Trump's Threat to Make Canada the 51st. State.

[TLS Guy]

Shure hope he will stand up to him with real backbone.

The only issue I see is the lies Trump will tell everyone afterwards. With nothing published, who will know the truth.

Everyone knows Trump lies as soon as his lips move.

Most of what you wrote in those lists was before 2014, the last is from 2018- I'm not going to remember everyone and every post.

Why not?

Everyone knows Trump lies as soon as his lips move.

Unfortunately, his followers will believe him as will his supportive news media or at least they will write to please him.

Just said goodbye yesterday to some of our dear Canadian friends as they headed back home to Ottawa. We assured them that not all Americans are 'Trumpers' ! The exchange rate makes it quite expensive for them down here, fewest number I've seen in Florida in years

Not just the exchange rate.... lots of Canadians have cancelled US Visits, in fact tourists/visitors from all over the world are cancelling their US vacations and rebooking elsewhere....
The Trumpian crazies in customs/immigration are causing well documented issues even with people intending merely to pass through....

In the past I used "round the world" airfares to travel to Europe via the USA (from / to Australia) - but if I was to do that today, I would look at something that goes via Canada or South America!

I remember everyone, but I’m awesome like that

Not like we’re total strangers given how much you post on AH.

Reading isn't necessarily what happens when you post a lot. Then there's comprehension. Forget about retention.

But f^%& it, just ban him ... tough guy.

There may have been a temp ban to help instill a more constructive attitude

your last name Trump ?

 

[Steve81]

your last name Trump ?

Nah, but I do have a fairly good memory when it comes to the friends I’ve made. Truth be told, I wish politics had remained banned here; wasn’t my call though.

Fair enough, but it would be wise to pay attention to whom you speak. My custom rank is a dead giveaway

What custom rank?

Someone did, briefly.

Ah, I posted this in the Trade Wars thread. Maybe I should have posted it here instead.

The more I think about this video, the more I think that Canada could be the saviour of the U.S. We might have Conservative and Liberal parties, but even the Conservative party is considerably left of the Republican party. We are a socialist country after all. You may find some hard right supporters in Alberta and in rural areas, but many Conservatives, in my view, lean more towards the Democratic party. Trump might be envious of the economic engine that is Southwestern Ontario, but the Greater Toronto Area has a large number of immigrants and they would never vote Republican.

If you divide the largest (geographically) provinces, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario & Quebec, in half, you end up with 19 states added to the union. You'd be lucky to have more than 3 vote Republican. Even under the electoral college system, it's possible that the GoP could never see a majority again. If you think the Dems had a woke agenda, you ain't seen nothin' until you add 40 million socialists to the mix!

All it would take is offer $1,000,000 to each and every Canadian. For the measly sum of $40 trillion dollars we can join up and then take over. You can make the cheque out to me personally, thank you.

First of all I would like to point out to readers, that King Charles III is King of all England and Dominions beyond the Seas. So King Charles is King of Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Mark Carney is currently in France and will have an audience with King Charles tomorrow.

I think the reason that King Charles has invited Trump for a second state visit, is to get him in a room alone and "read him the Riot Act".

This meeting will be behind closed doors, and what will be said will be confidential. Only the King will make the record, and it will not be published for a hundred years at least.

One or two of the King's Guard will be stationed outside the room. So Trump will have no escape. The Guard will certainly have a variety of Claive in their hands.

That is known as "showing the cold steel'. As the old British Tommy's used to say: - "They don't like it up em!"

So if Trump were ever stupid enough to try a military incursion into Canada, he would be facing troops from the Dominions and likely Nepalese Gurkhas as well. They have trouble staying out of fights like that.

While I believe His Majesty has our backs, I don't think the UK government is of the same mindset. The King may have extended the invitation to Trump, but it certainly wouldn't have been his idea. This is at Starmer's behest. He is willing to sacrifice Commonwealth solidarity by kowtowing to Trump, throwing HM under the bus as a consequence.

If Trump wants to add new states he can two new ones: Washington DC and Puerto Rico.
