Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.
Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.
"It's so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping, 'Oh, Canada,' the national anthem, I love it. I think it's great. Keep it. But it'll be for the state."
It’s blatant extortion now.
Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!
So Trump is cool with Canadians moving to the USA and getting a job?
They don't have to! We just want the dirt part of Canada.
Just like he wants the dirt part of Gaza. The people should move on to magical lands such as Greenland, Blue land, but most preferably brown land south.
"Canadians must surrender or die" - Future news from 2027
He needs to find a more productive obsession that's much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.
I miss the good old days when he just obsessed about fucking his daughter instead of my country.
Or take up painting.
Well this shit is likely not helping american military moral, which is good since this war will be rough and Canada needs every advantage/deserter available.
Imagine the whole world boycott United States of Gilead
Imagine being so stupid as to vote for little d over the price of eggs and getting a war with Canada.
Canada, this guy ain't gonna learn until you burn it down a second time.
Hopefully carney is up to the task of getting us new trade relations soon.
We won’t stop fighting against Trump until he is absorbed into the ground.
He'd better not come in my yard or I'll put him there.
Next thing you know, we'll start intercepting their maritime vessels and press-gang their sailors.
In case people don’t realize. Canada shares an Arctic border with Russia and Russia is trying to take Canadian land and regularly crosses into our waters to steal resources. It is of benefit to Putin for Canada to be weak and distracted by Trump, since Trump works for Putin, it’s very clear why he’s doing this
He bends over for putin all the time. Strange...
Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.
Have these random programs actually helped Americans?
To my naive view, would America not he better served with a far more progressive tax system, in lieu of spending these large sums to foreign countries and various agencies that squander what could be given to the poor?
In what world is giving the poor more money directly not he an effective means of raising their standard of living, which should be the main point of a progressive government?
I genuinely thinks he also wants to annex canada though
It’s very interesting that he is criminalizing climate change, while seeking to take over the lands that would benefit from climate change.
There’s another fella across the ocean that is accelerating climate change because it will benefit his country.
Great take. I agree. We know this from Project 2025. Keep an eye on it but don't let it distract. Trump and cronies are using a strategy coined flood the zone to prevent coordinated opposition against them in politics and media.
I hope that people in the Pentagon remember that following illegal orders is a crime, too, and you cannot be forced to do so. Something established in Nürnberg when they took care of the Nazis.
An order to attack Canada, Mexico, Greenland, or Panama would basically be such an illegal order.
This is not the first time the US has made up bullshit in order to attack a country: WMDs in Iraq, communism in Vietnam, Russia said there were nazis in Ukraine to justify that war. The military only needs a lie and then it’s not illegal anymore. The lies are already circulating. “canada is communist” “canada hurts the US”
I'm not sure it's technically illegal, and I'm very doubtful that the current judiciary would find it so. But it is unconscionable. And insane.
If troops do illegal shit, the U.S. judicial system is one of several places they could possibly be held accountable.
It's not technical illegal at all. Nothing he does is. The Supreme Court made him king.
Lol the Pentagon isn't afraid to fake evidence to support an invasion. Remember the aluminium tubes? Remember yellow cake uranium? I remember.
Pepperidge farms remembers
When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?
I'm sorry but let's not forget that Iraq was a thing.
.... And you think the trump government cares about some German town (as trump would explain that)?
He has the memory of a cod and the backbone of a slug, this is all bluster and he'll cave the moment anyone he knows tells him otherwise.
Strongman my ass
I know trying to make sense of the stupidity that is Trump's "plan" for America is a lost cause. But why do they speak like turning Canada into a singular state makes any god damn sense??
Also, is war inevitable? I honestly don't know. Shit is not looking good. If war breaks out, I would find a way to flee and volunteer to fight on the opposing side. No way am I supporting my country on the wrong side of history.
War? Remember that we're talking about nuclear war. That is possible of course, but many people with brains would try to stop Trump from starting it. Would they succeed? Who knows.
