Canadians will fight for our freedom!
We'll show up at the border riding moose and carrying bayonets! Then we'll catapult a few speedo-wearing Quebecers into Vermont just to keep the Yanks honest!

Doug Ford's response about buying Alaska and a few states was funny.

Trudeau started killing Canada, now Trump trying to finish job

Donald Trump is now merely threatening to finish the job of destroying Canada that Justin Trudeau started in 2015.
Long before the incoming U.S. president threatened to use “economic force” to annex Canada as the “51st state,” Trudeau oversaw the cancellation of Canada’s history as we knew it.
You don’t have to look far to see what has disappeared.
Our first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, certainly was the main victim of an effort to banish the origins of Canada from the history books.
It’s popular these days to cancel historical figures when their views do not exactly mimic our own.

The woke warriors tried to apply modern politically correctness to leaders in the era of the horse and buggy and before the use of electricity was widespread. The first casualty of Canada’s history was removing Macdonald from the $10 bill.
They always demonized him — citing his issues with alcohol — but added a special kind of ridicule when they tied him to the residential school system for Indigenous children, which began more than 30 years before he was prime minister and ended more than 100 years after his death.
With Trudeau cheerleading, Macdonald’s name was removed from schools and his statue was not only torn down in Montreal and Victoria, but also from his hometown of Kingston. A statue of him remains boarded up outside of Queen’s Park, as well.
Macdonald’s Bellevue House in Kingston has become a museum to punch at his legacy and the anti-Canada crew didn’t stop there because they also cheered on the dismantling of the Queen Victoria statue in Winnipeg, the Egerton Ryerson statue in Toronto and the renaming of Ryerson University to Toronto Metropolitan University, while taxpayer’s money was used to scrub Henry Dundas’s name from Yonge-Dundas Square — now called Sankofa Square.
Canada has even seen a movement to try to make the treasured Anne of Green Gables more diverse and to drop the name pioneer from Black Creek Pioneer Village.
Hardly anybody lifted a finger to stop them. Most cowered as they worried about being labelled a racist.
Trump saw this and pounced on both the weakness and opportunity. But when he brought out a map on social media that showed an American flag covering all of Canada, he sent a message of disrespect and arrogance that would not be tolerated if done by Russia’s Vladimir Putin or China’s Xi Jinping — let alone by our nation’s so-called best friend.
Trudeau saying “there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States” was fine, but it was ironic that under this guy, no one knows exactly what Canada is anymore. With legal marijuana, massive debt financing, leaning on people to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a modern form of martial law to break up a lockdown protest, and Trudeau wearing blackface, Canada has become unrecognizable.
They changed the national anthem, suggested people say “peoplekind” instead of mankind, and did little to battle against Christian churches being burned while dropping everything to call out Islamophobia. The people who have been ruining Canada hate Canada and never tried to hide it.
“There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” Trudeau told the New York Times after his 2015 election. “There are shared values — openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other, to search for equality and justice. Those qualities are what make us the first post-national state.”
Trudeau actually said new Canadians are “more” Canadian than those born here. And while he was famous for saying a “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian” when it came to terrorists’ keeping their citizenship. If anyone spoke out against him, he would call them racist or misogynist and was more than happy to see statues of Canadiana come down faster than the value of the dollar.
The good news is if Trudeau does in fact leave office, Canadians can reclaim their land and pride. It starts by dropping the anti-Canada agenda and put those statues back up. Every last one of them, from Pte. Alexander Watson in St. Catharines, to Alexander Wood on Church St., to the Terry Fox statue they removed from across from Parliament Hill and hid it away on hardly used Sparks St. in Ottawa.
One of the most important statues to erect again is the one at Queen’s Park, where Premier Doug Ford can let it be known he wants Macdonald released from his tomb there and shown off to the world as Canada’s first prime minister. That way, he’d send a message to Trump that not only is Canada out of bounds, but that Canadians are taking their country back.
Instead of ending up as an American state, it would be a sweet form of irony if it ended up being Trump who got Canadians off their hands to save the glorious Canada that Trudeau helped destroy.

WARMINGTON: Trudeau started killing Canada, now Trump trying to finish job
Long before the incoming president threatened to annex Canada, Justin Trudeau oversaw the cancellation of Canada's history as was knew it.
Canadian firefighters head to help fight California wildfires as Ottawa, premiers pledge resources — The Globe and Mail
The united show of support, in which Canada is sending 250 firefighters, waterbombers and other equipment, is seen as highlighting strength of U.S.-Canada relations strained by threats of tariffs and annexation
Newsworthy but hardly new. Firefighters cross the border every day to offer mutual support and assistance.

