rifles”. If any of them have an ounce of patriotism, they would welcome Americans as liberators, our existing power structure having sold us out to China, enslaved and impoverished the citizens, and abused their freedoms so thoroughly. If some want to be martyrs, I’m sure the US military would grant them that choice.
Our Navy? LMAO, sunk in 20 minutes, easier when they are alongside because the boats don’t work, have no fuel or ammunition. The Canadian Army? Such as it is, surrender or die should be an easy choice. American weapons can reach them beyond their range to return fire, let alone close air support. The Air force? Any pilot who lifts off will die without knowing what killed them. Hint: a Raptor or an F-35, against decades old generationally obsolete CF18’s is not a fair fight.
The informal community watch/patrol group chat that we have in our area to deter crime have a better response time than RCMP and are better armed than typical Canadian military or cops, We could take out the Canadian forces in our region most likely.
And yet the US military got its ass handed to it by a bunch of inbred goat humping sister marrying retards.
Because politicians refused to let them loose. They could have wiped out all of the Afghans if they were given the nod. Stupid people running the military cost American lives and trillions of dollars over the decades.
“And yet the US military got its ass handed to it by a bunch of inbred goat humping sister marrying retards.”
Yeah, not even close.
Police actions like Afghanistan or Iraq (or Vietnam, for that matter) are a sucker’s game for any military if the politicians that control them will not allow them to win. Fighting a ‘publicly acceptable’ war is doomed to failure. Give the US military a task, impose *no restrictions* on them and see how long the PLA or any other military in the world lasts against them.
Having done a considerable amount of time in the military, I’ll go out on a limb here and state that the couple of people “oiling their rifles and sharpening their knives” barely passed basic training and are just simple sh*t pumps that never made it out of Battle School.
You know, the Half Daft Daves that wear their dogtags outside their t-shirt when heading to the bar.
Meanwhile, I’ll be just this side of the Montana border handing out coffee and sandwiches to our liberators.
LoneRanger to be more correct it is the “son” of Pierre the Turd so you should refer to it as Turd Jr.
I can’t imagine anyone who has trained with or fought with the American military would be sharpening their bayonet or oiling their rifle. Canada’s military is a pathetic broken down shadow of what it once was, and every CF person knows that. The survivability of your average CF member who resisted an American invasion would be hours, maybe a day if lucky. The whole notion of resistance is laughable and only the place for blow hards. America would utterly destroy the CF without a single yanky boot ever touching Canuck soil and without the use of nukes. Air Power would be all it takes. Sharpening bayonets is a joke.
Like they did with the Taliban?
I explained that to you Rusty.
Wars are ultimately decided by politicians, not soldiers, and the US hasn’t won a war since 1945.
Glad I read your post before I replied. Anyone who believes a word of what Trudeau or his lapdog propagandists say needs to give their heads a shake. They have lied about everything every time. The truth would kill them.
I’m with you. Trudeau is trying to ride the hysterical anti-Americanism pony back into office. No one should bite on this.
Yep and then adding the narrative that PP is just “Trump of the north.”
Agreed on all fronts. This is Covid propaganda hysteria 2.0. It’ll be just enough for the sheeple to beg Carney to save us. With this possibility, our family considers fleeing to the US as you could stick a fork in Canada. We haven’t learned anything.
Aye. Watch the TV, believe everything you see. It’s an easy life but it leaves you gibbering.
The surprise might be that any invading US forces would be met by Chinese forces in Bananada, on the invitation of Carney/Turd.
“Trudeau now thinks……….”
Now, that’s funny.
Yup.”Trudeau thinks..”
Dear Leader will say whatever his script says.
The people who put those words together for the vacuous twit,believe Canadians are stupid.
And Eastern Canada may prove them right.
All the media and “intellectuals” are shouting the same propaganda.
Which boils down to the anti- American Crap that “Central Canada” is infamous for.
If Albertan’s have not noticed by now,that same pearl clutching,spewing of hatred,by very small people,is directed at every Western enterprise.
The contempt toward Canadian Conservatives,as mini me’s .speaks for itself.
As did the Prime Minister’s shock ,horror and terror when those filthy Western Truckers dared come to his little town.
Recall not one member of the government dared to hear the concerns of Western Canadians.
Instead they called us,A threat to the nation” and imposed their versus of Martial Law.
So .
Is Mr Trump serious?
I hope so.
Bring it on.
Offer me some real rights and freedoms that are constitutionally protected.
Go ahead offer me the rights citizens of the USA take for granted,that are now proven to NOT Exist in Can Ahh Duh.
