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.

      I beg your pardon, out of the 100 kids old enough to talk, 51 said this is the best kid to rule the kindergarten.

        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.

          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.

    How many electoral college votes and house of representative seats would they get with their population?

    Not sure this would play in his favor.

    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.

        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)

        Sounds like a threat to me. US should do a preliminary strike before Canada tries anything.

        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.

    Justin should hold all meeting 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.