This is what I hope -- that there are enough actual patriots, people who believe in the Rule of Law and the principles our Republic was built on, and resist. That military commands will rebel, that people will be gathering OSInt for Canada, and saboteurs and vandals and lone wolves start making things miserable for the administration and anyone who supports them.
today seems like a good day to remember David Fagen, an American soldier who defected to fight for the Philippines against the American invasion and is remembered as a hero for it in the modern era
I think war against Panama is far more likely. The idea of annexing Canada is wildly unpopular among both Democrats and Republicans. The best you could get away with is an EU type economic union. We already have some in the military who have said they won’t invade our allies.
A full on war against Canada is unlikely. Maybe a single battle?
Sabaton is gonna have so much material to work with in the coming years.
The US could attack Canada and they could take our cities in Southern Ontario easily, however, that would instantly deputize everyone else and there would be tens of millions of insurgents fighting asymmetrical warfare forever more. We would also destroy all the assets the US sought to take from us cause Canadians are vindictive AF. If we can’t have what’s rightfully ours neither can US invaders.
There would be insurgency in the lower 48 as well.
Yeah, I definitely don't have loyalty to fascism. Being autistic and leftist, they will want me dead. Here's hoping that I can help in some useful way.
A land war at the border would give him justification to deploy military domestically for “defense”.
No. War isn't inevitable. People have nukes and definitely will use them if needed. In other words, a cold war might occur, but maybe not regular war at least not in North America.
Trump can be talked down by people that understand reality, but not always. Putin, a much more intelligent leader, thought his invasion of Ukraine would be over in a week and look how that worked out for Russians.
I honestly think the "better" thing to do is stay inside and try to sabotage the aggressors. This would obviously require a great deal of cunning and bravery.
If you want to really sabotage the war effort, use the war to push for state secession from the union, particularly if you're in a blue state. Most of the blue states are economic engines that keep the rest of the machine ticking. If they leave, or try to, that'll be a huge kick in the nuts to any war effort.
Fuck Trump. Loser cannot die soon enough.
fucking Luigi this guy for God's sake anyone
it wouldn't be soon enough if he died 25 years ago.
His death won’t solve our problems. We’ll have Trump adjacent Russian puppet who will run and win. Trump has admitted to fixing the election, so the r’s know they can repeat their strategy again effectively.
Hopefully after the next election. We wouldn't wanna have Adolph Vance do something stupid. Like a few days to a week should be fine. Meanwhile I'd be totally fine with an increasing level of dementia? Like maybe he declares war on Mexico on Sunday, but then travels there for vacation Tuesday, then Wednesday he declares war on Mexico again from Mexico. It could get interesting. So long as he shuts down the government for most of the year, were good.
Personally hoping he just drops dead, but that a week or two beforehand, he and Loveseat have some public falling out about...something, honestly the specifics don't matter. Hell, it could even be something that never actually happened and is just the dementia taking hold. Point is, if he rages against Vance on Truth or wherever and then keels over, every qanon dumbfuck in creation is going to collectively cream their pants over that shiny new conspiracy, and while we will technically be stuck with President Loveseat, that would nerf the fuck out of him.
STFU about this fucking petulant imperialist nonsense. 40 million insurgents is what this orange fuckface will get. US is not getting one fucking square CENTIMETRE of Canadian land. I used metric on purpose too. fuck the USA.
It'll be more than that. There'll be millions of Americans who won't stand for it either. To think of it though, that might be the point. Something so heinous, yet legal (barely), that it legitimately compromises our security and forces martial law and a state of emergency he can exploit.
Martial law AND a war at the same time would stretch the military pretty damn thin.
If he enforced martial law that’s within the US borders. I’ve never heard of a country being under martial law then invading another country but someone please enlighten me. He clearly wants to incite violence, I’m reading Stephen Marche’s The Next Civil War and Marche argues quite effectively that while he doesn’t know what the inciting event will be, the violence willl come from the right.
