Art of the Troll – Part Deux

If you’re old enough, you fondly remember this scene from This is Spinal Tap.

Trump has quite intentionally said some things about Canada that are certain to raise the TDS levels of Canadians to 11 … or even 13!!!

  1. I am disappointed that Mr. Trump does not see the need for military intervention in Canada. What’s he waiting for? For the devices that China smuggled into the US through Canada to go off in his cities? We’ve allowed more than just fentanyl to cross the border, you can be sure of that.

    Coffee and donuts for the troops at my place when the time comes.

    1. Andrew Coyne pledges to hold his breath until Rosemary Barton mainlines Ozempic on At Issue.

    2. He heard that there were a lot of vigorous men in canaduh “oiling their weapons”

      1. If you have been paying attention to the Ukraine War, you will realise standing at a roadblack holding grandad’s 303 will just get you easily vaporised by a kamikaze drone.

        None of the Canadians I have met are capable of fighting like the VC or the Mujahideen. They have grown fat, weak, pussified and totally dependent on grandma government.

  2. Lol!
    There are some truths in what he says whether some people like it or not.

    And if he has anyone’s attention, its the Chicoms.
    Be they the ones running China, the ones living in Canada or the ones running the Liberal Party of Canada and the Federal Government.

  3. Hey Donald, I have an idea: dress some convicts in Greenland military uniforms and scatter their bullet-riddled corpses out side the American air base at Pituffik .

    It’s worked before with great success.
    I can’t imagine why Trump would rule out a military action against Canader, perhaps he thinks we are the nation we were in WW1 and WW2. We are not.
    Maybe he figures he and his business colleague Carney can work out something beneficial to both of them.

  4. Don’t touch that one. Don’t point at that one. Don’t even LOOK at that one … it’s quite special.
    Trump is special.

  5. Over $400 billion in annual trade. 4mbbl/day of oil going to the US.

    If you don’t need anything from Canada why even bother talking trade with Canada? Tell Carnival to just stay home.

  6. Honest question, what is the $200 billion subsidy he refers to. How is it arrived at?

    1. Here’s an idea!? You simply count up ALL the Canadian products that are sold to America! Done.

      1. With all due respect, that is rather simple of an answer. I get the notion of subsidizing Canada’s defense? Is that all? Is it the socialized medicine that supposedly benefits Canadian producers? Is it the differential in the currency? It’s fine to throw out the 200 billion number? As Jack Friday used to say ‘Just the facts, ma’am’.

        1. The oil exports to the U.S. tip the trade balance in favor of Canada. But it’s nowhere near $200 billion. More like $40 billion. But absent the oil and Canada consistently buys more from the US than they buy from us. That speaks to the fact that we are just not that big of a manufacturing economy

          1. Buying and selling is not a subsidy. Canadian oil is benchmarked based on West Texas Intermediate oil. Just as my grain is valued based on the Chicago Board Of Trade. None of this qualified as a subsidy. However the Canadian and Ontario governments are all goo goo gaga to give subsidies to EV production and the like.

      2. That’s not a subsidy, that is shite we all sell and trade as north americans.
        And we all like it.
        Chill. The enemy ain’t us, but ‘they’ want us to think so.
        Trump is maybe saying that, or maybe not.
        If he is saying that, then good,
        If not, then piss off.
        Cinco de Mayo!

    2. Here’s a chunk, military. Canada has essentially no force at all, and Russia for a northern neighbour. One reason we don’t speak Russian, and one only. The US military. Our norther border is entirely defended by the US, canada has no planes, ships, or submarines capable of even going there other than a quick overflight. That costs money that Canada doesn’t spend, ergo, a subsidy.

      1. We have a couple of FOLs, Inuvik & Iqualuit that do the NORAD gig up there. We deploy as needed and can stay there weeks. We have C-17s and Herks that haul all kinds of stuff up north. If the Russians want to try and cross over the North Pole… nah, they aren’t that stupid.

        1. Well, they come under all the time. You have some Hercules and two (2) Globemasters. You can haul some stuff, well and good. What stuff? Certainly not, lets say a division or two, as Canada could at best field a poorly equipped brigade, with what, two days ammo? When the Americans liberated Kuwait, they sent 20 divisions. The USA has more air, naval, and army assets in Alaska than Canada has in total.

          1. Prime Minister Carney has doubled the Canadian army to 12 so FO Peter!!

            do I need a sarc tag?

    3. Trump is so dumb that he thinks that the ‘trade deficit’ with Canada 1) exists and 2) constitutes a ‘subsidy’. There is no point in negotiating with someone this stupid.

