Summary
Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.
Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.
Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.
The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.
God, I would feel so happy and safe if my neighbor joked about subjugating me under his rule. Especially when they’re 8x my population and have 26x the military budget.
Americans would be better off under Canadian rule.
I’m not for imperialism, but at this point, can we just hand the US back to the UK.
Like, they tried this whole independence thing, it clearly did not work.
(obvious /s on the UK part)
Obviously. The US belong to France.
Sounds like a threat to me. US should do a preliminary strike before Canada tries anything.
We (NATO countries) would have your back but damn is this a bleak thought, I do not like imagining this situation unfolding at all.
Long-shot 2025-2029 bingo card square: Canada joins the CSTO, USA rolls over the border, Russians rush in, WWIII and nuclear armageddon with a delicious maple flavor. I’d read that book, anyway, but hope it’s fiction rather than history in a decade or so.
I put USA joins CSTO on my bingo card square - I see a special bond between Russia and USA, Trump have a crush on Putin.
