Prime Minister Trudeau says U.S. President Trump is trying to prompt “a total collapse of the Canadian economy” because he thinks that will “make it easier to annex us.”

Justin’s media seems to be ignoring Poilievre’s press conference. However they are excited about Doug Ford stating that he will go down to the U.S. during the midterms to campaign against Trump.
Sorry but I can’t watch the idiot for more than 5s. Someone should take the bullet: watch it all and make a little brief text. Anyway, I doubt that there’s anything relevant. Just more melodrama, fake posturing and cheap feisty emo-teenager trash-talk.
Ditto. Tuned out that dilettante, effete drama teacher. Sound of his voice makes me wretch. His smugness and aloofness are beyond belief.
Canada is still at the first stage of the Seven Stages of Grief, going to Stage 2.
Denial, and Anger. This excuse for a government is content to burn this country down and rule over the ashes.
Hope you got your Aurum and bought your $Am before this week.
Dan and Dan, agree with both of you. I never would have thought that any person could make me feel as violently hostile as this twit.
Justin should stick to what he knows best: hitting on west coast under age school girls.
Are we sure it was girls?
But, but, but … your immensely seasoned and highly educated PM just lectured Billionaire President Trump about economics … and scared the American people by saying YOU Americans are going to PAY$$ for the tariffs!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mommaaaaaaaaaaaa …
Hey genius … your annoyingly fake-looking plastic dollars are only worth $0.70 of ours. Psssst … the tariffs won’t matter because you’ve devalued you dollars so much. And sayyyyy … weren’t you de-industrializing Canada anyway? We’re just helping all Canadian achieve Net-Zero. Yes … we are ushering in a new Net-Zero economy for Canada … embrace the decline, Justhin. Now go get your hair frosted or something.
Correction…..closer to $0.60
68.96 as I type, so no not 60 and in fact much closer to 70 cents
It was $1.04 when Stephen Harper was PM.
Frank Q
You brought a tear to my eye remembering the better times. Although my betters said that Harper man bad
What does exchange rate has to do with tariffs?
Do you understand how percentages work or are you confused?
Exchange rate for currency determines which has the greater leverage. Do you not understand how percentages work or are you confused?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-bVEc8oZvk
You’re beyond clueless.
And here I thought you were going to post something informational to support your claim and insult. Oh well … at least I know who/what I’m dealing with …
I did not claim anything . I have asked you a question. Clearly you don’t know the answer and you just wanted to rant.
Depending on how the exchange rates change, it affects the impact of the tariffs.
We are not talking about exchange rate changes while tariffs are imposed*.
Try to present a logical argument and explain, how does Kenji’s assertion that “your … dollars are only worth $0.70 of ours. Psssst … the tariffs won’t matter because you’ve devalued you dollars so much” make sense. Go on.
*Coincidently Trump imposing tariffs against everyone is an inflationary policy that will inevitably, lead to lower purchasing power of the dollar and to weakening of the dollar against other currencies (unless they too do something stupid).
Go on?
OK … Canadian products just got 25% more expensive (if the full tariff amount is actually passed on to the consumer). Your dollar under which all your products are manufactured, marketed, and distributed is discounted 30% from the American dollar. Hence … we will no longer be purchasing Canadian products at a 30% discount … we will only be receiving a 5% discount.
Trust me … I paid for my daughter’s entire wedding in Vancouver about 6-years ago. I received something slightly more than a 25% discount on EVERYTHING. The wedding venue, the catering, the photographer, the DJ, even the booze I bought at your insidious government liquor store. Every single thing I bought was discounted to me because I bought it with my BEEG American dollars. Call it the RATE of exchange … call it 25 PERCENT … who cares? It made my personal finances fantastic.
But, of course, if Canadian goods and services become near equal cost to those of American people and manufacturers … then why buy Canadian? We won’t. Consumer behavior is very, very simple to understand… we ALWAYS do what’s in our best interest. We always do what provides the greatest value.
Face it. FAFO. Go ahead Canada. Stand toe to toe with America … such Maple Leaf Pride. Lecture me about Rates, Percentages hell … or even Proportions!? It’s all mental masturbation… you’re gonna LOSE your American customers. But Orangemanbad!! So you will always have that consolation. That you bravely committed economic suicide to stand up to Trump.
“Your dollar under which all your products are manufactured, marketed, and distributed is discounted 30% from the American dollar.”
Can someone slowly (and with crayons perhaps) explain to him why this statement is monumentally idiotic? Who and in what insane reality says that one Canadian dollar is magically supposed to be equal to one American dollar? The Canadian dollar is worth less, therefore (ceteris paribus) it costs more dollars to buy the same thing. Is one Peso also supposed to cost one US dollar? How about one Zimbabwean dollar?
You being used to California prices and finding that everything everywhere is cheaper than in California is irrelevant. Try paying for the same things in Utah and you will pay less than in California. Is it because Utah dollars are undervalued relative to California dollars? This has nothing to do with exchange rate.
When you raise the tarrifs you make foreign goods more expensive, that part you got correct, the immediate effect is that your customers can buy less goods. higher prices means by definition inflation. Now if the tariffs prompt your industry, then overtime it might have been worth it. It might not, depends on how industry protected from foreign competition will develop. Typically such industry develops poorly because it feels no pressure to compete and hence innovate. This has nothing to do with the exchange rate.
Ok let’s try this.
Suppose a Canadian product is worth 1 USD.