Go ahead,offer me political union with a people, who share my values.
Montana and Alaska are better neighbours than Manitoba and points East , Coastal BC swarms with virtue signalling hypocrites.
If only Trump was serious.
Instead of trolling the Fools and Bandits of Ottawa.
And?
If he is?
What is this defenceless bankrupt post national confederated kleptocracy gonna do about it?
Yeah, that is funny…but never underestimate your enemy’s intelligence, and never attribute to ignorance, that which can be explained by malice.
This is just politics. Painting the Liberals as saviours of Canada from a non-existent threat. Reminds me of his fight against the non-existent threat of climate change.
And of course, at the same time painting the Conservatives as allies of Trump. Because it’s easier and more effective to campaign against Trump than Poilievre.
Trump has to take over, the government is so corrupted by the Chinese it’s unsalvageable and can’t be fixed by external pressure. It’s no different than when a US friendly banana republic chooses the wrong government and a little regime change is necessary. We’re in line for a reverse color revolution (yes I deliberately dropped the “u” from color…).
RNrn
So let me see if I get this straight.
Donald Trump says he wants to turn Canada into the 51st state.
That would mean that Canadians would become Americans, and would be able to vote in American elections.
And that means that out of all the Canadians eligible to vote, 2/3 of which would either vote Liberal or NDP, and only a third would vote Conservative.
We have tens of Millions of Voters in Canada and the fact that the majority would vote Left, would mean the complete and utter destruction of the Republican Party in America for the next hundred years.
It would mean that people like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, Obama and other incompetent, leftist scum,on and on and on ,would hands down win all future elections in America for the next hundred years.
Absolutely ridiculous!
Yeah, that’s why the math doesn’t work.
Yes – regardless of how they split it up into states, the democrats would gain senators and congressmen, enough to control both houses forever.
Umm…Puerto Ricans don’t vote in US federal elections. Neither would Canadians. No chance we become a full state, think Puerto Rico and Guam.
RNrn
a) Trumpy said “51st State”
b) To be admitted into the Union, Congress has to approve. Do you think the Dems would vote for this if they couldn’t get electoral votes out of the deal?
The population is that of CA or slightly less. The votes could not possibly be sufficient to keep democrats in power, the vote would be that of one state if the entire country became one state. Good grief.
?????
Half,or MORE of Canadians would LEAVE Canada to move to a U.S. state with a warmer climate with less than a foot of snow per year.
I agree.
I think you’ll find that if the entire country voted as one collective state, you’ll see that the majority will vote against “absorption” (sorry, I can’t think of a better term). The only way that I can see the west vote to join the US is if they secede from Canada first.
I’m an American. Relax. We have no intention of absorbing Canada. I grew up in Maine and am always surprised about how little the rest of the country thinks of Canada. I once had a guy from Virginia wondering why I greeted someone in Old Orchard Beach in French – he had no idea there were French speakers on our border. 90% – at least – of our population know nothing about Canada and cares less, but know we have enough problems with our two languages without adding a third.
Trump is the master of misdirection. Look at how his Gaza statement allowed him to change our official posture towards Iran without the usual sturm und drang.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-revives-tough-approach-to-iran-warns-against-nuclear-weapon/ar-AA1ypTZp
I have no idea why he wanted to get Ms. Castreau all upset, but it’s not because we’re fixing to invade Canada. It’s because Trump wants to direct your attention away from something. It can’t be for our benefit because no one in the United States has noticed.
We might want Alberta and Saskatchewan, but there would have to be OVERWHELMING popular support in those provinces first, and I just can’t see that happening. The people there are Canadian.
^^^ this. We have enough nuts in our country with California, we don’t need yours.
Trump, like much our country, has utter contempt for you pussy prime minister and just gets delight from tweaking him and those that support him. Unfortunately he’s still there, and sometimes I think it’s going a bit too far.
Unfortunately The 51st State fiasco is putting wind in Liberal sails.
Only because people like Brian are IMBECILES.
Seriously, I am disgusted. Suddenly we’re all going to leap up and defend the Liberal machine that’s been crushing us our whole lives? Stealing our money, exporting our jobs, throwing us in prison? To the point where they’re literally importing -millions- of people to replace us?
How stupid can people be? I thought the Libtards were the pinacle, but this is like a whole new realm of stupid.
Do not underestimate the political ignorance of your typical dumb Canuckistanian.
They are the result of decades of psy-ops programming.
“Unfortunately The 51st State fiasco is putting wind in Liberal sails.”
