Donald Trump is not joking about making Canada the 51st state, Justin Trudeau warns in hot mic comments

Why not? Denying 41 million a right to vote is a minor crime compared to forcefully conquering a peaceful neighbor that had been your closest neighbor. You're talking about a conflict that would easily kill 10% of the Canadian population, and likely level every major Canadian city, by the time the resistance efforts were finally stomped out.

He's saying they would make a 51st state eventually. The US's client state, Israel, denies the right to vote to nearly half of the population of the areas it controls. And we're their greatest ally. Why can't we deny the right to vote to 10% of the people in the territory we control? (Canada's population would represent about 10% of the combined US-Canadian territory's population.) Hell, we already disenfranchise millions due to felonies. And we disenfranchise millions through voter purges. And it was only in the 1960s that we stopped outright legally disenfranchising people due to skin color. You're seriously trying to argue that a fascist government would have moral qualms about disenfranchising large numbers of people!

The US could quite easily even go far as to say, "all Canadian citizens in the occupied territories are resident aliens and will not have the right to citizenship. Their kids will have citizenship, but no one who has ever held Canadian citizenship will get US voting rights." Every Canadian currently alive simply never gets to vote.

This is entirely possible. A right wing authoritarian government is not stupid. They're not going to immediately grant voting rights to people that will immediately vote them out of office. The only way they would do that is if they were confident that elections were so utterly corrupted that giving Canadian's American citizenship wouldn't change the outcome.

OK, I just looked up the top speed and divided by the distance, but there may be logistics issues that make that impossible. But really, 2 weeks or an afternoon? It makes little difference.

Hmm... I'm actually not sure if the government could do this without passing a bill. If they have to pass a bill, you bet there will be public discussion during the debate period, and probably before as well.

Fascists have to have an Enemy within....AND an enemy without.

Let's go Canada!

Guyana is not a colony, it's an overseas department, part of France as the Normandie or whatever, just happens to be across the pacific. They quite recently voted against more autonomy.

I feel it would kinda be a :

wink wink nudge nudge

Holy shit! 3 UK and 2 French nukes just appeared in our arsenal! Would you look at that!! They even have the keys and everything!! Guess we didn't even know we had them this entire time! What were you saying now, you orange colored sack of shit?

The less of a joke it is, the more of a joke he is

Everywhere snipers are a thing, the best ones are always the ones that grew up hunting. There's a lot of really wild areas with really big game in Canada, it makes sense that some people are going to be very good with a rifle and scope.

This quite a historic geopolitical paradigm shift. It's been implicitly assumed that the two countries are forever allied out of mutual interest.

Could this really happen?

No. Just like most of his agenda so far, he's dead serious and wants to do it, but he keeps finding out he's far too inept to pull it off.

Hitler was evil AF, but he was also smart and charismatic, and he knew how to fill a government with supervillains.

Maximum effort, trump might start amassing some military on the border. When that happens watch the other news for shit they're trying to sneak by.

I'm an outsider.

Do you think the military will comply with an order to invade Canada? Usually the higher ups are pretty sane people (in the West).

I hope you're right. I fear you're not.

I would kill and die in a war with Americans if they tried to force us into becoming Americans. I would rather die and take as many of you with me as possible than become an american

Trump is trying to speedrun the destruction of the US

Even if the higher ups somehow agree (which would be insane), the actual troops are the ground are 50% POC or minorities. I can't imagine them going through this hatred by the whitehouse and still continuing to follow orders. There will be a break in chain of command at some point.

Also peep the military subreddit on Reddit they are talking about breaking chain a lot, whether they will it's still to be tested but it's definitely indication of where things lie.

Member when this was just a south park joke?

I mean Trump has literally forced both Canada and Mexico to move a standing army in the thousands to the borders now, so I see he is not wasting time with this casus belli.

[email protected]

Okay not to downplay the fucked up reality of this situation, but does it bother anyone else that the Orange Idiot thinks Canada should be just one State? And one hostile to him and his party at that, out of spite if nothing else.

How would that even work. It's an an entire country made up of provinces. We have our own provincial governments. Canada is fucking huge. How would they enter? The border spans the whole width of the continent. Do they even have a big enough military to even do that?

None of this even makes sense, it sounds like the biggest dumbest joke any president has ever came up with, besides building a wall along the opposite border, which may have started but never even finished, or turned out way too expensice to be realistic or something like that, what ever the fuck happened.