Suppose 1 USD = 1 CAD. You impose a 15% tariff. Now Canadian product costs 1.15 USD to US consumer.
Suppose 1 USD = 2 CAD. You impose a 15% tariff. Now Canadian product costs 1.15 USD to US consumer.
The fact that this same product would cost 1 CAD or 2 CAD in Canada torespectively is irrelevant here.
Sorry, I can’t make it any clear.
Well, he did believe the budget would balance itself.
This globalist POS is as insane and delusional as globohomo Zalensky… they should be sent to the “meatgrinder” in Ukraine asap.
Warning… vomit inducing psychopathic cockroach.

TurdHole loves it when Zelensky plays piano on his face.
That is a plausible theory, although why Trump would want to annex a country of 38 million, most of who — even Albertans — would dedicate their lives to voting Democrat, is anyone’s guess.
KM, that is because we come from a certain demo, that think that. I am well tuned to the generation behind us,they have only negative feelings about Canada, how they will react is unknowable.
Are you saying that Potato’s imports who come from countries that hate US would support US when Canada got annexed by US?
Not when they see their property rights and gun rights restored and the net zero scam killed once and for all.
Very optimistic of you to think there will be any meaningful elections in the USA for the foreseeable future.
Andrew -Look at who and how we are getting a new PM and explain to me how democratic our elections are. We have made in Canada problems.
What kind of a stupid comment is that?
Master trolling. Plus the Americans won’t want Quebec or the other special people.
Exactly. Even smarter, don’t Annex Queerbec. Let it twist in the wind on its own, to bankrupt itself.
You are looking at a political dynamic that exists today, in Canada. Things change — particularly under different economic and cultural circumstances. Even people change. I used to be a leftie.
I’m not looking at the political leanings.
I’m looking at the fact that a large majority — at least 874% — of Canadians do not wish to be annexed. This website is an exception; if polls are anything to go by, it does not represent the views of most Canadians.
If they are forced to join the U.S. through an economic siege then most will never forgive that, and they will vote Democratic even if they lean conservative.
874% = 75%
Ho Lee Fuc marmot …. please show your math on that equation … is that new age math??
No, it’s fat fingers. I’m correcting the post above it.
Don’t drink and post, kids.
Trudeau economics lesson.
87.4% Disagree with Killer Marxist.
FILTHY LIBERALS are purposely creating the Emergency to institute the Solution
Yep. I’m afraid PP’s chances of getting elected weaken every day.
I’m sick of the “Trump is playing 4D chess” BS in this situation. Before the talk of tariffs the libscum were on the ropes and would have been wiped out in a conservative majority had there been an election.
Trump managed – likely through ego – to do the ONE thing nobody in Canada has done in their own: united the clueless citizenry in a suicidal mission.
The fentanyl thing played well, even though less than 1% of it came from here and the rest through Mexico. The immigration issue could have been likewise handled without the stupid trolling of castreau as “governor of the 51st state”. All that’s done is maybe guarantee the idiots in this country will elect the puppeteer holding juthtin’s strings and who hasn’t ever been elected as anything, even as dog-catcher. This wont be Ignatieff 2.0.
And I say this as somebody who’s loved 99.9% of everything Trump has done, so no need to troll me as some sympathetic leftist borg.
I suspect Trump would find another excuse to levy tariffs against us had the fentanyl and immigration issues not exist. Both of which should have been addressed by the shïtlibs for our own benefit, and now likely slow-walked to precipitate the upcoming financial disaster. Point of fact is the US has 10x the buying power of this country so there would always be a trade deficit. Add to that the cheaper Canuck oil they buy (and could buy from other sources, as was discussed on this site) then we can never recoup the “deficit”
Rough waters ahead, friends.
mhb23re.
Suggesting that even Albertan would “dedicate their lives to voting Democrat” is Canadiana crap, coming from a crap country to maintain a crap country.
Trump doesn’t want nonproductive crap holders called Canadians. He would only want Alberta, the hated province of this crap country.
I’ve lived in Alberta for the last 45 years. I know Albertans.
Albertans might consider breaking away from Canada if they have to put with any more exploitive BS from central Canada, but they would not react well to being forced to join the U.S. through economic warfare. They don’t like bullies.
And they hold a grudge well. Many still despise Trudeau’s National Energy Program from 1980.
I begrudgingly agree with you. Alberta conservatives would still be a blue state.
You all have an open invitation. We would be glad to have you join us once you’ve decided you’ve had enough of Turdeau.
It goes back further than that….the Crow rate, the fact that Alberta had to fight to get ownership of its own resources…..even back to the 1930’s….my father was farming in southern Alberta….they were forced to buy everything from eastern Canada at whatever the price was posted even though most things they needed were right across the border in Montana. Even seed. They bought seed from the east which was late and split and so would not germinate. No crop….lost the farm and then had to start all over homesteading up near Debolt clearing treed land by hand and horse. Ottawa to Alberta is like Moscow is to Ukraine.
Economic warfare has been practiced against the West since it joined confederation. You mentioned the NEP (my inspiration for AB separation). Economic warfare. Green scam. Economic warfare on steroids. A sober look at the power structure of Canada, we should have not have struck a loon on the dollar, but a symbol or looting.
Liberals are blaming Trump for their planned destruction of our economy and many, many fools/Canadians are eager to believe it. Our self-destruction must not, cannot, be a data point.