Not enough to matter, Linda.
I find most Albertans, even those who profess to be conservative, would be Blue Staters. It’s only us Albertans, with a couple of exceptions, here on SDA that would would go Red.
Alberta is only a few years removed from Rachel, Nenshi, and now there’s whatsername the current mayor of Calgary. There’s less difference between Alberta and Ontario than some of you like to think.
Rachel, Nenshi and whatsername, the current mayor of Calgary are toast.
We had voting machines in our elections and a very stupid Conservative party not fighting against the media/NDP lies.
I think that you’ll find that a majority in the west are anti-Trudeau. Is there a majority to vote for absorption with the US? Maybe not, but I think you’ll find that there’s a significant number here that likes the idea. It’s hard to gauge the issue, because no pollster has asked the question.
Well, couldnt we just do what the Liberals are doing with Mark Clowney being an unelected PM?
Wait til Conservatives win the election, then PP steps down, have Trump run for Leadership of the Cons, boom. Trump now PM of Canada?
He then prorogues indefinitely so no need to worry about pesky things like the “house of commons”…and runs things as he pleases.
Page right out of the libs guidebook?
That’s pretty far-fetched, even for me.
Only cause it wouldnt be done by the few sane canadians still around…
Ludicrous ….but, not much different than having Marky Mark and His Climate bunch as PM.
We flatter ourselves… who would want to take over this cold mess? Honestly, people need to chill.
So true. I’m always amazed that the left can take an issue, turn it into a panic and create fear, and the media just amplifies that message. Peeps- it’s called the art of the deal. (Saw a tweet – now that Trump says he’ll take over Gaza, Jordan and Egypt are falling over themselves to do it. That’s how you get the countries, including ours, to fit themselves)
“I think this whole tariff thing about drugs has been smoke and mirrors from the beginning, and now so, too, does the Canadian government.”
One error brain, you emote, you do NOT think.
As to becoming part of the USA, bring it on, would love it.
“Canadian” politicians, celebrities, academics, etc. have all been trashing canadian history for years now and changing the names of all sorts of places here because they hate it so much.
Activists have been destroying statues, paintings, and burning the “Canadian” flag for years too.
All “Canadians” prior to the current regime were racist, sexist, homophobic people who committed genocide according to all the best people in this place now.
All the right people, the people better than you, hated the place called canada and want rid of it.
No one did anything to stop them.
But now that their power could be threatened, I’m supposed to be patriotic?
Blow it out your @$$…
Agreed, couldn’t care less one way or another. Who governs me will have zero impact on my life, although I imagine I’d be better off under Trump than Trudeau, neither of who are going to be around for all that long.
agree
I couldn’t believe I was reading this in SDA.
Is this an awkward attempt at satire?
No, this is the reason the Liberals have ruled for 75 years. Morons who will stand up and salute the likes of the #ShinyPony if an American says something.
Some people are just desperate to be told what to do. Nice to see them self-identify like this though, I must say. Now at least I know who to keep an eye on.
I could not agree more.
I thought similarly. Click Bait. See it all the time on SM. The wife asks me daily about some outrageous headline on her FB feed, and 99% of the time it’s CLICK BAIT, a headline demonstrably untrue and misleading.
But, zinchuk has Stockholm Syndrome. He has been beaten down so much by the Turd and his anti O&G policies, that he now bows to his captor and believes n the same BS.
I’m still waiting for him to LARP into Ukraine.
The 51st state issue is as stated, used to deflect and annoy from Trump’s real objective.
ANYONE that believes Trudeau, a LIEberal, or the MSM, needs a medical consult for their lack of objective thinking capabilities.
Trudeau and his ilk, including the Poison Dwarf Freeland and Carbetbagger Carney, will run any moral panic play they can think of to keep their painted talons dug into political power for one second longer. That includes jingoistic BS like this. Absorbing Canada and its 70% “free lunch”
Socialist voters would guarantee rule by the furthest left democrats for a generation and destruction of America in much less than that. Trump is trolling a lame duck PM and Trudeau is trying to parlay that into brainless outrage to stave off his party being Kim Campbelled into oblivion.
And before anyone accuses me of treason, I’m 4th generation Canadian military, and my son is 5th. I’m also not an idiot and so am not going to fall for yet more Lieberal propaganda. Vote that mincing moron out and watch north-south relations improve instantly. Oh, and Canada’s economy, self-image, and international reputation will also improve, in case that’s of any interest to anyone.
“…they’re basically oiling their rifles and sharpening their knives.”