According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they're related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they're being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they're going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.
If they give in
lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. Canada literally exists because we didn't want to be part of the US. If you want Washington burned down a second time, keep at it.
I don't understand their endgame here. I'm sure they could take over Canada by force if they wanted, but keeping it is a whole other matter. They should have learned from the many wars they fought that occupying land the locals don't want you to occupy sucks.
Fuckit. I'll greet the Canadians at the boarder as liberators.
...
Do you promise? That doesn't sound so bad, tbh.Many of us will welcome you with open arms.
Something something “greeted as liberators” only for real
Don't tease us. You're getting some of us excited here.
You promise!? I'll bring the popcorn
Well, that and also the fact that Canadians currently see the US as a severely indebted dumpster fire where the system is specifically designed to exploit and oppress its citizens for the profit of the few. A police state where cops can assault, rob, unlawfully imprison and murder anyone without repercussion, where your insurance company will deny you life saving treatments to make more money despite charging you twice what Canadians pay for their own health insurance through their slightly higher taxes, where the cost of education is absurdly prohibitive and social mobility is nonexistent, where it is legal to pay someone a salary that is not even enough to keep them lodged and fed while working over 50 hours a week on several jobs, where corporations can sell you food containing ingredients that are known to be harmful to your health, where religious zealots with belief systems that belong to the dark ages wield significant political power, where citizens are locked up for simple violations while rich people get away with murder, where entertainment TV shows can spew out pure disinformation while calling themselves "
FOXNews" where Corporations are being given human rights that take priority over real humans and their political donations are considered "free speech", where any moron can buy a gun without even having a single clue on how to use it safely and where the violent crime rate is through the roof, all that while chanting about being the greatest country on Earth.And that was before we even take Trump into consideration. But hey, he said we could keep our anthem because he likes it and that we'd pay lower taxes. So I guess that makes it worth it now?
Hey, that's my view of the US too, from ground zero!
if canada is threatened they can just cut out all traffic to ALASKA, starve the state.
This abministration wouldn't give a shit.
This is just a distraction to distract Americans, so they do not pay attention to all the things Krasnov Trump and Felon Musk are doing.
It’s hard to tell, but I think at least some of it is. The tariffs are meant to crash the economy so the rich can buy up land for cheap. Trump also wants martial law but seems to be struggling to invoke it without some kind of attack on the US.
I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.
He says the US doesn't need Canada, we should do the same.
He says the US doesn't need Canada but also wants to annex it.
The US absolutely does need Canada's natural resources. The Canadian people and its sovereignty stand between him / America and that golden goose.
If you recall the colonial era, when a stronger nation wants the resources of a weaker nation, it generally does not go well for the weaker nation.
Canada needs to accelerate the process of partnering with other nations now. It is never going to win a trade war against the US alone. Reciprocal tariffs are not going to cut it. Time to diversify the customer base and then tell the Americans to pound sand when they inevitably come knocking.
Canada is already the only G7 nation that has a free trade agreement with all other G7 nations.
Canada should join BRICS
Canada should sell the $378 billion it owns of US debt.
With how racist they are towards China?
I mean it would work out better for them but I'm pretty sure brics doesn't need such an economic and cultural drag, even if it would be very, very funny.
It's incredible. Trump lost it a long time ago. He has no connection to reality. He's mentally disabled. Yet world leaders now have to seriously respond to the incoherent shit that falls out of his mouth.
Is it even him talking, or someone behind his back rotating him around to scream in one direction or another?
He's actually more coherent than during his first presidency. They must be coaching the shit out of him.
And there you have it. It was never about fentanyl. It was always about annexation (i should just call it as it is and call it invasion). And that’s why there was never anything that Canada could do to stop the tariffs.