As for “exploitive BS,” that’s status quo Canada; expectations of change is Retarded, and very unCanadian, really, and only for “whiners” who don’t like their wallets stolen.
Our great triumph is MAiD in Canada; supposed rights and freedoms were MAiD in Canada during the Plandemic. Same people.
Albertans wouldn’t vote for Democrats. Maybe smart ones, but that is a contradiction in terms.
Don’t count on it. Alberta voted in an NDP government 10 years ago.
That’s because you had two right-wing parties that split the vote. The PC’s and the Wild Rose.
Incidentally, if memory serves, the Wild Rose party at the time was led by Danielle Smith, who then crossed the floor to join the PC’s. I’m working from memory here, so feel free to correct if I got a detail or two wrong.
only the albertansmigrants who have come from ontario to destroy us
(In my best Agent Smith imitation…)
Your economy is already dead…
@wonko: Exactly. When I hear imbeciles like Doug Ford that we gonna fight to death yadda-yadda… with what exactly?!? 🙂 To smite US, we’re gonna shoot ourselves in the foot. Smart.
Yeah, give us what we want or we’ll go broke on you.
The horseshyte is strong in this one. And a majority of Canuckleheads will believe Justy’s hysterics. This country can’t collapse fast enough.
How magnanimous of trudeau to give Trump credit for his own handiwork.
Trump’s tariffs: Cost Americans money. A drop in the bucket compared to internal spending, a little slap on the wrist for American citizens, to encourage domestic growth.
Canadian tariffs: Cost Canadians money. A massive amount compared to internal spending, a solid kick in the teeth for Canadian citizens, with no other goal but to punish both the Americans and Canadians, and therefore eminently desirable as far as the malignant sociopaths that Canadians continue to place into office.
Bitch please, you voted for this malignant sociopath twice.
Wasn’t this PM of yours supposed to resign?
You should probably have demanded he get out sooner, he’s pulling his own Zelensky in front of the American viewership. (you might also want to tell Pollievre to stop being such a slave to the polls; at the end of the day nobody likes a Mitt Romney…and he is probably better for you than Carney nonetheless)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1lG_NEtERU
Canadian politicians are loyal TO THE PARTY, not the electorate. Hence, their aloofness and dedication to follow the polling with policy.
Principles? You kidding, the Uniparty will only allow Uniparty principles.
The parliamentary system allows and props up 4 year dictatorships. There is no lever to prevent a majority government from running roughshod.
This government is a minority, though, it is propped up by the JEET commie, for his own selfish, personal gain. We have a neo-socialist government in Canaderp. And yes, Polievre has shown quite clearly he is an invertebrate squish. He hid his real persona for the last few years, but when the pressure is on, the real lizard appears.
This country needs to be brought to its knees in order for real change to happen. Here’s to BlubberBoy carrying through with his threatened Act of War. The 101st Airborne would be a pleasant sight to see, liberating this country from its malignant political class. FAFO, Duggie, go ahead. He will look awesome in leg irons and an orange jumpsuit.
I do feel for you — it isn’t hard to imagine what a debacle a Harris presidency would have been, a presidency your government was counting on (along with others). And may I remind that this is why (amongst other things, many, many other things) as to why I do not consider Canada an ally of the U.S. nor care overmuch about your country’s hardships. This is been a long time coming. I don’t much care for you, but I do wish you luck.
Pollievre is your least worst choice (from a Canadian perspective; it doesn’t matter who really gets in even if you have an election to the U.S.). That is damning with faint praise. Vance was correct about him; he is the Canadian Mitt Romney, and he is making Mitt Romney-esque mistakes that might cost him. If he gets in, it will be more of the same. You have no good choices. I am empathic in this regard. Unless of course you decide to become ungovernable — civil disobedience for just cause, while risky, has its place. Just look at your trucker’s convoy; it was a start…you were just unlucky as to the timing, with an unsympathetic American government…that isn’t always the case; something to think about.
Doug Ford is a corrupt, laughable man — wonder why he is banging on so much about that? Has he been paid to say it? Does he have things he would prefer not to leak out? Both? He certainly isn’t doing it out of any sense of patriotism nor common decency. However, we aren’t going to invade unless your country does something really stupid, which isn’t outside of the realm of possibility; you should probably pray to whatever your higher power. No, there are better options; those will be explored, and the choice will ultimately be the Canadian people’s. Become a true ally? We win. Annexed? We win. You will have to decide which is best for you (unless your leaders gin you up to do something truly stupid: then it would be best if we made an example of you; that would be very bad for both of us).
He claims that he will resign once the new Liberal leader is elected. The date for that transaction is March 9th. The new leader will be Mark Carney, another avowed communist with ties to the WEF – he is on the board of trustees for the WEF. Carney is a larcenous central banker, having helped to destroy Canada with the Bank of Canada in the late 1990s and to destroy England with the Bank of England. Carney is not to be trusted. His wife, Diane Fox Carney, had a green energy charity that received a lot of money from USAID. Need I say more?
I heard DOGE caught up to the Carney wife slush fund and seized, some 69 million.
What are the odds Carney becomes PM and then enacts the Emergency Act cuz tariffs. He’s already hinted at it.
I’m not betting against that.
And that will be the end of the country.
they are looking for an excuse to declare an emergency and stop (S)elections from ever being a bother again ….. that’s why they want ww III so bad!
