      Honestly, I’m still confused by everyone thinking he would invade. If you look at what Trump does and ignore what he says, it’s pretty clear we are still military allies.

        Trump doesn’t do much. He’d have to have actual knowledge to operate those levers. He makes demands, and the ones he makes a lot get carried out by other officials out of self-preservation.

        Greenland is one of those repeated and clear demands. Canada is up in the air… for now.

      Non-voters and the usual 3rd who would’ve sold us out to Trump.

      Does anyone seriously think the cons will never win an election here again before our latest nazi trend burns out?

      Edit: ah i see, heads buried in sand.

        Trump doing things is actually what gives me hope. If the trade war hadn’t happened we’d be following the US trajectory exactly, and PP would currently be PM. As it is, Doug Ford is kind of repeating what Churchill did way back when, starting fascist-aligned and then moving off, and might be the next Conservative to actually win.

          Hey that’s refreshingly optimistic in a realistic way for once, can’t knock that view.

          My concern is less about the figurehead of the Conservatives vs the undeniable rot of the party behind the scenes. Living in Alberta has admittably darkened my views to a massive degree.

        The same portion of the US public that allowed him to get elected in the first place. And to get re-elected.