It’s funny nobody has been saying that about the GENUINE, REAL, government-arranged invasion from China, India and Pakistan. But an American trolls our useless PM and -now- it’s all hands on deck?
You deserve to live in poverty, you idiots.
And by the way Brian, if your sh1t isn’t ready to go 24/7 you are a poseur.
Exactly. At worst, any “invasion” will be a police action designed to put a stop to the real invasion from Red China, Pakistan and the Muslims, Sikhs and untouchables not welcome in Modi’s India.
Count me in as someone who would cheerfully greet the Americans with sweets and flowers. What have we to lose? French on our cereal boxes? Being ruled over by people who insist that Israel and not the globalists and their Chinese communist cronies are the misfortune of mankind?
If it’s a choice between the corrupt China/Liberal regime or Trump I’ll choose Trump.
The problem is that Canuckistanians don’t see the issue being framed that way. They don’t see China as a threat (thanks to our pro-canuckistan/pro-China media), only the US.
Bullshit. “Both” of those “few” ex-solders will be vastly outnumbered and liquidated by their former comrades fighting for values long abandoned in this forsaken country.
I’m not ex-military…but one things for sure…I won’t be answering any call to arms to fight for faux patriot freedom hating socialists and degenerates.
Exactly. As a shitty example of ex-military, I won’t either.
And I buy my ammo in bulk.
Nor I.
MY guns will remain safely locked up, should the Americans decide to make a move.
anyone saying they’re oiling their guns and sharpening their knives to fight the USA is either one of two things.
1) a pathological liar – most of the people opposed to Trump are Liberals and/or cuckservatives and as such either don’t own guns and knives or don’t know how to use them and are therefore liars.
2) supporters of Nazi Ukraine – these degenerate leftists may legitimately fight against an annexation and have some guns and knives, but we all know how effective Ukraine supporters are at anything and they’ll be taken out by partisans in Canada before Americans cross the border.
You forgot anti-Semites and China-lovers. But that would be a distinction without a difference.
Any self-styled “Canadian” who takes up arms against Alberta deserves to have his guts fed to the pigs, and can expect to have his neighbours see that it’s done.
The only joke is Brian Zinchuk.
Reading his articles are almost as bad as listening to Murray Wood’s retarded Trump Derangement Syndrome on the radio.
No one is going to annex Canada. Justin is promoting this conspiracy theory in the hopes that gullible Canadians will fall for it. So far, many of them are unfortunately. The reality is that there’s about as much evidence for annexation as there is for a boogeyman under my bed.
Its a good way to call off a federal election and maybe even a Party election.
I’m afraid you are exactly right, as much as I would hope that you are wrong.
Maybe Trump has been reading Merger of the Century. authored by National Post columnist Diane Francis. I think she still writes for them.
https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/merger-of-the-century-why-canada-and-america-should-become-one-country/9781554688760.html
Rather than continuing on this road to mutual decline, our two nations should chart a new course. Bestselling author Diane Francis proposes a simple and obvious solution: What if the United States and Canada merged into one country? The most audacious initiative since the Louisiana Purchase would solve the biggest problems each country expects to face…
I wouldn’t call your gun oiling, knife sharpening pals liars…But I wouldn’t want them to think I believe them either. Thanks for the laugh.
Diane Francis. Ex-American and sufferer of the worst TDS ever recorded.
Buy Canadian eh? Okay, then why did my gas price here in BC jump up 20 cents per litre on the day the tariffs were to kick in? We got a 30 day reprieve but the gas increase remains in place. Don’t for a minute think that Canadian dealers and manufacturers will not increase their prices on the threat of tariffs, ever if those tariffs do not apply to goods manufactured here. Why? Because they can and they know Canadians are sheeple. Buy Canadian? Will Canadians stop using Amazon? Or Netflix? Or Spotify. I doubt it. Will they stop going to Hawaii? Puerto Rico? I doubt it. One guy told me he will go to Hawaii because he doesn’t think Hawaii is legitimately part of the US. Really!! No, Canadians are a bunch of cherry pickers when it comes to tariffs.
Queerdeau altho sayth heth a feminitht.
…but only when it’s convenient for him/her/it.
If the USA is smart they will cut out Alberta, Sask, Manitoba, maybe the Yukon, where the oil and hydro and the arctic port are, and maybe the east side of BC along one of the natural geographic mountain barriers. The vast majority of people in these regions are conservative and have views that align with the Americans. They will leave Quebec and Ontario to rot in their progressive corruption. Not sure about the Maritimes.