Maybe if that happened I’d wave the Stars & Stripes when the yanks took over as the country I grew up in would be dead.
mhb23re
Or is he lying to you? Your parliment is prorogued and Singh won’t call a vote; the Emergencies Act could be used to push out an election as well. Or, would he simply install a shadow government with Carney (or any of the rest)? They are all connected very closely; the Carneys are just the most obvious; that’s why it’s not certain they’d go for him; if they do it means a scorched earth policy is the one they will follow. They could do that even if Pollievre wins — I believe your Senate would be most helpful in making sure any spine Pollievre might show would be quickly snapped.
@jane: I’m pretty sure Blackie Castreau’s speech will actually confirm that Trump was right. It will show for everyone that Canada is indeed led by idiots who cannot be trusted. Prime Moron is like a teenager bad driver who wrecks daddy’s BMW and yet is still vocal and feisty, yelling that it’s not his fault.
Yes, it did confirm that, and confirm to a growing segment of the American population. It was very helpful in that regard, to the President and the country. Not to you, of course.
Given the political landscape there is a possibility the gov’t may go on once they flush the turd. Seems that NDP support has fallen like a rock so they might not want an election. Tough choice for the fiberals. Should they elect carney as expected it appears that he needs a lot of work before he’ll become a seasoned liar like the turd.
Poilievre should keep hammering away at energy policies and he should be sounding the alarm on the coming deregulation of US industry. Once that takes hold the US won’t need to tariff us because we’ll be so uncompetitive.
Hardly. He’s already there, and much more dangerous as he’ll lie with much more gravitas and far less open contempt than castreau. He’ll be worse for this country at the helm, as he will wreak maximal havoc without the blackface, private schools, groping and idiotic dress-up scandals of the current imbecile.
mhb23re
Justin’s just mad because Trump is worming in on his job of causing “a total collapse of the Canadian economy,” but it’s not Trump who wants to “take over,” it’s lame duck of zero legitimacy Cabin Boy Blunder Bozo, “trading” on crisis.
A truly evil person, or what progressives inevitably regress to if unchecked by the people, would burn down their nation to rule over its ashes, including citizens who get in the way, especially soft target bouncy castle dissidents.
Let’s play what trump says tonight before congress. I’m leaning towards mention of Canadian goverment corrupted by Chinese influence.
Justine tanks the economic health of Canada but it’s Trump’s fault, we place tariffs on dairy, eggs etc. diary is around 480 percent tariff but it’s not okay for the US to do the same. Just when you think the people of Canada can’t possibly get any dumber they do, try explaining the Quebec dairy egg cartel to a liberal, seriously head banging is included.
And canucks are too dumbed-down by government schools and government media to understand this, more’s the pity.
There are more than enough smooth brained Canadians who will blame Trump when the economy tanks…which it will. And Trudeau will lap it up like a dog to vomit.
It’s not Canadians blaming Trump you have to worry about.
In the U.S., the trade war will almost certainly drive up prices of many consumer goods and put many Americans out of work. It could even trigger a recession.
If that happens, Americans will start to ask when the “great” part begins. Republican congressmen, who face a mid-term election in 20 months, will start to feel nervous, as they know who the voters will take their frustrations out on. They will pressure Trump to end the tariffs, maybe even moving to remove the tariffs through legislation. Trump may well cave and remove the tariffs, and people will wonder what the entire ridiculous episode was supposed to be achieve. Trump’s approval rating will lie in ruins.
It’s not the tariffs that will kill Canada…..it is the flight of capital from Canada to the U.S. that will. Already Canadians invest more money OUTSIDE of Canada (almost all to the U.S.) than foreigners invest IN Canada. That will accelerate. Canada’s business climate is crap.
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Satire is still alive
Didn’t, happen when he,was Pres. 45. Won’t happen now.
Any pain as a result of these tariffs are short-term. Unlike Biden’s “transitory inflation” which we all knew was a lie, Trump has a vision where the American economy is independent of any other nation. It will be that for nations to survive, they have to deal with the US.
I’m all for that. Either Canada gets it’s shit together and start producing locally, or the country will find itself left behind.
I keep waiting for someone in the press to hand Justin a doll and say “point to where Mr. Trump hurt you, Justin”
Poilievre says that Canada will fight back. The Conservative Party is now dead to me.
And Trudeau is encouraging booing of the Star Spangled Banner whenever an American team’s playing in this country.
Those two pillocks make me embarrassed to be Canadian.
You are astonished that the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is a patriot, are you?
Poilievre turned out to be yet another Conservative squish, resorting to Liberal methods in order to win votes. He’s no better than Scheep or O’Foole.
A real patriot would have remembered the words of John F. Kennedy, which he said during his inauguration address: “Let us not negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.” As we read in the New Testament, blessed are the peacemakers.
This whole thing was blown way out of proportion by that ponce Trudeau because he knew that the Liberals were about to have their collective posteriors handed to them in the next election. By falsely portraying an impending invasion and annexation, he got the support that he lost through his catastrophic policies.
I’ve seen this sort of thing before. An earlier prime minister resorted to similar tactics more than 50 years ago. His surname was Trudeau as well.
This is rather typical for many on the right. They insist that conservative leaders mirror their beliefs in every detail, or else they hate them and won’t vote for them. Then they wonder why the Liberals keep getting in.
