In a Fox News interview posted to his personal X account on Wednesday, O’Leary appeared to vouch for Canadians, suggesting that citizens are interested in joining forces with its southern neighbours.
“I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are interested,” O’Leary said.
“The 41 million Canadians, I think most of them would trust me on this deal.”
Someone please, make this idiot STFU.
Kevin O’Leary is now a traitor to the country.
I would consider helping “negotiate” a US takeover of Canada to be an act of war against Canada or a preparatory act.
Criminal Code section 46:
46 (1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,
(a) kills or attempts to kill Her Majesty, or does her any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maims or wounds her, or imprisons or restrains her;
(b) levies war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto; or
© assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.
Alternate headline: “Canadians are offended by Kevin O’Leary”.
Just in general.
Kevin O’Leary has always been a fuck. I have no idea why anybody gives him any bit of respect ever.
Because he’s on tv
I wonder how many people from the States would prefer that the US become a Canadian province.
Only the Blues States should be annexed by Canada. The red states can wallow in the shitholes they created.
If only just for the free healthcare and federally legal cannabis you’d have my vote.
don’t forget the metric system and maple syrup discounts
If all Americans thought like this, I might support a union too. Unfortunately, you’re outnumbered.
I’ve seen some Canadian hicks. no thanks.
this whole “thing” screams loudly like a red herring and is only meant to distract from the failures of the incoming administration.
O’Leary is a pompous sack of shit that’s only preparing the runway for his golden cash cow, Trump.
Kevin O’Leary needs to meet Luigi.
Funny thing is he is such small potatoes it’s ridiculous. That’s like trying to summon Luigi to kill you McDonald’s team lead. Like yeah he’s an asshole and in a position of power so you have to hear him yammering, and yeah would be nice, but it’s almost a waste.
This is the Canadian “we have CEO’s at home.” Meme. Except I don’t recall of he is even a CEO of anything right now…
He should say hello to Musk first.
Making numbers up to make the proposal seem much more popular than it really is, first he says its 50% support then he changes it to 80%, when in reality its only 13%.
And the rest of Canadians who aren’t morons would vote against republicans in every election if we got annexed.
doesn’t matter, we’ve less population than california.
It’s the thought that counts. You don’t try and add a country that votes against you unless you’re a complete fucking moron (looks at Trump - Oh, he is).
And no one in Canada ever votes Conservative. You’re gonna be pretty sad sometime this year.
Only the fucking stupid ones.
(Looks at the last ten years) Kay bud. sure. Vote for that morons party again, we can have 5 million more hindus by 2026.
Found the uneducated racist. Thanks. Added to my block list.
The Red Coats should return to the USA and press reset.
Unfortunately, we are currently trying to beat the gammons back down with a stick. We had 4 years with an idiotic government, making extremely self-serving decisions. We feel for what you’re going through, but we aren’t in a good place to help.
Out of context as far as I know, what he said in it’s entirety was more wanting an EU style arrangement
I need about 50 Luigi’s, right now.
Idk…seems like at least 500 would be needed to get us where we’re going…
Edit: And so began the clone wars…
It’s never too early to start collaborating with the occupiers, I guess.
Like, it’s still mostly hypothetical and this guy is putting his hand up to be a Quisling.
This whole plan is to get territories that Putin wants
This whole crap is just hot air. Dangerous rhetoric of course but it’s all just distraction. We have way more important things to worry about.
Interesting to see the wannabe traitors and willing quislings reveal themselves though.
Kevin O’Leary is a traitor who would sell out his own country to invading fascists for money. These people were called collaborators in the past, and rightly scorned.
Don’t fall for MAGA ragebaiting. This was never seriously discussed and posts like this are just feeding the trolls.
Making Canada the 51st state would make it the largest continental one, usurping Texas. While I wouldn’t support the idea seriously, triggering maga Texans with the idea is hilarious.
Even today amongst a certain segment of Americans they still revere the concept of “Manifest Destiny”, whereby the entirety of North America will eventually be under American (and traditionally, white Christian) rule.
This wasn’t always envisioned as being done via force; typically it was simply believed that the American system was so perfect and blessed by God that everyone in North America would eventually want to be part of it, and would simply join the US as an inevitable eventuality. To their minds, the entire concept of full American control of North America was ordained by God itself, and so couldn’t be wrong.
Of course, as with any pseudo-religious prophesies when the expectation doesn’t happen some will want to cause/force it to happen. When their Manifest Destiny doesn’t come to fruition, it’s not because of a fault in the concept (to their minds), but that the Canadians/Mexicans (and now Greenlanders?) are standing in the way of inevitability.
There are Americans who continue to believe they’ll eventually control all of North America. You can’t just ignore them and pretend they don’t exist.
I’m glad there are still people who remember that the American belief in manifest destiny, and general American exceptionalism has been around for decades.
And they’ve been slowly and steadily moving on that though commerce, through our increasing branch plant economy and through overwhelming cultural exports since before WW2.
You can’t just ignore them and pretend they don’t exist.
That doesn’t seem what gp is suggesting, though
This is just goading and manipulation to get better leverage on those tariffs, which is real. I don’t know the scam he’s aiming for here. It just feels like everyone is going to suffer an inflationary war.
