Wait, you have a seriuos candidate that wants to surrender to the US?
Well Poilievre, who’s party lost tonight, has been extremely limp-wristed in his opposition to Trump’s threats, but he hasn’t outright said he’d surrender, just implied it with his weak rhetoric. More likely to me is that Trump in his dementia ridden mind was literally calling for people to vote for him. Like somehow enough Canadians would write Trump on their ballots that it would “win” the election for him, which demonstrates such a fundamental lack of understanding about our electoral system that I don’t even know where to begin.
Man, the dumbest thing about this nonsense is repeating that Canada will only be one state. It’s already broken into provinces, dickhead, at least make a better offer than two senators.
#1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania
#9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming
#10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories
20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person
200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person
It seems pretty fair
I’d love to have the Canadian conservatives in the USA. It would hopefully calm down the magat zombies we have in office.
This is the distraction you’re meant to be paying attention to- watch his other hand, that’s where the damage is going to come from.
He doesn’t need distractions anymore. He can do as he please, and he knows it. This is just him enjoying himself.
He knows he’s not getting Canada. This is part of his Flood the Zone nonsense. Don’t fall for it.
FYI, this is unpopular among Canadian voters. Conservative underdog, tries to deny being a lapdog, or supporting the idea, but this unfiltered BS doesn’t help him. It’s just a sign that Trump is completely out of control surrounded only by people who must restrain themselves on pushback to only far stupider things he might say.
Hypothetically, if canada becomes a state, would they flip our house of representatives blue? I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.

This is what you need to keep foremost in your mind. There is no conceivable reality in which the US conquers (yes conquers, they can call it annexation all they want but at the end of the day Trump wants a conquest to his name) Canada and gives any semblance of voting or personal rights to Canadians. Hell, even if Canada was somehow persuaded into voluntarily joining the US, this regime would never, ever honour any kind of arrangement that gave Canadians a fair deal. They are fascist bullies, as close to actual evil as we’ve seen in North America in a very long time, and they have no interest in any sort of fair bargain.
Population wise it’s like adding another California
But I thought we were pretending to care about states, not individual voters.
Is he that dumb or does he just want the other guy to win? I’m pretty sure even he knows that this bullshit is why the other guy now has a chance.
The guy is ranting about a criminal investigation into why his polling numbers are so low. He’s quite literally a demented old man. I think he really isn’t rational enough to see that that he is harming the man he wants to win.
Will. Never. Happen.
Canadians will literally die before living for a milisecond as Americans.
And - this is a declaration of war by the US president. Cause it would take a military invasion to violently turn Canadians into Americans.
It has long been the case, that if you confuse a Canadian for an American they are offended, but if you confuse an American for a Canadian they don’t mind.
Is my English grammar lacking or is there something wrong with the “if” in the first sentence? Shouldn’t that be a “by” ("by Canada becoming […] )?
Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”
Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.
I like how he wants Canada as one state. Keeping the Provinces split would push the Senate to the left for quite some time.
Only if you assume elections will keep happening.
They likely will, in a similar fashion to how NK , or russia, or China does it
Elections so clean the result will be known before they start.
I would not ordinarily recommend Hitler’s tactics and strategies as a general rule, but he sure knew how to solve the Hitler problem, at the very end. Donny, maybe look into that.
I encourage Canadian conservative voters to write in Trump’s name on their ballot
LOL some smooth brains no doubt will. Will be counted as spoiled ballots.
This fucking moron is INSANE
He sounds exactly how Kanye would ramble and its fucking scary <~<;