Why the hell would Trump want to takeover Canada when he can buy anything he wants for 60 cents on the dollar. Wars are expensive. Even ones with Canada that will last about 20 minutes. And then, what to do with the 20 million socialists that all want a handout. At least the Mexicans are willing to work.
THIS! X100 in Quebec.
YES YES YES!!!!
Every culture has its share of survivalists ‘oiling their rifles’ in expectation of the coming apocalypse…which invariably never comes. I know, I know… this time it’s different…sigh…
Unbelievably disappointed in Brian. If you wear a mask America won’t spread.
I for one, and I am not alone, would welcome the ushering in of Canada becoming the 51st State, rather than suffer under 4 years under the Liberal/NDP/WEF regime.
I see yesterday CTV did a hit piece on Amazon selling “51st State” caps and flags declaring them offensive items, to which Amazon disagreed; considers them free speech. I subsequently picked up 3 items. Oh, and Amazon also shut down the Libtard campaign of posting garbage comments about the products.
I’m heading to Amazon right now!!!
why does anybody read the crap this Liberal puts up?
I doubt that Trump is joking.
1. He has proposed annexing both Greenland and Panama, apparently in all seriousness. Why then when talking about Canada is he suddenly joking?
2. There’s no evidence that fentanyl and illegal immigrants are entering U.S. from Canada in massive amounts. U.S. Customs seized 44 lbs of fentanyl last year at the northern border, 1/250th that of the southern border. This compels one to wonder what Trump’s real motivation is for threatening to impose tariffs that would cripple two major economies.
Small amounts have been seized at the border. That DOES NOT MEAN that massive amounts aren’t getting across. There are trucking companies that carry loads of the stuff across the border, hidden within other freight. I read an article on it recently but can’t find it now. Foreign immigrants are heavily involved, and they also own the trucking companies that do the smuggling.
It kinda does. It’s reasonable to assume that if massive amounts of fentanyl are crossing the border, U.S. Customs would have intercepted more than 44 lbs.
But surely the onus is on Trump to provide solid evidence before he threatens an entire nation with impoverishment. Drastic action when it’s questionable whether there’s a serious problem with fentanyl coming over the northern border is an abuse of power.
No….it doesn’t “kinda”. It shows lousy enforcement.
That argument is called begging the question or circular reasoning — assuming the very thing which is in contention.
At any rate, if U.S. Customs is doing such a lousy job, it would make sense for Trump to dramatically beef up U.S. security at the northern border. If as a result they seize masses amounts of fentanyl, then yeah, there’s a verified problem.
But assuming there’s a massive problem without evidence in order to justify destroying Canada’s (and America’s) economy ? That’s insane.
“It kinda does. It’s reasonable to assume that if massive amounts of fentanyl are crossing the border, U.S. Customs would have intercepted more than 44 lbs.”
NO it is not. It’s stupid to assume that.
Given the fact that 85% of the US Border Patrol are the the Canada-Mexico border, obviously there will be less interceptions on the *much longer* Canada-US border with only 15% of the personnel patrolling.
1. If 85% of the U.S. patrol are focusing on the Canada-Mexico border, they’ve got bigger problems than I thought.
2. You’ve assumed it’s the border patrol that is the problem. More likely is fentanyl being smuggled through the border crossings.
“There’s no evidence that fentanyl and illegal immigrants are entering U.S. from Canada…”
Except for all the a-holes that keep getting busted with kilograms of fentanyl in Ontario, Alberta and BC etc. and at the border too. You know how many doses in a kilo of fentanyl? Look it up, you’ll be shocked.
And except for the Mexican cartel guys who keep getting busted in Canada. For selling drugs. And then they get released on the federal catch-and-release program.
Trump doesn’t seem to hide his motivations much. It’s a drug war. People are dying. Poilievre has been saying more Canadians have died of drugs in the last ten years than died in WWII, and he’s been saying it a lot longer than Trump’s been president.
People are so f-ed they’re living in tents in the f-ing parks, Marmot. In the winter. What more evidence do you need? But Trump is the bad guy. FFS.
There’s a difference between fentanyl within a country, and fentanyl crossing the border. The two are not the same.
A shrewd assessment of Trump, based on… well, ten years of lunatic masturbating fantasy, isn’t it? Brian Zinchuk has at least looked him in the eye, although the experience seems to have turned him into a newt. You have watched TV and drooled. That’s your expertise.
Wake up to the real world, man. Trump hasn’t even been told yet what his real motivations are. The shape-shifting space lizards who control him don’t want him to know too soon.