The Conservative policies are clones of what the Liberals have to offer, thereby making both parties indistinguishable from each other. I want to have a clear choice about what the parties have to offer, not one party smacking me across the head from one side, while the other party does the same from the other, expecting me to be satisfied with that.
And, yes, if a party wants my vote, it had better speak for me, represent my views, and be my voice in a legislative body.
My disgust for both parties goes back more than 40 years to when I couldn’t find a job in the aftermath of the NEP. Politicians on both sides went “yak yak woof woof” about how bad things were. They talked a lot, did absolutely nothing, and both wanted me to vote for them, despite the fact that I, along with thousands like me, were left high and dry.
What I’ve seen in the past few weeks is the same pantomime as the one in the early 1980s.
If he was a patriot, he’d promise to rid the HoC of all the MPs that CSIS identified as in China’s pocket.
As it is, he’s just another blowhard promising to kick Canadians in the teeth.
By spouting the same drivel as the Liberals, he only confirms that the Conservatives are the second half of the uniparty that governs this country.
Politics has become a tag-team event in this country. Get tired of one party, elect the other one, and get the same policies, idiocies, and corruption. Meet the new government–the same as the previous one, but with different livery.
The Prime Minster is bound by the constitution. He can’t just throw out MPs he doesn’t like, or who CSIS says is shady. For a member of parliament to lose their seat, they must first be found guilty of an indictable offense and sentenced to two or more years in prison.
The Prime Minster is bound by the constitution.
To Trudeau, the “constitution” is a weapon for him to use against his enemies, but it never applies to him. Just ask the truckers from three years ago as well as those who financially supported them.
“You are astonished that the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is a patriot, are you?”
SDA are so infatuated with Trump that they’ll happily bend over, spread cheeks, and laugh at lube. There is literarily nothing that Trump can do that they would not support. Complete zombie mode.
Trump helping Potato get reelected is a bonus for them. That way they get to bitch about uniparty some more.
I’ve noticed that. If Trump declared that Portugal was a nexus of world evil, his supporters would be clamouring to have Lisbon flattened. There’s no skepticism whatsoever.
While I’m not saying he’s not a patriot, I don’t think that’s patriotism.
Sometimes saying very little is saying a lot.
Like: “I’m not Prime Minister”.
I won’t support Canada’s jingoism.
Get your head out of your ass. There is a federal election on the horizon and the phony patriotism is being used as the issue. To pretend otherwise is the trap. Poilievre sees that and is not going to spring it on himself.
The fact that, by his rhetoric, he escalated the situation for his own political benefit erased any legitimacy the Conservatives had with me.
As I said earlier, he’s no different than his two predecessors. The party looks at what the Liberals are doing and saying and imitate them lockstep, figuring that’ll win them votes.
By the way, what makes you so sure that we’re even going to have an election once Carnivore takes over?
Couldn’t see past the mandatory playing to the lib media so as not to have the libscum call out PP as a Trump sympathizer, eh?
That’s ok. Understanding subtlety and political maneuvering isn’t for amateurs.
I wasn’t pleased with PP’s statements but recognize why he said them, as distasteful as they were.
But unlike a lot of “conservatives” I won’t stamp my foot and stay home on election day because PP didn’t perform his own live political version of a Viking funeral and bash Trump and appear the idiot like my recently-elected Ontario premier.
Shouting the same balderdash as the Liberals, but only a few decibels higher, just to save his skin with the media doesn’t give him any credibility. Taking an alternate approach and reducing the vitriol might give voters something to consider.
Harry Truman, a far wiser than any of our political leaders, said this: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
So they can’t seem to understand Trump?
Ok here’s a helpful primer
Trump like most US citizens feel that even with its flaws their form of government is better than any of the rest.
Where Canada falls into this is that the US used to be colonies that were governed in the same way Canada is now.
But they ditched that and even went so far as to publish the reasons at the time.
What puzzles them is why we continue to suffer under a form of government they ditched over 200 years ago.
The comments about the “51st state” is Trumps way of saying “why don’t you start being an independent nation? Why hold on to the antiquated idea that your head of state is a formality while your government can legislate anything it wants and the executive just goes along with it?”
So then, do I get to keep my carbines . . . and can I get twenty-round mags?
Ask citizen of Puerto Rico.
It’s not whether or not you can keep the mags but whether or not you have to put in that idiotic 5-round block inside.
Hey Joostaihn! And you too, Pee-Pee!
I hear that Trump has been humming that old Stan Rogers tune: The Northwest Passage.
Justins been experiencing the southeast passage, I hope he likes it.
Joostaihn’s SE passage….would that be Jagmeet?
Just as Trudeau is trying to launch into “Barrett’s Privateers”.
Hey guy’s, your PM has done this before.
Turdeau and the rest of the politicians in Canada are blowing smoke up everyone’s ass. Trump wants to get his milk and cheese and butter into Canada. There is a 250% tariff on them because of the milk cartel from Quebec. The only politician who has spoke against it is Max. Funny everyone hates him though. Once again the west is asked to fall in line and protect Quebec. I am tired of the east dictating to us, they always have as they control the votes. It is time for Sask. and Alberta to separate. I read what Smith has said and she is blowing smoke up our ass to. She knows about the milk cartel and is not saying a thing. If she does not smarten up, she is no better than any other politician. Quit blowing smoke, tell the truth and lets separate.
solid reasoning Ron. That milk cartel and to a lesser extent the broiler/ egg” supply management, is a huge issue to the Trump admin. Getting Canada to end the cartels would ensure a reduction, if not elimination of his proposed tariffs, not to mention guaranteeing Wisconsin and Michigan would go solidly Republican. Not sure I agree with your view on Smith though.. let’s see how this election turns out. If a Carney majority happens, she’ll be whistling a different tune.