      1. “Trump is so dumb that he thinks that the ‘trade deficit’ with Canada 1) exists and 2) constitutes a ‘subsidy’. There is no point in negotiating with someone this stupid.”

        (…that ‘whooshing’ sound you hear over your head right now? Guess what that is?…)

        Peter detailed exactly what the subsidy is….it’s military. Obviously.

      2. The absence of negotiation = Canada’s demise. Err, more rapid demise. Your country is dying, and it is people like you administering the post-National MAID.

        Your country is no longer viewed in a favorable light … but as a has been State. Sorry … but you’re slipping under the ebb tide of fraudulent global warmism and post-nationalism. Neither the WEF nor ChiComs will save you.

      3. What a laugh, you deciding Trump is dumb. He’s POTUS and you are …….. I’m ROTFL.

    4. Combination of tariffs, trade rules, Norad, naval patrols in the Atlantic and Pacific and US air cover over the approaches to Canada.

    5. Trade deficits, plus military aid, plus our Federal Reserve has bailed your banks out in the past, plus NGO/USAID money, plus…

      Regardless of the exact verity of the amount, the fact is that your country’s existence is mainly subsidized by the U.S. You should be for all intents and purposes a state of our republic (your citizens would be better off for it, but I digress).

      What is excused (but not excusable!) from states like California or Illinois because they are a part of us, should not be tolerated from a foreign nation. My President has a duty to protect and serve the citizens of those states (whether they like it or not, and there are many that do as any county level map of the last election would show); he has no duty to the citizens of a foreign country.
      We won’t go further into the “allies and best friends” nonsense, though that does play into this and should be considered.

  7. Rejoice, our longtime peaceful neighbour finally transitioned to a fascist oligarchy and openly wants to conquer our continent by any means necessary! Take that, idiot liberals! Delicious tears!

    1. Conquer our continent by any means necessary? Your an idiot, a troll or both. Conquering Canada would involve a phone call, “we’re in charge now.” As Canada can do nothing, zero, zilch, nada about it, it is exactly that hard.

      1. Someone calling me an idiot or a troll, who neither knows how to spell ‘you’re’ nor understands the difference between conquer and occupy. Just bravo, sincerely genius shitpost.

        1. Thanks for the grammar lesson, troll. I quite know the difference but was making a point, not writing a piece for Vanity Fair. As to occupy, what other than some shepherds are required? Canadians are all of a sudden going to get uppity with their whatever guns are still legal are they? Terrified I am, I tell you.

        2. The shoe fits; wear it proudly. Always go with you’re good at.
          Looks to me like that’s all you’ve got going for you. Don’t cry now.

  9. Mark Styne wrote in “America Alone” that Canada, living under the American defence umbrella had the luxury of spending on social programs, health programs and what ever else Canadian governments thought they could buy votes with. Ignoring their obligations.
    No doubt this is part of the calculation. Hasn’t helped that Canadian politicians arrogantly enjoyed mocking America and its choices for decades, rising to a disgraceful level with Justin.
    For liberals history starts every morning.
    Trump is calling a spade a spade.

  10. It’s funny how a trade war with Canada will actually increase their overall trade deficit. A lot of the commodities are sold below market rates.

    1. Not on the oil. Open Anwar, open the continental shelf, and they can make up the 4 million bbl. But but but that will takes years! No. That would take years or maybe forever in canada due to bureaucratic intransigence and the feds not actually wanting it to happen. The secretary of the interior and the head of the EPA are get ‘er done MAGA types, it will take as long as they say it will.

      1. He already had 4 years to do that. Further, there is no shortage of oil. OPEC is opening the taps.

  12. Troll ALERT.. We borrow and spend on all the wrong stuff.. While Trump the Rump does his MAGA magic.. In 2 years the economic divide between our two countries will end the argument on who won this Letterkenny Chirp..

    And it wont be us..

    1. Uh yes, the economic divide will be stark. Canada will kinda suck, America will be a disaster. ‘MAGA magic’ = inflation, bankruptcy

      1. I’ve been KILLING IT in the stock market since buying the artificially fabricated dip. Thank you MAGA haters. Thank you TDS sufferers. Yeah … America is collapsing. Good gawd the stupidity must hurt.

        I have a 15% return in the NASDAQ in ONE MONTH since the fabricated Trump tariff tantrum. Gawd you leftists are dull witted.

  13. If Canada is that inconsequential to the USA, why the mockery? What the point of the insults? Talking like that makes you feel tough?

    Why don’t you just bugger off and leave us alone.