Thanks for that fact-free personal assault. It really adds to the debate.
Given the quality of this debate, it actually did. A big improvement over rodent farting.
There’s also no evidence that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl. Trump was quoted as saying there was nothing Canada and Mexico could do to avoid the tariffs and that it was a ‘purely economic measure’.
Trump simply doesn’t understand trade and is a maniac who wants to reorder it by force based on the lunatic writings of Cass and Miran as outlined in the Terrence Corcoran article I posted in Reader Links.
Trump stopped the tariffs for the reason that Jonah Goldberg pointed out: he hates seeing the stock market decline on his watch. Things went red, Trump panicked.
Lincicome said a few days ago that as long as Trump is in power and the IEEPA is American law, the US can’t be relied for trade. I’d go further and say the US can’t relied on period.
I agree. The fentanyl / illegal immigration justifications were only settled on as “the reason” in the last week of January. Before then, all sorts of justifications were being thrown out. It was a solution in search of a problem.
How cute, the sock puppets are talking to each other!
Anything to keep the drugs and human trafficking flowing. Their panicking.
How cute, DanBC doesn’t have anything to say again.
So it was Trump that blinked?
More evidence of UnReal not following good advise not to speak. (see my comment above)

If the DOGE team ever came north and algorithmicly audited our government spending, I have little doubt that the resulting scandal would destroy any legitimacy our political class still has and open the door to a US merger.
I think Brian and his military friends may be on to something. With the imminent collapse of the front lines in Ukraine, Canada is sure to welcome large numbers of battle hardened Azov fighters who will be happy to carry on here. Combine them with our thousands of new Afghan fellow citizens who have experience fighting the Americans, and this thing looks doable. We might be able to hold out against the Americans for, who knows – 7 to 10 days maybe.
Well…at least for as long as we can keep the latrines stocked with feminine products.
Ukrainians refugees can’t handle defending their own country nor can they handle working on Canadian farms and ranches, they’ll be even less effective defenders than the Syrian military.
Only if the Yanks kept stopping for coffee and snacks at the nearest Timmy Ho’s. Which, to be fair, is something that they’d probably do.
After all, who wants to wage a campaign on an empty stomach?
My estimate was based on US tank columns stopping at all of the red lights on their way north.
Ukraine’s front lines have been ‘imminently collapsing’ for nearly a year now, and yesterday they just advanced at least 3 km in Kursk.
So you are told.

Mainstream news? Still haven’t learned a damn thing but that’s your great value to this blog.
I’m gonna sit this one out…
As long as I can keep the C.A.G.E. acronym and get funding up and running, I’m alright with real freedom of speech, real property rights and real self-defence rights.
But AAGE would work as well: “The American Arctic Gulag of Ellesmere – You Go There For Life.”
The ‘story’ the press is spinning suggests they overheard the Bong warning of Trump’s desire to make Canada the 51 State.
Somehow a redstar reporter was standing by an open door and overheard something only intended for the audience.
Yeah sure. Librano bullshit
The spawn of the first Trudeau nation destroyer loves a crisis where he can shut down parliament and rule over the dominion as a despot. This is his second and purportedly last chance to repeat that state of affairs. Just like the COVID “crisis”, over-hyping, hysteria, and thuggery are his signature tactics. The polls, until recently have shown proper disgust with his record of economic and cultural vandalism. With the cover of Carney’s anointment and his 2 billion dollar / year taxpayer funded media / campaign machine, things are looking up for his party. With a little help from Singh, his favorite water carrier, they can keep the hysteria going until October or beyond perhaps with an other “emergency measures” declaration. The “post national” Prime Minister wrapped securely in a flag of convenience.
He sucked in Brian and others too.
Palestine is not a real country, and neither is Canada. Only the Chinese Communist Party benefit from their continued existence. If Trump succeeds in tossing them both into the dustbin of history, he’ll be remembered as a hero of Western civilization just for that.
Heck, it’ll be worth it just to finally force the French Canadians to speak something resembling English. The government of Canada employees who can’t speak adequate English will be the first for the chop. And nobody will put French on cereal boxes unless forced to.
Or even use metric. I look forward to the first weather forecast on Canadian radio where the announcer can finally report the temperature in real degrees, degrees Fahrenheit.
But as I pointed out a couple of weeks ago, we would be going to those puny US gallons and not the gallons we had before PET Euroweenied us.
OMG don’t get me started on f-ing metric. Gas sold in QUARTS?!!! A friggin’ liter isn’t even a whole quart, it’s an American quart.