And Max? the only politician who has openly promoted austerity, and our nanny state population simply can’t abide by that.
No…not everyone hates Max. They just realize that he doesn’t have a chance and the last bloody thing we need is flittering away votes. Take a Midol.
Trump only got elected twice
You prove my point admirably.
In your own mind, I’m sure
A TruAnon midwit showed up in a battle of wits unarmed.
What next? Will Trudeau declare a state of emergency and cancel the liberal party from electing/installing Carney and, perforce, our dear leader will continue being the psycho in chief?
“Sophie claims Justin faked every orgasm.”
Nah, he just closed his eyes and pretended she was a boy.
“…because he thinks that will “make it easier to annex us.”
________________________________________
This made me laugh. Good God! The US does NOT want to annex Canada. As usual, it was Trump’s penchant for name calling in a different form. It was the long road to denigrating Trudeau by calling him “governor”. The sad thing about it all is that Trudeau thinks that Canadians are too unintelligent to make that assessment, and that they will take this nonsense seriously. There is always an outlier who will do just that. But, please tell me that a majority of Canadians are sophisticated enough to understand that this is the equivalent of ribbing.
I thought respect and decorum were a must? Or at least that’s what JD (Jiant Douche)said. So which one is it?
Respect is earned. Decorum is a hang-up of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules establishment Republicans. The rest of us have lost out patience.
Good, I couldn’t agree more.
So you should tell the butt hurt whiners at Fox “News” to stop belly aching like wet babies about what Trudeau or Zelensky may or may not have said to the windbag in chief. After all, he richly deserved it.
With respect…
The words “Canadians” and “sophisticated” should never be used together, ever.
Canadians are political slaves and historically illiterate fools… they are a cult of Juthtin Turdholes , “Post Nation State.”
Canadians love their Chinese Fentynol and their Mexican drug cartels and their 250% tariff on Dairy and their Globalist enablers in the LIberal/NDP Party… The Canadian electorate are sophisticated morons… unfortunately.
Canada ended in the 1960’s.
To prove this point please listen to the Globalist leader of “Canada”

After 2 seconds of that clip, it is now a confirmed fact that Zelensky played piano on TurdHole’s face.
In times like these, it is pretty much everyone for himself. The country is swirling around the bowl. The only thing that would slow or stop the stupidity, is a clear referendum from Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Do you want to remain in a country that steals your money, resources, rights, and children, while giving you no say in it’s future? Yes or No?
Quebec, bleeds everyone dry. The Atlantic provinces are crooked and lazy, Ontario takes this world and these times for granted while racking up multi millennial debt, Manitoba has decided to become a dependent vegetable since free money is easier than working for it. B.C. is California North. Two provinces are holding this entire nonsense together, and if they were to threaten to leave, the merry go round would stop in it’s tracks, and we might, just maybe, get a real conversation going, and sidelining of the retards currently running the entire travesty.
It’s too bad you don’t have any marketable skills or money or you could have already realized your dream of living in fat Donny’s fascist utopia. Maybe you can find one to marry you lol
Please refrain from attempting ridicule or sarcasm. You’re not very bright and it smells of desperation.
Lol
Another stupid Canadian thinks Trump is a fascist, despite living in a post-national country that locked every one down, killed their businesses, forced poison jabs, froze bank accounts and had all major corporations in alignment (fascism) and now thinks that “buying Canadian” will save a place where everything is made for us, in China.
We have MAiD in Canada and that’s the only genuine Canadian creation available to the fools of Canada and it kills far more than USA gun violence.
Oh, and LOL.
That’s no way to talk about Ontario.
I would tell you, TSR, to go blow a dog but you’d take that as a compliment.
Let me fix that headline for you: “THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA is trying to prompt a total collapse of the Canadian economy”
30% tariff on US goods since retard became PM. USD traded at $1.11 CAD at end of Harper’s term, now it’s $1.44. Odd that the MSM never talks about this tariff….
No offense, but Trudeau doesn’t need Trump. He’s quite capable of collapsing the Canadian economy without help.
The future world will be divvied up, and annexed, by Trump, Putin, and Xi. Especially for the resources.
If not directly, then by close association. Canada’s Lieberals have chosen Xi.
Chose your poison wisely, you will be getting one of the three.
I’m very disappointed in Premier Smith of Alberta and her response to Albertans. I expect this from Mr. Singh of the NDP, and note that he’s requested an “emergency recall of Canada’s parliament” to address the situation.
I think that retaliatory tariffs to the USA are an “own goal” and not helpful. I see no lights shining which would illuminate a way forward for tier 2 Canada.

Separation of AB/Sask. and founding of a new sovereign nation, or simply join with the USA. Staying within Canada is choosing to stay under Ottawa’s thumb, something we’ve already lived in the past +100 years in the west.
We are led by cowards, something Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn spoke of as leading to the demise of a nation, I think it was at his commencement address to Harvard about 1978
I remember when he first came to North America. I read his book Gulag Archipelago, but never thought it could happen here, but then in 1978 CCBC was started and our downfall was assured.
It’s called “realpolitik”. The chess game has just begun…..Trudeau thinks he is playing snakes and ladders.