Not much i can do from across the ocean, except join in the boycott. But i’m boycotting anything American. Not just products of red states. I want to see America burn, and for Americans to lay the blame squarely on Trump, Elon, the Republican party and the 31% of Americans who are too stupid or racist to recognise a con.
Texan here. The boycott will help! The worse it is for America now, the better we’ll all be in the long run. Make Americans remember that we’re part of a global community.
54% of Americans read at below a 6th grade level and half do not have a passport. They are fed propaganda from a young age to believe that their nation is the absolute best and with such poor literacy it's doubtful that they ever question it.
Teaching Americans that they're part of a global community is an uphill battle. The populace has been in a state of being dumbed down to the point of accepting someone like Trump for several decades now.
Thanks friend.
Thanks, now Canada can more easily commit to exporting its energy and resources to Asia and Europe.
Canada will outlive Trump.
Yeah. Hopefully Canada can completely detach from the cancer that my home country has become. And same goes for everywhere else.
For the greater good of the rest of the planet- everyone needs to cut ties with this festering disease of a “nation.” And I sincerely hope it happens.
Canada will outlive Trump.
I would expect so. Trump is already on IVs.
Yeah, but it's a big PITA. Gotta expand ports and have long lines at existing ports which means pollution and blight. Lots of benefit to having a sane trade partner within truck/train/pipeline range. Having to steer around a crazy grandpa means thinner margins and more risk.
When the President of the United States says this shit, is it okay now to say - as a Canadian - that I wonder why more Americans aren't trying to kill him yet? Like, what the hell is going on? HE IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED.
I would think no, but considering that I posted the article, I’d leave it for other mods to act on if necessary.
A bit of a grey area to me as it’s just wondering, not actually suggesting.
There HAS to be news that's not being covered about shit like this. I refuse to believe that in a country of nearly 400 million people there aren't a few with good sense
We need to guarantee payment to whoever steps up, and make sure that their family is looked after for life.
The Luigi who saves us all will be hailed as a hero around the world for decades. World leaders would congratulate them for preventing countless needless deaths, and future dictators won't fuck around for very long before finding out.
My pet conspiracy theory is that there's already been multiple attempts since Butler, but they aren't being publicized because they don't want to encourage others.
That wouldn't surprise me. I live in awe of he fact that he's not dodging bullets all day every day.
I think it's just because people still have hope that the systems will work as usual and right the ship. I think a lot of people are waiting to see what happens with this administration's reaction to court orders, etc. But I think that we're going to start spawning radicalized reactionaries soon.
Do you expect the average American to just be able to stroll up to him with a gun and shoot him? We're literally a police state. He's got secret service watching him. It's complicated, and if somebody was successful they would be throwing away their own entire life guaranteed.
That kid nearly did it. Soon there will be fake trumps like the fake Putin's.
i agree with the other person who replied.
Those two attempts failed. Now he isn’t on the campaign trail and he has the world’s best security. The only people that can take him down are an army at this point.
I think they think it’s futile, since bullets didn’t work. But we have other means. Like remote controlled flying things.
I'm just really really disappointed in Time. Like, you had ONE JOB.
I won't mention on the "bullets didn't work" comment. But have you ever heard the word "yet"?
The guy is threatening to annex my fucking country. If you have problems with me wishing harm upon your self-proclaimed conqueror, you can eat my leaf. (not you specifically, of course)
We’ve been subjected to costs that we shouldn’t be subjected to. In the case of Canada, we’re spending 200 billion a year to subsidize Canada. I love Canada, I love the people of Canada. I love I have many friends in Canada. The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great. Hey, how good is Wayne Gretzky? He’s a great one.
why tf does the media present this as anything other than unhinged dementia word salad
Is Quayle still alive? He’s gotta be pissed about the “potatoe” thing.
