Why does MAGA get so triggered by everything Canada does?
You’ve said you don’t want anything from us. You’ve said you don’t need us. You’ve said the same about Europe.
So why the outrage when Canada and Europe move closer together?
You should be thrilled. Less need for you.
Oh, MAGA says I should stop talking about Trump because I’m Canadian?
Maybe tell your president to stop talking about Canada.
Stop disrespecting Canadians, stop treating our country like it belongs to him, and stop with the 51st-state nonsense.
Until then, this Canadian will talk about Trump whenever the hell I want.
Canada isn’t yours, we don’t answer to MAGA, and we sure as hell don’t need your permission to speak.
Hope that clears things up. 🇨🇦
BREAKING: CNN's fact-checker exposes an AVALANCHE OF LIES from Trump about Canada — and there's a new one almost every day.
Donald Trump doesn't just have policy disagreements with Canada. According to CNN's chief fact-checker Daniel Dale, who happens to be Canadian himself, Trump has built his entire trade war narrative on a foundation of demonstrably false claims — and the lies keep coming.
Just today, Dale documented, Trump falsely claimed Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising." The actual number: 6.4%, and it's been DECLINING for three straight months. Trump also falsely claimed Canada does "95% of its business with the US." The real figure is 72%.
He blamed the entire US-Canada trade deficit on high Canadian agricultural tariffs, despite the fact that roughly 97% of US agricultural exports to Canada are already tariff-free, and the actual deficit stems overwhelmingly from cheap Canadian crude oil imports that benefit American consumers.
And that's just today's batch. Dale's running tally over the past 18 months reads like a highlight reel of fabrication.
Trump has falsely claimed Canada doesn't buy American agricultural products, when it's actually the world's SECOND-LARGEST buyer of them. He's falsely claimed Canadians support becoming America's 51st state, when polling shows overwhelming opposition.
He's falsely claimed Canada is among the world's highest-tariff nations, when World Trade Organization rankings place it near the bottom. He's falsely claimed Canada "essentially doesn't have a military," ignoring that Canadian forces have fought alongside American troops in multiple wars and rank in the upper half of NATO by force size.
He's also falsely inflated the US trade deficit with Canada to "$200 billion" (nowhere close), falsely claimed Canada bans American banks (more than a dozen currently operate there), falsely claimed Canada is "constantly surrounded" by Chinese and Russian ships (fiction), and falsely accused former PM Trudeau of using trade tensions to run for reelection — despite Trudeau, quite obviously, not running.
This isn't policy disagreement. This is a dispute over the nature of reality!
This is a sitting president manufacturing an entire economic conflict with one of America's closest allies using numbers he simply invented, over and over, across nearly two years, with virtually no correction or accountability.
When the facts don't support your trade war, apparently the solution is just to make up new facts. Someone needs to tell Trump that the world doesn’t work like that, and it may as well be CNN’s Daniel Dale.
Please like and share if you’re sick of Trump’s lies!
Dear Trump,
Your 50% tariffs went into effect today.
So, from Canada: Fuck your tariffs. Fuck your bullying. Fuck your threats. Fuck your tantrums. Fuck your bullshit.
You wanted to punish Canada. Instead, you united us. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Signed,
40 million Nasty Canadians 🇨🇦
A 24-year combat veteran just said what every professional soldier needs to hear.
Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda Airborne Sapper has the names of 13 of his brothers who never came home tattooed on his back.
His message to Trump and the generals:
“I’m speaking to you as a soldier. On my back I have the name of 13 of my brothers who did not return home from war.
They did not die for THIS.
I gave this country 24 years of service. I won’t sit silent while you aim the weapons of war inward on American soil, against our own citizens.
REMEMBER YOUR OATH.”
The oath is to the Constitution not to a man, not to a party.
This is the line that separates professional armies from political militias.
Watch it.
Share it.
Don’t look away.
Thanks to Trump this is what people from around the World think of the American people now & it’s really eye opening. We’re seen to the World as no better than Russia or China especially after the way we treated Canada & Greenland. They don’t understand why we’re not fighting.
Trump just hit Canada with 50% Tariffs.
Can I get a retweet from everyone who supports Canada.
Calling all Canadians to tell Trump to fuck off! 🇨🇦
Keep buying #Canadian! Stop traveling to America.
Lecturing and threatening Canada on managing nearly 1.3 billion acres of boreal forest when you can’t properly renovate a 2000ft long reflecting pool in your capital is peak MAGA.
Mr. President,
Wildfires do not recognize international borders. Smoke crosses borders just as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and pollution do. Canada has never blamed the United States for the smoke from California, Oregon, or Washington, just as we would not expect Americans to be blamed for hurricanes that cross into Canadian waters.
The reality is that Canada’s forests cover nearly 350 million hectares, roughly 9% of the world’s forests, much of it remote wilderness where fire has been a natural part of the ecosystem for thousands of years. No country on Earth has the capacity to remove every tree, every branch, or every piece of combustible material across landscapes of that scale.
Canada invests billions of dollars annually in wildfire prevention, forest management, firefighting, and emergency response. Thousands of Canadian firefighters, military personnel, Indigenous fire crews, and volunteers risk their lives every summer protecting communities, often alongside American firefighters under long-standing mutual aid agreements.
In return, Canada has repeatedly sent aircraft, personnel, and equipment to help fight devastating wildfires in the United States whenever called upon. That is what neighbours do.
Climate conditions, prolonged drought, lightning strikes, insect infestations, and extreme weather have all contributed to longer and more severe wildfire seasons across North America. This is a shared continental challenge, not a uniquely Canadian one.
Rather than assigning blame, Canada and the United States should continue strengthening cooperation on wildfire prevention, forest management, scientific research, firefighting capacity, and emergency preparedness.
Our two countries have always been strongest when we confront common challenges together, not when we look for someone to blame.
We thank you for your attention to this matter. Sir.
“US Senator had audacity to tell 🇨🇦 we’re supposed to be friends so we should start acting like it! I said if anyone threatened US you would go ballistic! We’re not putting your booze on shelves or buying your shit until you treat us with RESPECT!”

What did you expect, America?
What did you expect when your administration launched a trade war and hit our nation with completely unnecessary tariffs?
What did you expect from your once closest ally, the very nation that rushed to your side on 9/11?
Did you forget Operation Yellow Ribbon, when Canadians opened their homes to house and feed over 33,000 stranded passengers from 239 diverted American flights?
What did you expect when we bleedingly stood by you in Afghanistan, sacrificing Canadian soldiers and civilians in your longest war?
Did you think Canadians would just lie down when there was absolutely no recognition of our sovereignty?
What did you expect when the White House trolled us on social media, calling Canada a "51st state" and labeling a Prime Minister a "future governor"?
What did you expect our response would be?
And how your Fox media and MAGA supporters claim we need the U.S. for protection.
Let us be clear: Canada NEVER once asked you for protection. We are EQUAL partners sharing the sky through NORAD, yet you allow these lies to keep spinning.
What did you expect when your ambassador, Pete Hoekstra, chose to amplify the offensive "51st state" insult online, later dismissing it as just a "great discussion"?
What did you expect when your administration arrogantly declared they "don't need anything Canada has"?
So, what did you expect when we decided to fight back?
We did not break; we stood our ground....
What did you expect when we banned your goods from our shelves and began our pivot away from your nation to forge new, trustworthy partnerships globally and reaffirm our trustworthy NATO allies?
After many years of loyal alliance, it seems Canada did more for you than you ever did for us....
Now that Canada is moving forward without you, we leave you with one final question:
- What did you expect?

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