“In August 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt forced Winston Churchill to sign the Atlantic charter as a condition for US support of the Allied effort in World War II. The Charter, a heartening emblem of American idealism, required the European allies to relinquish their colonies, following the war. For two centuries unimpeded access to the colonized world rich natural resources had been the principal source of European wealth. The Atlantic charter and national liberation movements in the 50s and 60s dismantled the traditional colonial model in Africa.”
It is imperative that western Canada choose this course in order to free itself from the “colonial” chains that we have been subjected to for far far too long. The end of welfare payments from the west to the east must end if our children are to survive.
ALL segments of the western Canadian community would benefit by the prosperity of the region.
Perhaps Trump sees western Canadians as robbed and suppressed just like Roosevelt saw the British colonies.
If you have the power to take, why create?
The plundering of western resources by upper and lower Kanada has corrupted Ontario and Quebec like every welfare benefit does. It stifles their potential …as well as it has the wests. It has allowed them to govern based on theories rather than realities.
PePe’s scramble to embrace “team Kanada” talking points tells me everything I need to know.
Mulroney all over again.
Canada is a CON-figuration. not a federation!
Ah…but I repeat myself.
Maybe these tariffs have more to do with the Border…. Has anyone noticed the 10,000 extra border personal that the DOPER promised????
Another BROKEN Liebral promise???????
The turd “promised” $1.2B over six years whereas Ukraine got $5B today.
The US will crush Canada because Canada deserves it. Who else put us in the position of being hostile to the USA but us?
Yes, over 6 years, but the bulk of it in 2029-2030. Money for 2025-26 border security is about 140 million. For the same time period, the Liberals are going to spend 541 million on their legal gun grab. This is how unserious they are about securing anything other than their next pay-raise.
1 – NAFTA was naive because Chinese and other exporters transhipped goods through Canada and, to a lesser extent, Mexico for tariff free import into the United States. Paste on a label and it’s Canadian, eh.? The Can/US/Mex version didn’t fix it because trump had no hope of getting the revisions the US needed through the senate – but now he has the house and the senate, and that’s part of what this is about.
2 – part of it may also be about the 51st state idea – on which please see my free substack: paul530.substack.com
3 – Trump’s proposed reciprocal tariffs are actually a great idea: just match the other guy’s trade barriers and you should end up with fair trade unless the other guy wants to penalize his own people (as Canada does).
4 – there’s an easy fix: shutdown the drug industry in Canada, tame some marketing boards (CRTC, eggs, milk –
which hurt Canadians more than Americans anyway), and match US tariffs on China and other exploitive exporters.
5 – sadly Pierre P can’t mention any of that right now because Doug Ford just showed you can win a massive majority despite years of bad policies simply by leveraging federal media control and anti-trump bias to run against Trump – something Carney (probably) will undoubtedly try to duplicate. I do not know whether poor PP is the real deal or not, but he’s gone from a 30 point lead to sure loser because following the Carney/Soros line means people might as well vote liberal, while advocating sane policy ideas invites the media to present conservatives as aligned with the bad bad, very bad, orange man.
Yep, good analysis. On PP, he provides no daylight between himself and the Libs and so the typical, and very stupid Canadian voter might as well vote for the Libs, and they will.
PP, remember, thought Christine Anderson was a villain and he was not part, avoiding it like the plague, of the most patriotic event in Canadian history, the trucker convoy.
The shocking part is that Justin publicly admits that the Canadian economy is so brittle that it could be collapsed by some tariffs. He’s right about that, but his supporters don’t seem to processed it yet
Let me just quote an ad on Bell TV for Canada’s Drag Queen or something, something that I overheard the other day. ” True north strong and queer! “. Yeah, no.
I think I’ll make a few million. I’ll start making gremlin Trump dolls that adult Canadians can throw under their beds so they’ll have an excuse for their bedwetting.
I’ll match you with Trump Voodoo Doll kits so they can pretend to hurt him!
See if we can find some place in Canada who can manufacture, ship and retail these. Oh wait, we couldn’t even mass produce a bunch of hats.
Or when Kanadians stick the needles in, the pain is in their own a$$es.
Views from a broad:
Al-jazeera tv had a bit of the Lib debate, sound bite from each candidate. Too bad Ruby couldn’t bring her love to town.
D-W tv had talking heads on about JT running to the EU, trying to join up.
JT is doing a Zelenskyy, down to the last counterveiling Canadian tariff.
DJT is doing Canada a favour, kinda like how VZ is now exposed.
No, voting in another Liberal government will make it easier to annex Canada, assuming there would be anything left. And we’d be lucky if it was the Americans doing the annexing.
Team canada puts on retaliatroy tariffs, Trump counters with Reciprocal tariffs…
The Canadian economy grinds to a SUDDEN halt….
The Good news… Auto production in Canada, USA and Mexico ends in about 5 days… maybe with that result people on both sides of the borders will get a wee bit wiser…
How about Canada fixing all of our borders and maybe inspect more of the containers coming from China….
If only, Neil. If only.
I am more than a little surprised that given the choice between stopping the fentanyl trade and sanctions, Canada chose sanctions. Really? If the shoe was on the other foot, you would want the US to stop fentanyl and illegal aliens from coming across the border, right?
The only way this makes sense is if certain Canadians have a monetary interest in seeing the trade in fentanyl and illegals continue. That is not a good look.