I have no idea what the fuck he's talking about in terms of "subsidizing" Canada. Either he has absolutely no idea how trade defects work or he's purposefully playing dumb since apparently Canada needs the US less than the US needs Canada
Assuming he believes his words (as opposed to using rhetoric to get what he or someone around him wants, in either case unfortunately, I think he's serious). I think he sees anything purchased from another country as "subsidizing" that country. To him, its money the US had that Canada now has. I sometimes think he somehow thinks the US should be given things, because...??? Every transaction has to have a "winner" and a "looser" and whoever has a + on the balance sheet is the winner, it doesn't matter what that + really means. (I can only bend my logic so far to try to figure these things out)
He’s weaponizing his very armed sycophants against Canada. And is warming the rest of the world up to annexing us. Dementia Don said it AGAIN tripling down on the obscenity today while sitting next to the chair of NATO Mark Rutte, and Rutte the COWARD and CRAVEN piece of shit, said nothing while Shittler shat out of his mouth 51st state nonsense and arbitrary border horseshit.
Carney should not meet with Frump. Fuck it. It’s appeasement. There’s no going back on this, no apology could suffice from the US. This is fucking DONE.
We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.
No ... we need a lot more than that to work through the line of succession.
Okay… that made me laugh. Thanks. Needed that tonight.
If he really means that, then Punxsutawney Trump has just forecast another four years of recession.
Who the fuck is Trump to decide if we’re a sovereign country or not.
At this point: Death to Trump. Murder Trump. Eradicate Trump.
I’ll fight and die for this country.
TRUMP DESERVES DEATH!!!
Good luck. We have allies and friends who still trade with us that we don't tariff. And as for all of this garbage from Americans asking us to absorb the US instead...
No. Fuck you. You made this mess, you clean it the fuck up. I would not want to touch your shitty country in a hazmat suit BEFORE this recent election. Your country is toxic waste.
If I suddenly stop posting forever in the summer it's because I saw someone wearing a Trump hat here in Newfoundland and proceeded to do some things to him that are very much illegal.
Note to any Americans coming to Canada though for any reason. Ditch the flags and hats and shit. We got tired of it a long time ago but I've outright seen people refuse to serve Americans so far who display any sort of patriotism and I kinda back them on it.
He was sitting right next to the Chair of NATO today when he said this fucking bullshit yet again. The NATO chair said NOTHING even though Orange Shittler talked about violent annexation of a G7 NATO member and (in normal times) ally of the US. Canadians - are you ready to fucking FLQ 2 electric boogaloo ??? Cause it’s looking like that more and more every day.
Hey just one thing. Please don't do illegal things to people wearing MAGA hats. They aren't worth it and American conservative media will just use it to fuel the fire.
In the spirit of the Ukrainians on Snake Island, I say "American president, go fuck yourself"
Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!
....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?
I want off this ride.
Yeah. I think many of us do.
Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.
I think if this stupid bastard makes any kind of military moves, there will be an uprising. Invading a long-standing ally is ridiculous.
I got it in 2020, but I can't imagine being in the military right now. We might attack an ally or we might commit a genocide. Neither of which I can support or accept as a lawful order.
Mango Mussolini is commander in chief of the us army. The army does what it is told. The US army won’t save Canada from the US army.
Geezus. Is he really fucking serious about this shit?
Remember, it ain't just trumps dumbfuck ass. He's got a whole cabal of his team telling him to do this shit and encouraging him. This idiot doesn't know wtf he's doing without other people feeding him info.
We should be asking who's behind all these ideas.
Well, the two countries that would benefit from Canada's nonexistence are the USA and Russia. There might be a clue in that as to who is seeding these ideas in Republican circles.
I honestly don't think the US would benefit from Canada's non-existentence. Any sort of actual war would cause far more damage to the US than any sort of possible benefit they may see later.
Gonna make Afghanistan feel like a trial run when Canadians and sympathetic Americans fight back.
I would not be surprised at all if the white house gets burned down again if they actually attacked us.