This is super-simple. The U.S. and Canada are blessed with the best bordering-countries relationship ever, end of.
Unsurprising that Trump wants to fuck it up.
When BC was burning idiot king in Ottawa wouldnt allow American firefighters into Canada claiming covid. Isolated camp workers were too big of a risk.
Dislike. Hate is absolute. I don't give a shit what his heinous does after being kicked out of politics.
I could argue that Gollum didn't give a shit what Frodo did after Gollum got the Ring back. Mighta tortured him to death for funsies.
Popped up on my FB feed, and couldn't agree more.
"I’ll take Canadian kindness over American exceptionalism - thank you, Kenneth Newby "I’m probably the least likely person to write a column on national pride. I’ve never been a fan of excessive “look at us” flag-waving patriotism. Mostly because it often brings out the worst in people, routinely degenerating into self-centred exceptionalism.
But Donald Trump’s recent “joke” about making Canada the 51st U.S. state requires not so much a rebuttal, but a reminder. Frankly, I’d be indifferent to Trump’s latest inelegant and bullish political power move if certain prominent Canadians, like Kevin O’Leary, hadn’t been so willing to stroke his ego and consider the possibility. Even though most Canadians wouldn’t even entertain the idea. And why should they?
I like the U.S.; I even love parts of it. Some of the nicest and brightest people I know are American. But, with respect to our southern neighbours, I have no desire to emulate them or import their worst instincts.
The U.S. is a country where individualism not only reigns, but is routinely celebrated over the common good. Where the right to bear arms consistently and tragically supersedes children’s right to live. Where GoFundMe campaigns often substitute for humane, universal health care.
I much prefer a country built around the notion of a collective social contract — of safeguards ensuring the most vulnerable aren’t left behind.
Does Canada have a perfect system? Not remotely. It’s occasionally even shake-your-head terrible. But even at our worst, the premise and the promise we’re fashioned on is still better than the U.S. system. I have yet to meet a Canadian who had to remortgage their home to pay for cancer treatments, or had to teach their kids safety drills in anticipation of the next school shooting. We may share the longest unprotected border, but we’re not the same.
The U.S. represents itself with a sharp-taloned predatory eagle, emanating aggressive strength. One of our most prominent national symbols is an industrious dam-building herbivore rodent that slaps its tail when alarmed. That, and the maple leaf. A tree that yields syrup one pours on pancakes. The Great White North is a little more chill, is what I mean.
I like living in a country where Saskatchewan’s Tommy Douglas fought for universal, publicly funded health care and Quebec’s Pauline Marois implemented affordable, subsidized daycare. A country where paid parental leave extends up to 18 months. Where emergency surgery only sets you back in hospital parking fees. A country where a University of Toronto research team discovered insulin, one of the greatest medical achievements of the 20th century, and decided to sell the patent for $1 each, making it accessible to all. A country that doesn’t have the death penalty. Where women’s reproductive choices are rarely up for debate and certainly not curtailed by religion.
Like many countries, Canada is dealing with enormous challenges: homelessness, lack of affordability, health-care cuts, housing shortages, sliding living standards, questionable foreign policy decisions, political polarization.
But spare me the “Canada is broken” narratives. Much certainly needs fixing, but in a country that consistently ranks near the top of international lists for quality of life, safety and freedom, much is also working well.
And contrary to what some pundits have been saying, we certainly haven’t lost our national identity. Mainly because we’ve never really had one cohesive national narrative to begin with. It’s probably what I appreciate the most about Canada: how it manages to incorporate different — sometimes even diametrically opposed — elements and yet we mostly peacefully coexist.
Besides, is there anything more Canadian than Canadians bemoaning the lack of a national identity?
Long before this argument was used as a convenient political catchphrase, Marshall McLuhan argued that “Canada is the only country in the world that knows how to live without an identity.”
He said that in 1963. Over 60 years ago.
And here we still are. Knowing exactly what we prefer. And what we don’t.
So, thanks for the offer, Mr. Trump, but non merci. :

And I couldn’t disagree more . Canada makes no sense geographically or politically . Our vaunted health care system doesn’t break anyone to pay for treatment they just they just die on waiting lists .
About half of these people seem to have gone to the Trudeau school of international diplomacy.
Im glad you buy all this as serious.
Its just softening you to prepare for a common currency with US and Europe needed by USD and Euro to counter BRICS.