Now that you mention it, Trudeau should have said something to fatboy about all the American guns flooding over the border
That would be to admit they’re coming through Indian reservations, something your hero Princess Rainbow Socks certainly cannot do.
Try loosening your #TeamCanada toque and see if some blood will flow into that hamster brain of yours. You’re sounding particularly retarded today.
^^^ What Waterhouse said.
Maybe the families of the next Canuck killed by a smuggled gun can acknowledge the “traditional aboriginal lands” the gun zipped through before killing their loved one.
Guns are legal in the US, it’s up to our border agents to stop these. As noted below, most of the smuggling is done by injuns on their reservations (“stewards of the land since time immemorial”) who the federal gov’t will never touch or investigate.
Or maybe the courts, after police arrest the black and Muslim gang bangers, shouldn’t let them out five minutes after they are caught in a shootout. Solution is obviously to confiscate Joe Farmer’s shotgun in Saskatchewan.
Correct me if I am wrong. Tariff on a cdn product is 25%. To sell into usa seller has to reduce price equal amount. Nothing saying they can’t still sell. Easy solution. Eliminate equal amount of exorbitant taxes on cdn products. Start with ‘carbon tax’
Trump doesn’t want to annex Canada. He just wants Trudeau and his Chinese puppet masters gone.
Me too. Trump isn’t our enemy…..Herr Trudeau et al are.
He’s just gone all-in on a plan that’s not going to work. Much to the extreme detriment to this country and by that I mean we may not be rid of the libs, not the tariffs
Maybe next time we should elect someone who isn’t a mentally retarded 14 year old girl.
Annex the territories, Labrador, Alberta, Saskatchewan, northern BC. Manitoba and Ontario.
Tell all the Hosers, Frogs, Wagon Burners, Eskimos and Newfies who don’t own a gun to GTFO.
Herr Trudeau is pissed because “collapsing the Canadian economy” was HIS job!
Haven’t read every comment. A lot of people on here. Just wondering if it’s possible to call in UN troops to protect us in the near future from the Orange Meanie. Mostly Chinese of course. It is an emergency situation. Mark Carney said as much. Is this the end game?
Now that’s funny. By the way….the UN HAS no troops of its own. And Carney is just a clown.
And yet they manage to find nations to volunteer troops for UN duties along with their own agendas once they get there. It’s not a pretty history. I’m just spitballing here. Carney may be a clown but so is Justin and he ran Canada into the ground just fine. He did what he was told and so will Carney. But what is the end game? On the other hand, like they say, don’t attribute to malice what can be just plain stupidity.
Doug Ford announces he’s tearing up the Starlink agreement Ontario made.
Isn’t everybody north of Wawa on satellite?
How will the Indians and Eskimos get Door Dash?
I cannot believe how many Canadian politicians (and US Democrats) think that Trump wants to annex Canada. It reminds me of the time my older brother told me the word “gullible” wasn’t in the dictionary. I soon proved him wrong! Of course, I was about 10 years old at the time. Trudeau should know better.
Your older brother made you look, mikesixes ;o)
please do not feed the trolls (ciller narmot is not worth typing a reply)
Ford got my vote because I owed him one for eliminating annual clean air scam, having said that…
Ford is a buffoon, Trump doesn’t even break a sweat dealing with pompous asses like him. Never has.
Trudeau has run our country into the ditch with his stupidity and criminality. Insulting Trump’s intelligence? Him of all people…lol
Who has that ever worked out well for? Name one?
Any vulnerabilities Canada has is a direct result of this idiot narcissist.
Propped up by a pension scammer…ban Trump from Canada???
Levels of stupidity are funny as hell.
PP…big disappointment.
Backstabbing? Look up the word diplomacy Pierre.
Is it really applicable? Has Canada lived up to the terms and spirit of the USMC deal? Unforced error…imho
You only get my vote because the rest are scammers and thieves.
Sad, you showed so much potential.
BTW…
Who wants to send our sons, daughters and treasure to Ukraine?
Yours first please…start with those Ukraine bio flag folks
Laughable people are so ignorant about their corruption.
Freeland? WEF stooge. Bag of hammers stupid.
How about “Canadian in Canada only” Carney?
More tshirt level material.
Enjoy the SOTU tonight…hopefully Trump will ignore us
If Poilievre was smart, he would make the election a referendum on globalism, do we keep walking along behind the Pied Piper to oblivion, supporting every lunatic globalist cause, or do we go full Trump and turn around?
This is what Bernier has been promoting all along. If Poilievre would join Max in that objective, we could merge the parties and win a larger number of seats (PPC vote added to CPC would have yielded eight more for Cons last time, that wouldn’t have changed much — but add fifteen to current projections and you’ll see it would be worth a compromise on both sides — Max needs to be given a free run to get into the House). It was looking like a fairly easy Conservative majority win before all this started. Now it’s looking like some kind of Italian parliament, no stable coalition partners, no long-term prospects.
Trudeau has no real moral authority to speak in such absolute terms now, he’s on his way out and we need to have an election as soon as possible to decide who’s to be speaking for the country. Even so nobody will ever have the moral authority to speak for every citizen, right now, any Liberal or New Democrat has no authority to speak for me or millions of anti-globalists because they are globalist agents posing as representatives of Canada but in reality they are representatives of George Soros, Schwarz, Davos, Bill Gates and the United Nations. That’s all they are, and their pretensions otherwise annoy me.