Yeah. At this stage, after this much back and forth, this is a serious statement. It wasn't just a one off dementia thing. This statement was the thrust of what he was saying so this is what he wanted to say. He's not campaigning anymore, or justifying policy anymore. It was a direct extortion attempt on an entire country by the man in charge of the world's most powerful military.
Who cares at this point. It’s at least one billionaire. The idea is out there and circulating and Canadian citizens need to get our shit together about asymmetrical warfare. Cause we’re gonna be fighting it for the rest of our lives.
Fuck off. He is a senior Alzheimer patient.
I'm sure Ontario, Alberta, British Colombia ... will all be happy to lose their provincial legislatures for one State House. No local representation. All provincial systems of trade destroyed.
This is idiotic talk.
It's the talk of a hostile mobster nation. It resembles Putin's hostility towards Russia's neighbours.
Yeah, this is the same sort of unhinged "they're not a real country, they're like little children that need to be taken care of" bullshit that Putin's spewed about Ukraine over the years.
The thing that really concerns me is that it's not just Putin. The Russian population as a whole fell right in line with it. And so, too, I fear the American population might. They just don't understand the utter visceral rage Canadians are feeling about this treatment right now. They're treating this like yet another goofy dumb thing Trump is saying.
like russia almost, where do you think trump got his ideas from.
This news article has been posted on r/worldnews and upvoted to be one of the top posts of the day at least twice already, and the mods remove it every single time. Feels like they are trying to cover up Trump’s plans for Canada, at least for now. Probably until more Americans can be brainwashed against Canada.
It’s safe here. Trust me.
Fuck the Reddit hellsite.
Come to Canada.
Find out.
I never thought that WWIII would be started by US. And US being the best buddies with Russia when they are setting the world on fire. I really hope US could get their shit back together soon. That really is a shithole country, not an inch of better than Russia. I don’t have words to describe how much I hate that shithole.
It's as though Trump think's he's the first person in history to realise that canada has some nice things.
If you have a $200b trade deficit you can just take over that country and then there's no deficit.
There is no trade deficit. If you spend $200 at a grocery store, you do not have a trade deficit with that store. The US is free NOT TO BUY CANADA’S SHIT. Oh right the US are avaricious consumers who can’t live without their fucking brands and cheap Walmart garbage. They can’t go one second without.
Trade deficits are also often structured that way on purpose because the alternative is the smaller country not allowing any trade in from the larger country.
The solution is easy. Canada is already bigger than the USA, so the US should join Canada.
We would vote and then make Canada as shitty as the US is.
To all Canadians, us sane Americans would rather you prefer as you are. This is a concrete example of a "president" that just thinks the way to "lead" is by writing as many executive orders as possible and pressuring other countries to meet ridiculous demands by initiating trade wars and threatening them.
A complete bully.
I know that many Americans don't like this either. But Canada is unable to defend itself against the US military without serious help. And I don't completely trust that a US population that couldn't be bothered to vote against Trump would take any action to stop him if he were to give the order to invade.
Canada could never defend itself from the US military. Never. Canada could only do asymmetrical warfare and insurgency. But it would also never end. So the US would have to kill all 41 million of us to put a stop to us going FLQ 2 electric boogaloo on them until the end of time. Also we would poison pill all our resources as well. If we can’t have what’s rightfully ours, neither can the fucking USA. Scorched earth.
He's not a bully.
He's a fascist.
You guys need to get serious about saying, that real fast.
America has a fascist government, and Americans need to figure out how to do something about that.
It took Hitler less than a hundred days to go from elected to dictator. And from there it took less than four years to invade Poland and start WW2.
Fascism is nothing more than the bully mentality writ large. He is a bully but a bully is no trivial thing. They're the absolute scum of humanity.
Has Canada considered adopting USA as a province? USA seems like it needs help.
No way in hell do we want that electorate anywhere near our government.
Can we do a territory with limited autonomy? That way we can't infect your politics.
