Summary
Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.
Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.
Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.
The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.
Given the definition of ‘state’, isn’t that actually correct, even if misleading to the modern ear?
🤦♂️ it’s gonna be a long 4 years
It already feels like it has been a long month and he isn’t even in the office right now
Maybe someone like Luigi will help us out. Mario?
Then we just get JD Vance.
And after him, another.
It’s going to take all of us.
Peach? Yoshi? Bowser? There are a lot of ride-or-dies in the crew.
BREAKING NEWS:
Waluigi & Wario arrested after shooting President-elect Trump & JD Vance!
I’m not sure how many it would take to make me sad. Probably a lot. How much is 1% of the population? That’s probable when I’ll stop laughing and suggest maybe we think about another solution. But I dunno, seeing people who allow people to die for a profit won’t ever get old.
We had one, he missed allegedly, l.
Poor Tommy “Iron Sights” Crooks.
It will only be 4 years if we’re lucky.
God, I would feel so happy and safe if my neighbor joked about subjugating me under his rule. Especially when they’re 8x my population and have 26x the military budget.
Americans would be better off under Canadian rule.
I’m not for imperialism, but at this point, can we just hand the US back to the UK.
Like, they tried this whole independence thing, it clearly did not work.
(obvious /s on the UK part)
obvious /s on the UK part
Obviously. The US belong to France.
Sounds like a threat to me. US should do a preliminary strike before Canada tries anything.
We (NATO countries) would have your back but damn is this a bleak thought, I do not like imagining this situation unfolding at all.
Long-shot 2025-2029 bingo card square: Canada joins the CSTO, USA rolls over the border, Russians rush in, WWIII and nuclear armageddon with a delicious maple flavor. I’d read that book, anyway, but hope it’s fiction rather than history in a decade or so.
I put USA joins CSTO on my bingo card square - I see a special bond between Russia and USA, Trump have a crush on Putin.
As opposed to the whining shit pants child running the kindergarten that is America.
the heavily armed free-fire warzone nazi casino kindergarden lol
I beg your pardon, out of the 100 kids old enough to talk, 51 said this is the best kid to rule the kindergarten.
Actually about 37 of them didn’t say anything at all so only 31 of the kids wanted him in
Remember student councils? Doing like elections and shit in grade 6 or whatever.
People campaign on shit like ‘no school on Fridays if you vote for me’ or ‘a Nintendo in every class’. And people vote accordingly.
And that’s the extent of our political education and it continues to work even when spoke by the same demonstrable liars and idiots.
And exactly why, as an adult, can’t I vote for “no work on Fridays”? Why can’t I decide for myself as adult “I don’t want to spend money on universal healthcare, I want to spend it on weed, and if tomorrow I get cancer I’ll happily die, I’ll take that gamble”. Who are you, anon, to take that choice away from me and, who the f are you to dictate me how to responsibly live my life?
And if you think you know what’s best for me, or for whoever else voted for the “wrong for them” politician, then you’re simply against democracy. State this clearly “I know what’s best for people, and they don’t cuz they’re sheep trusting the wolf”.
And suddenly instead of being a resistance fighter you turn into a benevolent superior being whose help is somehow unappreciated. A very different picture in my opinion.
You can’t vote for those things because nobody is actually offering them. That’s the point of the student council analogy.
He hasn’t started yet and is already alienating Canada and Mexico, both it’s biggest trading partners.
Those two working together could already run the US into the ground financially
Time to make Shoresy the US ambassador. I’d love to see what he’d say about melania
How many electoral college votes and house of representative seats would they get with their population?
Not sure this would play in his favor.
If Canada was granted several states then we would tilt the senate to the democrats.
Most likely he’d want us a slave state like Puerto Rico
But he clearly said state, I thought Puerto Rico was famously not an official state.
He clearly says lots of things he hasn’t thought out, understand or is going to go back on. He’s a liar.
Oh yeah, I’m not expecting logical consistency, more like just seeing what the implication is via a thought experiment.
Would we keep our health care or, even less likely but better, extend the healthcare to the US?
If it’s the second one, the answer is still no but I would love to help our American peeps in theory.
Edit:
Also, since the US cares more about a state’s land than population, how many seats do we get?
Big words from the button holding up Canada’s pants
And Trump is the mayor of the state of Denial.
Mayor of North-Mexico
Justin should hold all meetings at like Jubilee heights, Chrysler field, etc, and see how long until his people Get It.
It may be too subtle for them. It may be too subtle for us here.
… Can you explain for my friend? I’d explain it to them myself, but I don’t want to make them feel bad for not knowing.
It’s too subtle for me…
