“I’ve talked to so many governors and congresspeople and senators and never once did they say Canada is the problem,” Ford told CNN. He emphasized that a bilateral deal between Canada and the U.S. would be a better solution than imposing tariffs on Canadian goods.
I’m no fan of Doug Ford, but he’s right here. I guess Trump’s plan is to drive Canada into the ground economically through tariffs then invade or otherwise annex Canada when it’s too poor and desperate to resist. But why? It would be more profitable to both the USA and Canada simply not to do any of this. There are only two explanations I can think of:
- Belligerence is the only thing Trump understands, even when it works to his own disadvantage, because actual diplomacy is too complicated for him and soft power contains the word “soft”, and/or
- Trump isn’t working for the interests of the USA, but rather for those who want to see NATO and other Western alliances destroyed.
I’m not super well-versed in Canadian politics, but isn’t Doug Ford basically a mini-Trump?
Lamesauce, the correct response to anything Trump says is …
North Carolina plox
new england is right there canada like we’d volunteer happily.
Yes, please buy Texas and Florida
I mean would you rather join Canada or stay in the United States. Because if Texas gets to join Canada, I’m moving to Texas.
How much control does Canada have over the provinces? Cause I’m not interested in slightly-Canadian Texas, they gotta go further than that.
Watch out about offering to buy something. Sometimes they force you to go through with it.
Ask Elon.
Or they add a lot more to the deal. New Orleans wasn’t worth the rest of it.
That worked out for him.
He ended up owning the whole fucking country.
Lets do it! That means I’d be able to road trip to the west coast with only 1 border crossing.
Convicted felons aren’t allowed to enter the country.
Trump couldn’t try before he buys.
Please take Wisconsin. Too many idiot rednecks that vote against their own interests and a broken ass government here
Nah, give them the Dakotas. Wisconsin at least has nice scenery.
Hit’em with the ol counteroffer.
How about if we buy Alaska and throw in Minnesota and Minneapolis at the same time?
Joke’s on them—Minneapolis is in Minnesota, so they’d only be getting two regions instead of three. Sell them quick before they catch on!
You’d be crazy to take Minnesota.
Everyone knows from the documentary film and series Fargo, that it’s filled with deranged, violent criminals!
it’s filled with deranged, violent criminals
For Doug Ford, that’s a bonus.
Doug Ford has room temperature IQ, don’t judge him too harshly (ya know what, fuck that. Judge him even harsher)
Doug Ford has room temperature IQ
In Celsius.
As a Minnesotan I approve this message. Sell us quick!
Please take Texas.
Take everything else. Leave Texas and Florida.
Just let them set up their republic again and use them as a buffer zone to Mexican illegal immigration. Two problems at once. I suggest building a wall.
The cartels will do that first.
I’m here to see big oil vs the cartels.
As a Minnesotan I’m okay with this.
I don’t think Canadians would have a problem with taking on Minnesota.
I came here to say this. I’m not entirely sure I would object all that much.
If y’all do a referendum, maybe they dont even have to buy it?
Sadly it’s completely illegal to separate from the US and most likely will result in the US military invading.
Except ofcourse if Trump sells it.
The comments here…
Exactly what Putin wants. Divide and conquer
You sure are trying to bring everyone together; what, by labeling them ‘tankies’ and ‘Russian bots’.
Maybe it’s you who is doing “exactly what Putin wants”.
Divide and conquer; you’ve got the divide part down.
I’m not labeling anyone I’m saying he’s probs loving folks talking about splitting. Which I absolutely denounce
