  • Maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, yeah, but we’re living in really dramatic times.

    we’re never annexing Canada or your minerals

    I mean, a lot of people didn’t expect Trump to tear down the American government within months of getting into power either. With Trump stating that he wants to annex Canada “through economic means” and then immediately attacking us with ridiculous tariffs, it seems like he’s following through on that. I don’t think he’ll hurt us as bad economically as he’s hoping though, so I don’t think him declaring actual war on us out of the picture. It honestly seems like he’s already trying to warm his base up to the idea with us being “a national security threat” and “overrun by cartels”.

    Idk, just try to picture the POTUS repeatedly saying he’s going to annex your home for months on end, and then try not to get a little bit on edge.

    Edit:

    America having a civil war [will] make your life as a Canadian objectively worse

    Yeah I admit you’re most definitely right about this. It really wouldn’t be a good time
















  • Not really directed at you specifically, it’s just that it seems like the top response to Trump doing anything is that it’s just a distraction. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it is about it that bugs me, but I think it just comes across as dismissive

    Edit: I think it bothers me the most when it’s something in relation to a country other than the USA. Like fine, write off the stuff that only affects the US, but to hear things just shrugged off as “it’s only a distraction” from a citizen of the country where said things are really screwing us over is just irritating.

    It’s like if someone just threw a handful of shit at you and someone else says “oh yeah that’s just a distraction 🤷”
