Angus: Our PM went to Washington to meet with Trump—in what looked like a cheesy bordello decked out in gold lamé. When Trump was asked about Canada giving up its sovereignty, he said, “Never say never.” Every Canadian knew exactly what that meant. For a sexual predator, no means no means nothing.

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

President Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the US and minimal impact here in Canada, while supporting the workers impacted. (1/2)

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies. We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war. A war THEY lost. We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice. J. D. can go lie on his couch. Canada is #elbowsup

🇺🇸Tesla has an extremely high P/E ratio because it’s supposedly “not just a car company.” Their P/E stands around 130, while Ford’s is about 6.7. If Tesla were valued similarly to other car companies, its stock price would be approximately $14. Today, it dropped to $220. SELL before it’s too late.

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

🇺🇸 CNN poll shows just 8% of Americans view Russia positively—on par with those who think the moon landing was fake. 61% see Russia as an enemy, and only 4% as a partner. Only 9% like Putin, with the same percentage believing the Earth is flat. 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.

BC Premier Eby: "As British Columbians and as Canadians we'll stand strong and united in the face of this unprecedented attack. This is not a fight we started but we will respond firmly and forcefully." BC will expedite new natural resources projects, and diversify trade with Asia. #cdnpoli

American politics is like the nazis are back yes but at least everything is getting more expensive. We must compromise in order to make things worse.

The “mainstream media” is: Fox News, by far the largest news network by viewers Joe Rogan, by far the largest podcast by listeners Meta and Twitter, the largest social media networks for news Why let these people portray themselves as some punk rock movement? Mainstream as fuck

Literally your parent and grandparents news. Elon and Zuck should be treated as king of the boomers, not some fucking renegades

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive. Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

All other stupidity aside, why would Canada be a single state? We’re the second largest country in the world by land mass, and at over 41M people, we would be easily the largest state by population

Trump says he plans to use "economic force" to make Canada a state

Elon throttling criticism on X right before his side takes power must be coincidence right? X is state media at this point, who tf is still sticking around to watch right wingers try to be fun and positive?
