The only thing that makes sense is for Trump and Musk to take a rocket car to Mars.

Fuck you Trump

I recently met two Albertans out here in South Korea at a bar. They were on the other side of the bar from me, and when they walked past, I greeted them as an Ontarian and offered to shake their hands. They both declined the handshake and proudly announced, "We're not on the same team."

That was a few weeks ago. I'm still disturbed by it. I knew Albertans had a reputation because of the politicking there. But I hadn't realized it would be so blatant. That same night, two South Africans happily asked me my thoughts on Trump, and I was perhaps too honest in my first statement, and they grew upset with me and insisted he was good for Canadians and South Africans, both.

I left the bar not long after. Haven't seen those four come back, so there is a bright side to the story, at least.

Lol they should fucking stay in South Korea. They are definately in the minority, it's a larger minority then most of Canadas opinion but goddamn they are still a minority. Should have told them to never fucking come back

Trump became President and I decided to start the process to get guns.

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 minutes ago

Conservative Americans in shambles reading this as they find out that we do Infact own guns in Canada and are proud to own them. We just don't get all fucking pussy about not being able to own fully automatic ones with 50 round magazines lol.

Don't forget to practice regularly.

ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA,

My company:

Has two shops 1 in Canada and 1 in the US; US shop now solely handles all American related jobs while Canada handles any job globally, besides the US.

Honestly, Canada should shut down their border to the US period… I wish this could happen, but I feel it is unrealistic.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

And get all our fucking data off Azure and AWS servers already. The fact we did this in the first place has bothered me since day 1. I don't care if the data centres are in Canada, they're owned by a foreign company and "trust me bro" isn't a security policy.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 hours ago

I'm for it. It will hurt, but we'll manage.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 32 points 12 hours ago (17 children)

He's gonna fucking invade, isn't he?

[–] Thepotholeman@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 minutes ago* (last edited 9 minutes ago)

The USA needs congressional approval to officially go to war against another sovereign nation. Like with Afghanistan or Iraq. BUT Republicans control the house and Senate, and sure if they're that fucking delusional they could vote for it. But with that being said, it would 100% rip America apart and they fucking deserve it. Not only would we not put up with that shit and I would gladly shoot any foreign soldier on our land, it would mean the Russians getting exactly what they wanted.

Americans reading this, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER or you or your friends are going to start fucking dying on our fucking land for no other reason than a fat orange fucks vanity. You will be ostracized by the developed world and I for one will never fucking forgive you.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Looks like. All the signs are there and steps have been taken in preparation. The forcing of Canadians to register and get finger printed in the next 30 days was the icing on the cake. Now we wait and see how this unfolds.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

He clearly wants Canada, but it's not clear he wants it that bad. If he thinks more expensive electricity is a nasty move he's probably not too hot about stuff and people blowing up.

I suspect the next few months will be a lot like the past one for Canada. Not better or worse.

The National Post is a US billionaire owned right wing propaganda rag that most Canadians wouldn't wipe their ass with. If they're saying this it's a warning that should be heeded.

We are a large, rugged country with huge areas to hide in full of large rugged people with guns.

Won't someone assassinate this senile fat fuck?

[–] puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 38 points 14 hours ago

Ronald McDonald has been trying every damn day.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 89 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

We like our women with bodily autonomy and with the right to choose.

We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.

We like our heads of state to be respectful and respected on the world stage.

We like our right to privacy without surveillance, and our civil servants free from Krasnov’s oligarchs.

Most importantly, we like our beer to be unshittified!

Sincerely,

The Canadians who haven't already fallen victim to your propaganda.

Might be time for a EU expansion

-We like our right to protest without the fear of being jailed and deported.

Maybe you should tell our universities, corporations and the RCMP about this.

Old man shout at canada... again

[–] WorkshopBubby@lemmy.ca 27 points 15 hours ago

Bring it the fuck on yam tits. Lets fucking go. Send in your cultist freaks I can't wait to blow some yank limbs off.

[–] duane71@lemmy.ca 24 points 15 hours ago

When is this fat fuck gonna get it through his head that we will never be a part of the US, and there's nothing he can do about it?

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 71 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??

Wow

[–] MacroCyclo@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

This is the stupidest thing ever. If he really wants a 51st state then Puerto Rico is right there and wants to gain statehood.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

He wants our resources, PR can't help there.

[–] echo@lemmings.world 112 points 19 hours ago

Fuck off you demented old fool.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 13 points 13 hours ago

Is it really a "longtime tariff" when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish...

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 87 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

80-year-old angsty teen... how can anyone take this man child seriously?

We don't want to be the 51st state. The idea repulses us, actually.

Elbows up, guys!