He’s teasing to make a point. And the liberals are trying to get the Andrew Coynes to have hysterics about the possibility of something happening that is totally effing ridiculous. Give your head a shake, guy.
The ” hot mic ” was planned in my opinion so justine can pretend to stand up to orange man bad. It’s unfortunate that so many Canadians will buy it and support him.
We kidding ourselves if we think we’re going to become a State right off the bat. We’ll end up as a territory or territories for a decade at least, at best. Meaning no federal representation but with federal taxes. Statehood requires a Constitutional amendment and the US has lots to clean up before they start looking at that.
“Taxation without representation is tyranny” was a rallying cry of the American War of Independence.
A few islands stuck out in the middle of the Pacific is one thing, but would Americans betray their ideals in the case of 42 million people?
Yeah, they might.
If I have it correctly all but 2 States entered the Union via amendment. Until that time they were all territories and worked with the same rules.
Odds are they don’t want one State that is equal in size to the other 50 States combined so we’d be broken down into 3 or 4 States at least. With new States they’ll have to upsize the Senate and I doubt they’re in the mood to add 8 new leftist Senators any time soon.
I don’t like that idea either KM, but I am now governed by the laurentian Elite, and democracy here is more show than substance. Since the taxes are half, yeah I can go with it.
Natural US Territory residents do not pay US federal income taxes. If you move to take up residence in a US state then you pay. Persons moving to a US Territory also pay.
Also, US law prohibits foreigners from owning real property in a US Territory unless it was acquired before (I believe) 1910. So China would get the boot.
The U.S. will not hesitate to collect federal income tax on 42 million people, many of them affluent.
Not with their current deficit.
Or perhaps some Lieberal advisors have recommended that the Lieberal base & others have severe cases of TDS, so saying such things is advantageous to defeating Poilievre?!
^^THIS.
These guys track their internal polling slavishly, and I guarantee that their numbers are looking far more favourable if they keep the anti-Americanism (y’know, “American-style politics”) going hard.
They only need the vote-efficient seats in Central Canada to pull a rabbit out of the hat, and that’s what they’re working on.
There will be no “51st state,” and Canucks who say otherwise are risibly naïve.
This!
Exactly, Justin’s poll numbers were on the rise when the tariff BS was going on.
My God, my FB pages were filled with “proud” Canadians who would deliver a blow to the Yanks buy only buying Canadian, LOL!
Canadians have always had an inferiority complex when it comes to the Yanks and the Libs know how to use it, unfortunately. . .
^^THIS.
I would add that here in Ottawa, a lot of bigmouths have TDS. These loudmouths also:
– do not buy groceries
– never had their bank accounts frozen
Go ahead and sharpen those bayonets. Perhaps Trump will instruct the US military to invade on horseback.
I suspect a half dozen DOGE boys could disable Ottawa on the back of a couple cases of Red Bull, and the promise of vodka when they have reached the age of 21.
Perhaps Sox will commission a marching song based on his past victory defending Ottawa from Western insurrectionists and you can all sing it for him.
Or perhaps the US Army will be as effective as they were against the inbred goat humping sister marrying retards of the Taliban.
Heh…sure have enough of those already here. Wonder whose side they’ll be on in all this?
Yes, the IED builders are already resident.
The US army was very effective against those medieval freaks, depending on who was holding the leash. When they first went in, they went through them like a hot knife through butter, then things changed. Don’t listen to me, check out Sean Parnell. Once Bam Bam got in, the REMF took over, lawyers are not great commanders from Washington.
ISIS was a decadal problem until Trump, then weeks. A poignant quote: “What are you going to do with the prsioners?” “we’re not taking any.”
Trump is interested in Canada because he heard the last time we went to war with you, DC burned. He calls that “Plan B.”
My take on this is that Trudeau does not have the means or intent to follow through with the agreement he made to secure our border with the US. So he hopes to distract from this by forcing attention into another direction. Or in terms that anyone can understand “Look, a squirrel”
Two thumbs up.
That would involve bucking his paymasters, and exposing how deep into organized crime The Libranos are.
I’ve always been saying that the turd WANTS this trade war!
“Look, a squirrel!,” cont.
What are all you patriots going to do next week when Sox stages a false flag event somewhere along the border and declares himself Queen for Life?
They’d probably welcome it. Given our experience during the pandemic, Canada is more likely to adopt a dictatorship than the US.
Everything Blackie says is a lie.
(Especially when he’s apologizing.)
The POS is still Prime Ruler and until he’s legally not, he can do and say whatever the fck he wants, including getting half-wits to become super nationalists.
