Good fucking lord Poilievre needs to grow some balls. For all his tough talk yesterday, suddenly today (as of his Facebook feed from 30 minutes ago) he wants to bend over and be Trump's lap dog? What happens when Trump makes a new demand next month? And the month after that? When/if he becomes PM, when will he draw the line, when there's an invasion force in Ottawa? Does he need to be reminded that the free trade agreement Trump is violating today is the one he strong armed Canada into signing to replace NAFTA yesterday? It's never going to end. Canada needs to strengthen and arm itself (preferably with nuclear weapons, if there is to be any real deterrent to an invasion), not bend over and take it.
I have decided that emigration is probably in my best interest. As I look at the chess board, the border discussion, deportations, Gitmo, directives to detain "illegals" in local prisons, attempts to eliminate birthright citizenship, lack of any real funding to deport everyone, and so on, the intent has become painfully obvious: this is all a pretense to strip generations of citizens of Mexican or other Latinx descent of our citizenship, seize and sell our property to white people, and send us to slave labour camps to ensure that the produce gets picked and the machines keep humming while reducing the costs for white America. This is how they "solve" the inflation problem and the housing problem. Trump's comment about the 14th amendment being for the slaves wasn't just a stupid comment, it was carefully chosen to sow division between minorities and create a hierarchy. If this is a repeat of 1935 Germany, then we're not in the group of people that needs to consider how we will resist and aid the Jews, we are the Jews.

4162yeah, i don't know why Canada didn't just pay lip service except that I forget that Canadians like fighting and the public supported going to trade, warAdamN wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 11:04 amTo Trump supporters, sure. But for anyone with a brain, Mexico sent 10,000 troops to the border in 2021 at the behest of Biden. Putting 10,000 troops at the border will not do much to stop fentanyl coming into the US. Almost all of it comes in via legal ports of entry. Sheinbaum knows it, people in Trump’s administration know it, Trump doesn’t know or care. This is just the kind of optics-only bullshit that Trump and his supporters care about. After a few months she’ll just quietly shift them elsewhere and nobody will notice or care. She’s playing the game.Gramsci wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 10:38 am The worst thing about the pause of tariffs against Mexico is it makes Trump look tough and acting in US interests. In the context of the Dems, it makes them seem even more weak and ineffectual than they already are.

Canada will likely have a nuclear weapon by election time, and I'm not joking about that part. Or the pants.

Every joke I made in this thread has fallen flat three different ways. (Like duh, who wants to go to jail? “But I’m a target!” All the more reason not to self destruct.).

PS- I normally let sleeping dogs lie but Oliver did say this might bring him back and that would be worth it to me.
PPS- I can handle being labeled a republican or clocker bob but please don’t compare me to a 12 string bass player.
PPPS- Half the people who bragged about blocking me don’t even contribute to this thread, which makes me wonder what we are even doing here. Does anyone really care or are they just scared?