Americans are some of the most politically divided people on the planet in a country that's basically a few corporations in a trenchcoat with limited to no social safety nets and crumbling infrastructure.
Why on earth would Canada want that? America may be the richest nation on earth but you don't see that when you drive down an ordinary American street. All that money is sitting in the coffers of a handful of billionaires and corporations.
Hard pass.
Don’t worry, it was sarcasm.
Vermont could apply to join Quebec. If they can commit to learn some French. I'm wed get along very fine.
Trust me, you don't want our drama. You're always welcome to annex me personally, though.
To our Canadian friends, I'm really sorry about all this nonsense. I love Canada just the way it is. Can't wait for my next trip up to Toronto or Montreal. Always a good time. I'm a little worried that I might not get a warm welcome on the next trip though.
We hate your government and its supporters and those who couldn’t be bothered to vote and we won’t buy your shit anymore forever but you’ll be fine to visit as a tourist.
Just open everything with.....first of all "Fuck Trump"
First of all, fuck Trump.
...actually I guess that's all I really had on my mind. Carry on.
I wonder how many people know you can download for free or purchase the files for 3D printed guns. The additional parts can be bought, legally, in discreet kits from easy to find online sellers - but many of those parts can be bought or modified from commercially available hardware. I wonder if people know that.
FYI, the Trudeau government wants that to be illegal, not the actual download build and use, but just the knowledge to be able to do it.
If I find the information again I will upload a link.
I have a hard time believing that because it would be nearly impossible to implement, monitor and prosecute. Not to mention Trudeau is no longer the party leader. Not to mention you can't really ban having the knowledge to do something.
Do you mean Bill C-21? Because that only covered the possession and distribution of files and parts for ghost guns.
but where do you get ghost bullets for your ghost guns?
The receiver is the part of the gun with a serial number that has to be reported to the government when sold or transferred. Every other part and ammunition are normal goods with few restrictions.
Only one part needs to be self crafted to make and fire a ghost gun. They are not impossible to detect through investigation or forensics, they're just unregistered.
Walmart.
10 Provinces + 3 Territories = 1 single state's worth of representation.
GFY DT.
If it did happen, private insurance would decimate Canadian universal Healthcare almost instantly. That alone would lead to significant political unrest. American healthcare is by far the most dystopian among high income nations.
Please we’d be a territory and our people completely subjugated. The US won’t hand over political power after violently annexing a sovereign country.
"Representation" under a fascist government with a would-be dictator who has promised to abolish voting. And they've been openly discussing making Canada a territory without representatives anyway.
The problem is, Canada has been secure so far because the USA has been an ally, and Russia knew that an attack on Canada from the north would be resisted by the USA. Not to mention the impracticality of the attack when the Arctic is frozen. But now the Arctic is becoming viable for ships and Canada finds itself sandwiched between two hostile nations, Russia and the USA, with the USA more likely to.collaborate with Russia in destroying Canada than to defend it. And Canada's military is very small compared to either of those countries.
Well, Ontario has been talking about building some more nuclear reactors. I guess it's time to change up the "reactor" part.
The Overton Window has shifted so far in just a couple of months, I'm pretty sure the glass shattered
If we had a working government, the 25th would have been invoked a few times ago. It's one thing to go along with Grandpa as he rattles of craziness, but when Grandpa has power to make those things happen, and when the ones around him are somehow seeing the demands as rational...what a screwed up family.
i like how hes sticking to 51 state spin as a distraction to the firings doge has been doing lately.
I am hoping that Trump is dumb enough to declare war against Canada, the EU, Panama, and Mexico simultaneously. That would make it easier to dogpile the fucker.
For the moment, though, it looks like that he is gearing up against Mexico first. IIRC, something like 10 brigades are being placed at the border. I think he might be able to convince the cartels and official Mexican government to ally, considering that he can't tell the difference between anyone who isn't him.

Fuck, guess I'm buying some guns.
Canada will be waiting!
