    The U.S. has always been a threat to democracies all over the planet. Look up the number of countries they have supported right-wing dictators in and coups against democratically elected left-leaning leaders. tRump has just bought the totalitarianism home, and dropped the mask for all the world to see.

    People need to remember history and not get fooled if the mask ever goes back on.

      The funniest thing to me is that even my MOST right leaning relatives on Facebook etc have started posting anti Trump stuff. Trump unified Canada in our dislike of him.

        I wish this meant they weren’t going to vote for a party that would happily offer Canada up for auction in exchange for the opportunity to kiss Trump’s feet

          You said Trump bus originally. We were on the American bus, not the Trump bus. Once there was a change of driver to Trump, we got off at the next stop, as you pointed out.

          Also most Canadians didn’t love PP either. Instead we were united in hating Trudeau, which is why the libs started climbing in the polls as soon as Trudeau left the room. Before there was a new leader.

          Alberta Premier Danielle Smith visits Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago


          One poll in the 2020s, noted by the Toronto Star, showed that about 50% of Americans are against Canada joining, 25% are in favour, and 25% are not sure


          And this shit is snowballing as reactionaries drive the media cycle, particularly in states like Alberta.

            Half of Canada was fully on the Trump bus the day before the tariffs hit. Canadian conservatives are as rife with MAGA anti-environmentalism, xenophobia, and rabid imperialism as their peers in Michigan, New Hampshire, and Idaho.

            They just don’t like being on the receiving end of Trumpism.

            Edit: We’ll see who is getting downvoted once the Alberta Separatists are running your biggest oil wells.

            I’m getting real “my truck is bigger than your truck” vibes. Contrary to some beliefs, running a country is actually more than making money. I know it can be hard for some people to see past a single policy though.

              Hardly a sentiment alien to the Great White North.

              Contrary to some beliefs, running a country is actually more than making money.

              Ah, but all the Tories need to run is a marketing campaign. They can worry about running the country later, kinda like how Johnson and Starmer were left to sort things out after Brexit.

              I know it can be hard for some people to see past a single policy though.

              I mean, American liberals said that about immigration 20 years ago. Kicked the can down the road even when they had supermajorities in Congress and a free hand to write whatever reforms they pleased.

              Now, here we are.

              Cost of living increases in Canada are driving people crazy. But the only response either party seems able to field is “More structured privatization, more subsidies, more deficit hawkery, more neoliberalism”.

              The Alberta Solution hinges on the theory that they can outrun capital consolidation if everyone becomes a roughneck earning six figure salaries at the well-head. Obviously bullshit. But you can at least point to current salaries and all those middle-income riggers and truckers with their big cars and nice homes and pretend it’s a serious solution.

              Carney’s up the same shit creek as Trudeau, though. He can’t do any real economic reforms that run afoul of the country’s biggest private stackholders. So he’s just left fiddling around the edges of policy, hoping Toronto housing prices magically deflate sometime in the next five years.

                How about “All Canadians except those that live in Alberta now see the US as a threat”

                  Europeans are still most concerned by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, Pew Research Center survey shows.

                  We understand America better. They’ll come around - especially if Russia starts having serious internal problems.

                  Hey, just cause you couldn’t make it work doesn’t mean we will fail too. You just didn’t do it correctly, we will do it RIGHT.

                    Alberta is not a state.

                        The prevailing opinion among conservatives seems to be that the Liberals suck at negotiating with Trump, and the Conservatives would put him in his place. It’s unfortunate that idiots vote so reliably

                          America is now following the path that Nazi Germany took. It is on the precipice of denaturalizing its own citizens, which will precipitate its own version of Night Of The Long Knives.

                          Which means that an attempt at seizing lebensraum should not be dismissed - Trump is already replacing key members of the military command structure with loyalists who will obey any command, no matter how unconstitutional. I mean, just look how the California national guard is being forced to play backup for ICE in California, against the wishes of its governor.

                          As Canadians, we need to be ready to make their lives very miserable when - not if! - this attempt at seizing lebensraum happens and America tries to make us the 51st state.
