Are people really buying into this 51st state nonsense? It’s never going to happen. Orange man is a legit professional shit talker. Damn near everything he states shouldn’t be taken seriously. I’ve easily learned to ignore his words and simply focus on his actions.
Unfortunately, you really can’t afford to ignore his words, because sometimes they do lead to actions. Hell, people ignoring his words is how he got re-elected in the first place.
The annexation stuff might be nonsense, but nevertheless, previous US administrations always treated Canada as a partner. Trump treats them like an enemy, despite them having done absolutely nothing wrong. So I fully understand the Canadian people, why would they continue to give money to companies in a fascist dictatorship? The US under Trump are not much better than Russia, China, Iran, Israel, North Korea, etc.
Either way, if it’s an opportunity to even slightly impoverish shitty Americans I’m rock hard on board with it.
The real win IMO would be for a collective Canadian identity to emerge from this so we can stop aping shitty, fake, trite, tasteless American bullshit.

That’s exactly what people said about a certain austrian during the 1920/1930s, regarding his speeches.
As the events leading to WW2 has teached us, words turn into actions frighteningly fast.

Everyone was doubting that Russia would invade Ukraine right until it happened.
When an idiot is in charge, prepare for idiocy.
I don’t really know who was doubting it, they had already invaded a couple years prior, it’s not wonder they wanted to finish the job
