Yet another distraction…
Or, maybe it’s not (just) distraction. Maybe he is seeding interest amongst the Canadian magatards. Maybe this is designed to give traction to Dani Smith and her ilk, to create division and internal strife.
Maybe Trump and the repubs have been following a playbook for all his Canada talk… maybe Putin’s playbook on Ukraine.
I think this is definitely a part of it.
Yeah, it sounds too much like Russia and Crimea to me.
“From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: Warfighting” -Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War September 30, 2025
One of these threats is not a distraction
No it isn’t. This is an offer you can’t refuse.
We refuse.
Steadfastly. Without pause. Ad infinitum.
Trump’s latest remarks come only days after Pete Hoekstra, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said it’s Canadians who are fixated on the 51st state talk, and that sort of rhetoric is now in the past.
These idiots can’t even keep their bullshit consistent.
Hoekstra can’t keep his bullshit consistent with his own bullshit a few seconds ago when he denied his previous bullshit after being called out on his bullshit being bullshit.
And Canada, once again tells Trump to “get fucked”.
Wait, I thought we had a fentanyl problem. Why would he want that?

CANDU doesn’t use enriched uranium. So unlike other nuclear powered countries we haven’t built enrichment capacity necessary for power and weapons.
Worse, the new SMR projects being built make us dependent on the US for fuel since they use enriched uranium.
Well, we have treaties. With countries other than the United States.
Might still be worth gearing up to breach them if need be, though. I suspect most of them will understand.

We Canadians just knew Trump would keep babbling about it.
oh look, another few years added to how long it will be before I consider going back there
I don’t know what math you’re using but adding more to infinity is beyond my cognitive capacity.
No need to come to the US. Hegseth wants to bring the US to you.
I’ll shit down his neck first
Yea time to start playing with switches at Niagara substations around the time the stock market opens again… Wonder how much that would wipe off the market
I will never become a worthless piece of shit American.
Trump can fucking die already. America sucks. Fuck you America!
I’m floating Cascadia joining up with Canada.
I feel like they’d do better as territories. Even the more left leaning US states have a very different political culture that I wouldn’t want imported into Canada
They should just be independent countries for a while and see how that goes before they even consider asking to move in with someone else.
Totally agree
STFU
I don’t know about you but as a lifelong Albertan my life would improve if my city had even a little bit of the culture of like, Seattle. I’m not guessing, I have been there and it would be a place I’d consider moving if they weren’t under fascist dictatorship keen on eradicating my people.
That’d be nice.
Fuck. Off.
Typical rapist, won’t take NO for an answer.
Why does he think ALL of Canada should be a single state, anyway?
Because he doesn’t actually understand how any of this works.
My guess is he thinks naming it just a single state conveys the message that Canada is inferior. It’s whatever enough to just clump all together.
He’s incredibly proudly stupid
Cause he is a fucking moron and an idiot with dementia
Because he started out stupid, then caught the dementia.
Because then he’d only have to deal with one puppet to get all the resources
I’m pretty sure Alberta would be its own state. But the rest of Canada is way too liberal for him to give us separate representation.
Fuck Trump, fuck the USA. We will never be a state.
That’s right. We’d be a territory. 😅
Nah we’d be a “protectorate” like Guam, Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands. Plus a neverending insurgency for good measure. 🖕🇺🇸♾️
I actually think he means statehood, since he very noticeably never offered it to the less-traditionally-white nation of Greenland.
It’s still a booby deal in several other ways.