      1. “Because insecure manchildren with mental illness can’t think straight.”

        Oh, THE IRONY!…

    2. “If Canada is that inconsequential to the USA, why the mockery? What the point of the insults? Talking like that makes you feel tough?

      Why don’t you just bugger off and leave us alone.”

      Because the left-wing news media keeps trying to make it a story. It’s controversial….that’s why they keep asking about it.

    3. Because we can; we always could. Forbearance (and a certain amount of corruption within our business and political classes, higher ranking military as well) is the only thing that has stopped us.
      Lack of situational awareness can be a dangerous thing; my President is trying to make you see that. His methods are a bit blunt to be sure, but the time for niceties is perhaps over.

  14. It is time to acknowledge that Canada is Dead, dead, dead. Quit flogging the dead horse and let’s move forward, pushing for and demanding a divorce from the Eastern elites and the parasitic HOC. Freedom awaits by becoming the 51st State of the Republic of North America.

  15. Trump is head of Diagolon.
    Emperor Justine the Petulant was right, to declare a State of Emergency..
    The evil “terrorists” of Diagolon were undermining the nation,planning their power grab under cover of the Truckers Protest.
    See? All those Liberal Cabinet Ministers,citing Diagolon as a national threat,were not lying.

    Nevermind your lying ears,nor the evidence of your eyes,The Liberals were actually standing up to the evil forces that seek to destroy Can Ahh Duh and create a energy super power..
    And now we see the evil master mind.
    Trump has repeatedly told Canada what he wants..
    Yet to our dear Leaders and the government funded media..keep asking “What does Trump want”?

    I guess when you practise deceit as your first choice,you assume everyone else is lying too.

  16. “ If Canada is that inconsequential to the USA, why the mockery? What the point of the insults? Talking like that makes you feel tough?”
    There has always been a lot more mockery directed at Americans by Canadian liberals than the other way around.
    Did you just get here?
    Fentanyl, China, not to mention our being the back door for a host of offshore products.

    1. ” not to mention our being the back door for a host of offshore products.”

      And for that, they owe us thanks. And fentanyl, since it heads north not south.

    2. “There has always been a lot more mockery directed at Americans by Canadian liberals than the other way around.”

      It’s always made me laugh, when they try to sound all superior and stuff. 🙂

      Ask one of ‘those’ Canadians to define Canadian without making *any* reference to the USA. They can’t do it.

  17. You are totally correct.
    Canadians regularly engage in US bashing. It a cheap endeavor.

    Trump is the President of the United States of America. He’s held to a higher standard. His mockery is unflattering to him as well.

    I know the rules here. No Trump challenges.

    1. Not at all, but “leave us alone”?
      What about the reality of military protection?
      They don’t have a choice.
      Canada and Canadians are shameless.
      Taking this for granted is embarrassing.
      Flaunting it deserves punishment, not just mockery.

  18. It’s a matter of perspective
    Canada behaves like Quebec when dealing with Trump.
    Speaking of which
    Smith and Moe seem to be pretty clear about what they want from Carney, Quebec has made it clear they will obstruct any effort to construct a pipeline to the east coast.
    Do the math based on which federal seats the liberals value more to figure out how Trump gets what he wants without firing a shot.

  19. At some point, probably decades from now, our highest mountain, biggest lake and longest river will be named Trump. He may actually make this crazy experiment that is Canada work.

  20. I believe some of you are missing the entire point of what he’s doing. When I learned to “take Trump seriously, but not literally”, that helped me better understand him.

    Clearly, Trump and his team are going to be entering negotiations with Carney and his team. It seems that many Canadians, including some on here, believe the best course of action for the Americans is to start off by saying, “OMG Canadians, we love, love, love you! We couldn’t survive without you! Please be nice to us in these negotiations or we’re going to go away crying.”

    Is that really how you would approach negotiations with a foreign power?!

    As for the old line, “but we Canadians are really nice and the best friends Americans have ever had”, that pile of nonsense disappeared over the past few months.

    I will keep saying what I’ve been saying for some time now: “It’s too bad that the majority of Canadians HATE Trump specifically and Americans generally, much more than they’ve ever loved Canada or their fellow Canadians.” If this wasn’t true, there is NO WAY sane, intelligent people would have given the Lieberals a 4th mandate. No way.

    1. I think you are correct. Trump is making room for negotiations and trying to come in from a position of strength. He is America First and will leave it for the leaders of other countries to work in the best interests of their people.

      I think most people here are thinking “how can we work together” instead of “how do we advance our interests.” Trump is clearly in the second mindset so we should be as well. Maybe when the dust settles we can work at being friends again.

