“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution:
No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.
Trying to remove any and all trade barriers in order to prevent trade.
If he lands in Canada I hope someone kills him.
Yes thank you for reminding everybody who knows the truth that you’re an actual jackass. Everyone else is deluding themselves, it’s driving us crazy.
The irony is that America is more likely to split up into at least two and probably more countries before any territory a added to the existing boundaries. I give America les than three decades before it splits up.
Blessed day, Commander
President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state
It seriously ticks me off how news organizations are referring to trumps actions.
It’s always cutesy, nice, polite.
Trump doesn’t want to “add” Canada, he wants to annex it, invade if necessary. This is a hostile dictator talking about destroying our country and I think we should choose words that describe a little better what the fucker is trying to do
I agree that, generously stated, “reporting neutrality” is completely bogus these days. Everything is so nonchalant.
Neutrality favors the oppressor
Hyperbole favours the unintelligent.
Nice try
For it to be a try it would need to be false.
We should but this is a US outlet so… They can’t be biting the hand that feeds.
That’s what a free media is supposed to do!
Even annex is too soft
I’ve used the word “conquer” for this, but even then that makes it feel kind of like a board game.
Yes, please continue to unite Canadians against the conservatives before the election
I really hope that’s what this is doing, but honestly I can’t tell at this point. Some people are so disconnected from reality they either don’t see this news, don’t care, or maybe even like it. I have a coworker that called Trump’s clown parade of a government “strong” and just yesterday commented on the voter turnout that “I guess people are really fed up with the liberals”.
A lot of conservatives i know think trump is right and that Canada is being subsidized by the US. One has even started to claim he will move to the first province that joins the US
So… by joining the us… they think that will stop subsidizing the US? Have they not seen what california already does for half of the country?
I didn’t know I had this many walking amongst me. Of the ones I’ve spoken with they seem to share these values:
They seem to hate that Ontario is forcing “gays” on kids at such a young age. I’m assuming my friend meant teaching about accepting people from different backgrounds, as I don’t think sex education applied to the age range he was referring.
They think they’re being taxed too highly (that’s fine).
They think US Healthcare woes are exaggerated. One said that you don’t really pay that fee, it’s a different fee and it’s not that much. Another said: I don’t go to the hospital that often.
They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they’ll have.
(I will reiterate that these are just the ones that I’ve spoken with) I’m just wondering why they don’t just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration …

Not only do working-class Canadians pay less in taxes overall, compared to working-class Americans, but we also pay less on our taxes for our healthcare, and don’t have to pay a single cent on top of that for essential healthcare.
Where it does flip is with the “middle class”, on the upper end of the working class. They do pay more in taxes in Canada, but you’d have to be earning in the top-20% of all adults or families to see that happen. For the average Canadian adult or family, they pay less than their American counterparts.
No we do pay that much. My job apparently pays $9000 a year for me to have health insurance, and I still have to pay $170 a month for it. Plus deductibles, co-pays, and other bullshit.
Anyways, how much are yall even taxed that’s “too much”?
I’m just wondering why they don’t just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration …
I get it, immigration takes time and some of them may not have the skills or the means to do it, or to do it quickly…HOWEVER, in the meantime, if they have no allegiance to this country, they should show some dignity by refraining from voting and refraining from doing everything they can to screw up the country for the people who actually DO care about it.
I have always found it hugely ironic that these guys are supporting a US administration that will only make it harder for them to immigrate to the US.
We don’t need anything from the Untied States. I encourage everyone to continue to avoid buying products made in the USA.
Canadians would teach the United States the meaning of insurgency.
Given how impotent the US was in the face of resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan, how would they be able to cope with an insurgency where all the enemy combatants can blend in and walk among them?
American: “Hello there!”
Other “American”: “Hi! How are you?”
American: “Great, and yourself?”
Other “American”: “Good! Great weather we’re having, eh?”
American: “What?”
Other “American”: “What?”
American: *eyes the other “American” suspiciously*
Other “American”: “Aw shit, my cover is blown.” *Stabs American*
If it come to blows all Canadians are going to need to forget their EhBC’s.

And, best of all, walk among them in the continental United States. A vast, sprawling country of crumbling infrastructure just waiting for a saboteur’s gentle nudge, awash in easily-accessible guns, and demonstrably populated by sheep who can be panicked into decades of self-destruction by a couple of buildings getting knocked down. Who haven’t experienced war anywhere except as entertainment on their TV screens in centuries.
Here’s hoping that even Trump’s idiocy has a limit before it comes to that.
The Canadians would also find no shortage of Americans willing to help them, as well.
Exactly.
There’s a great scene in a movie with Joe Pesci and a baseball bat.
I fantasize about Trumps fascist face being on the receiving end.
The same way France was a province of Germany? #occupationBloodbath

He’s traveling outside the states for the pope’s funeral. I wish the Vatican would arrest him for crimes against humanity.
Shoot him more like
“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”
So he DOES need things from us. If he didn’t need us he’d just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn’t have something he wanted?
He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn’t like that we’re our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.
As an ABC voter, I’d like to thank Donnie for the help in during this crucial time of the election campaign. 🍁💪
ABC Vancouver?
Everything he says is a lie/confession.
Schrödinger’s Truth
Trump insists that Canada needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs it
Sounds like a bad ex-relationship
