    Just keep pretending we want it and waste his time for as long as we can

    I’m convinced that a lot of countries are “still in talks” with Trump for exactly that reason.

    Anyone with half a brain knows that it’s futile to actually negotiate in good faith with Trump.

      My wife suggested we pay by e-transfer and make the security question too hard for Trump to answer. For example: what is Melania’s birthday? What is Eric’s middle name?

        Why even do this?

        Beyond funding the military Industrial complex, there is no reason for this. The US has by beyond far the biggest military in the world, there are no realistic threats, this is a ginormous waste of money and resources

        And to those saying that China is a threat: yeah, to Taiwan, perhaps. But attacking the US mainland? Come on, be serious.

          Also worth noting: the day the king arrived he started talking about the 51st state shit again.

          Which just flies in the face of everything the US ambassador (name escapes me at the moment) has been saying

          Thank you!

          I can’t remember the name neither and I don’t care to look it up, but he was like: “why are you Canadians getting so hung up on this? Trump hasn’t mentioned it in a while now”

          He didn’t fucking apologize or take it back or do anything to make amends. He threatened us, you clown!

          Fuck you, you nameless US Ambassador!

            His name is Pete Hoekstra, and I can’t say I’m a fan on what I’ve heard so far. Seems like he was put in the position to try and gaslight the hell out of us, he seems very disingenuous from what I’ve read so far. This interview got me annoyed.

              Trump is a lawn sprinkler of verbal diarrhea. Moronic and hateful rhetoric constantly spews from out of his mouth in whatever direction he happens to face at a given moment.

                Prime Minister Carney, know the signs of a scam!

                It may be a scam if someone:

                • Demands immediate payment
                • Uses threatening language
                • …Requests payment by cryptocurrency or gift cards

                If you are in doubt, take a minute to ask yourself why you are being contacted. It’s okay to ask questions and say no.

                      “What is Eric’s first name?” would probably suffice tbh

                          Canada should not be “negotiating”/subjugating itself to this. Instead it should demand the US pay for NORAD. There is a huge cost to Canada for sycophancy to US empire. Our entire military spending is based on force amplification to the US empire’s demonic and genocidal imperialism, and the illusion of impunity for consequences, makes us cheer on the propaganda for evil, and not pay enough attention to the costs.

                          So much prosperity in Canada, EU, and other US colonies can be unlocked through spending on other than a militarist destiny fueled by Russophobia and Sinophobia propaganda.

                                I can’t be the only one who can’t help thinking of the rumored Trump golden shower tapes every time he talks about the golden dome. It’s what I imagine he’s dreaming of, but on a continental scale.

                                  No, but it’ll stop NATO missiles liberating us after the US annexes us.

                                    Ah, crap. I forgot about that. Ok, new idea: Canada pays for the whole thing, on condition that the US becomes our cherished 4th territory.

                                      I have the feeling that’s what Carney is doing. Keep playing along, dragging it out. While making deals with the rest of the world.

                                        Calm your tits. Were talking about going up to 2% of our GDP. Officially, China is currently at about 1.5%, but estimates put it higher. And that doesn’t give us the second largest military in the world.

                                        You’re also ignoring how Canada has specifically not turned to the US for the latest NORAD spending. So how are we subjugating ourselves to them?