Never underestimate the fervor of the new recruit.
It seems Incredible that you can have “super nationalists” in a “post-national state” with “no core identity.”
I expect Blinky Zinchuk and his Green Mounted Boys will have something to say about it. Although, if experience is any guide, nothing intelligible.
The comparisons to “the man with the moustache” and “1938” are valid…provided you ignore the previous 20 years of German history. That means ignoring the devastating human and economic losses of WWI, the ensuing national bankruptcy and the civil war that followed it, the hyperinflation and cultural chaos of the Weimar years, the adoption of the explicitly collectivist Weimar constitution, all of which left Germany with a psychologically brutalized population whose capacity for critical thinking had been utterly destroyed. That population looked out on the chaos and begged for someone to bring order, any order, to their lives which culminated with the Reichstag voting itself out of existence. The United States is light years away from the conditions that would usher in such a dictatorship, much less a violent annexation of its neighbors.
Yes, the comparisons are startling, but try to get Canuckistanians to wake up to that reality, and you’ll be branded a trader… Hmmm… just like pre-WWII nazi Germany.
Ooops…That should have been “traitor.” (we need a synonym check to go along with our spell check algorythms.)
Perhaps he meant “trailer”?
When the Liberals hold on power depends on diverting the voters attention from their past thefts and their current corruption….?
“Orange Man Bad”.
It polls so well.
WEXIT .
As I said. Never, ever underestimate the complete and total stupidity of the Kanadian sheeple.
Canada isn’t what it was in WW2 or Korea. We have allowed ourselves to be governed by brainless milksops for too long. Justine challenging Trump envisages a hamster vs a wolverine.
All Kanadians worried about was how much free stuff was offered.
Militarily Canada is currently what it was in 1939.
Not even. In 1939 most teenagers knew which end of a gun the bullets came out, and they weren’t morbidly obese. And they could count back change.
…and not need to shit in a litter box.
Every election needs a Bogeyman.
Brian, when you find yourself in agreement with idiots, you should reflect on your reasoning and logic, not trumpet the agreement.
What if the Americans decide they don’t want Canada and they don’t want our oil, water, electricity, soy, wheat, minerals? We’re fooked. What if Trump is just getting ready to punish Canada for letting the Chinese set up their criminal enterprises along America’s largest undefended border? Stand over here. Stand over there. Kneel on one knee. Now fly like a butterfly. We will do all this and then he’ll put on the tariffs. Because we aren’t being an honorable neighbor.
Trump has said on many occasions that the US really doesn’t need all the resources that Canada can supply.
So Justin thinks he can turn Trump’s remarks into a Reichstag fire moment to con the Canadian people into giving Liberals more time to finish strangling the life out of Canada.
Any Canadian who buys this has rocks in his head.
Brian, do you really think there are no fentanyl labs, or massive drug money laundering in Canada? If you do, I have a political party I’d like to sell you. You might check out Stephen Punwasi’s writing on this, before you crawl out any farther on this limb. ( Remember the $3 billion TD money-laundering fine? )
At some point, you have to admit Canada is a failed state with a totally brainwashed populace.
“do you really think there are no fentanyl labs, or massive drug money laundering in Canada? ”
There’s no evidence Canada is a serious fentanyl production center or that Trump actually cares about that. He said so himself.
Money laundering is a beautiful thing.
Said clearly by an Ostrich. How’s your Chow Mein and Dim sum today?
Come now, this guy hangs around with Warren Kinsella. Nothing but the finest cat for him!
Unless you have children educated and coming of age in a country where despite being able to make (relatively) good incomes, between taxes and rent can never dream of home ownership, then you might think differently. The real estate market in Canada is totally distorted with laundered drug money, among other things, making houses twice as much as in the US, despite incomes being only 60% of US incomes.
I have one daughter in California now, the other very likely to head south, why should they spend their lives as wage slaves paying taxes for for a failed socialist shithole, when any benefits from that are no longer existent?
Now you believe what Trump says?!
Money laundering on the scale it occurs in Bananada is b/c we’re Bananada, a kleptocratic joke w nice landscapes, owned by China.
Money laundering as a “beautiful thing” is why we cannot create or have beautiful things, like owning a home in the land of one’s birth.
There goes UnReal again… burying his head in the sand like an Ostrich. Hmmm… perhaps I’ll give UnReal a new nickname… He needs a re-branding, much like the Conservative party is looking for.
I’m afraid Canuckistanians with rocks in their head may number into the majority.