      1. “I think most people here are thinking “how can we work together” instead of “how do we advance our interests.” ”

        Which is exactly what Pierre Poilievre SHOULD have been saying during the election campaign, but didn’t. He instead allowed the Liberals and their media puppets to force him into Trump-bashing.

          1. Canada has quite the budding film industry, mainly supported by Hollywood trying to get a better deal with filming locations and to also sidestep British film quota laws (there’s that word again: quotas). It was worth around $12 billion in 2024.

            So why not tariff it? Perhaps get some of that money back in the U.S. It’s just business.

            Plus it will make the producers in Hollywood squeal — producers who have been very anti-Donald Trump, anti-American even. That’s just an extra bit of sweetness to go along with the business.

    2. Canada is a country whose people define themselves by a negation: Not American.

    3. Once again Robert you say Canadians when it’s clearly eastern canada that causes all our problems

    4. Trump doesn’t negotiate, he extorts. And his limited talent for even that is dried up.

    5. “I will keep saying what I’ve been saying for some time now: “It’s too bad that the majority of Canadians HATE Trump specifically and Americans generally, much more than they’ve ever loved Canada or their fellow Canadians.” If this wasn’t true, there is NO WAY sane, intelligent people would have given the Lieberals a 4th mandate. No way.”

      Well said, Robert. They not only don’t understand him…they don’t *want* to understand him.

    1. “Chatgpt, generate me a picture of buff jedi president trump and write me a provocative and controversial May 4th celebration tweet in his style”

      Uninspired, lazy, yawn.

  22. Many East Bloc people learned well what it’s like to live under left wing tyranny, the boomers may love it because they believed their communist teachers, but everyone since then except the mewling suck-ups could see through their bull$hit. And the boomers will be dead soon.

    Give this place a couple of years under Marx Carney and people here will be begging to have the artificial line eliminated, and there won’t be forty million left wing idiots added to the US, just a handful no worse than Pennsylvania…

  24. I really enjoy hiking in the mountains. My favourite place is Waterton Lakes National Park. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth. However, there is always a risk that you can run into a bear. Both Black and Grizzly Bears are numerous in the park and, of course, the worst option between the two is the Grizzly.
    Now, if you run into the bear, you can get mad at the bear, you can think it is a stupid bear or ask why won’t this dumb bear leave me alone or this bear is a stupid colour. It doesn’t really make much of a difference
    One thing I was taught, way back in my scouting days in fact is, whatever you do, DON’T PISS OFF OR PROVOKE THE BEAR!!!

    Right now, canaduh is standing in front of a very, very big bear. Doesn’t matter why the bear is there. Doesn’t matter what colour the bear is. Doesn’t matter if the bear is smart or dumb. The bear is there.
    And guess what? Canaduh is the hiker that is standing there smothered in bacon grease and honey.

    The Greatest Economist Ever ™ has absolutely no leg to stand on whatsoever. Yeah, try cutting off oil exports. See how that goes.

    I would love to be a fly on the wall or have a magic crystal ball (mine doesn’t work. Skunked on the 6/49 again!) when the Greatest Economist Ever ™ meets with Trump. Something tells me they will find his remains in the bear sh!t along the trail a couple weeks later.

    1. ‘The Bear’ is broke and in no position to make demands and is likely to tear itself apart in the next few years.

      2. “‘The Bear’ is broke and in no position to make demands and is likely to tear itself apart in the next few years.”

        No, that’s the Hiker. That’s Canada.

        The Bear is doing just fine by comparison.

        1. No it’s not it’s deeply in debt and doesn’t understand its own strengths and weaknesses and everyone hates it at this point.

          Look we all get it: you are desperate to live out your life vicariously through someone as stupid and belligerent as you so he live out your power fantasies. It isn’t my obligation or anyone else’s.

    2. This is a wonderful analogy because 99% of the time you can completely scare off the bear by pretending you’re big and threatening. And if it does happen to attack and kill you it’s all but guaranteed to be hunted down and killed by rangers.

  25. [Trump says something retarded]

    [Gets called out]

    “Just a prank bro!” -retards who are validated by President Supertard

    No we’re never joining America. There probably isn’t even going to be an America as we know it to join in a few decades. Not a superpower in any event.

  26. I have a deficit with Costco. I buy from them but they don’t buy from me.

    1. Non-analogous situation. Canada is more like a shopper who passes bad checks in Costco.

  27. Why keep doing business with us if your treated so badly? Especially since we don’t have anything you need/want?
