Late to this. When I saw it last week I just dismissed it as random slop from some juvenile MAGA account.
I just learned that the President of the United States himself posted this image of a map with Canada as part of the USA. He did so *before* PM Carney spoke at Davos.
Our sovereignty is not a joke. Those who went before us overcame huge adversity to build Canada as a proud, distinctive, albeit improbable country. A country that, despite its real flaws, is regarded as a beacon of opportunity & ordered liberty around the world.
I cannot understand the attitude of some Canadians - especially some of my fellow Conservatives - who are indifferent to this constant mockery and belittlement by the head of state of what used to be our closest ally.
In any normal time, this👇alone would be a major diplomatic incident that would result in démarching the US Ambassador, possibly recalling our own Ambassador for consultations, international and congressional condemnation, etc..
But Trump has dumbed down deviancy so much that another threat to annex a free & sovereign neighbour goes almost unnoticed.
And yet we have quislings here who blame Canada for having provoked this unhinged behaviour. Who cannot understand why Canadians are anxious and insulted. Who dismiss as a distraction Trump’s threat to “use economic force” to annex Canada; or his actual use of such force to disrupt our economy; or to insult the honour of our fallen soldiers.
No, this is not the “art of the deal.”
No, it’s not “just a joke.”
No, it’s not “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to be disgusted by constant threats toward and denigration of our country.
To the blame Canada crowd: have some respect. If not for yourself, then for those who built this country, and those who died for it.
🚨 NYU Professor Scott Galloway Calls For an ‘Economic Strike’ on the U.S. Economy to Stop ICE
“I'm talking about something … unsettling to the system, and that is an economic strike … Think about what you could do here … You would take GDP negative almost overnight.”
This is getting out of control. All signs towards a civil war. Trump must reform ICE role asap. First off, all ICE officers must take their masks off. And act in plain sight. Be held accountable. Be prosecuted if/when they kill.
What the mainstream media is not showing you: A massive crowd of 100,000 Minnesotans showed up in Minneapolis to protest the pedophile führer and his Nazi ICE Gestapo. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
Speaking at Davos and without ever mentioning the name of America's pedophile führer, Canada's PM Mark Carney, with one of the most powerful pro-democracy, anti-authoritarian fascism speeches you'll ever hear. If you're a Canadian, you should be brimming with pride. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
