We are about to have 35% tariffs applied to our resource-based economy, with the explicit message that the goal is to destroy our economy. Words matter when they come from your head of state, and the "30 seconds ago" excuse gets old 6 months in. If you think that Trump, having already deployed the US military on US soil against US citizens, would hesitate to send troops into Canada if he thought he could get away with it, you're utterly delusional. He's a psychopathic mad-king, and you apparently are delighted to fiddle while he burns down Rome.

You don't threaten to invade sovereign nations and then brush it off with "oh, ya know, Trump being Trump", especially when Trump being Trump already includes crossing all sorts of lines nobody thought he would cross.

It's clear you would happily murder any Canadian or Dane you were ordered to, as long as you were given the order by Trump. I'm done responding, you're the enemy of my country and my family.

And Canada is entirely without blame for deciding to enrage an idiot.

It's clear here would enforce tariffs he made it clear he would and did it to China and certain countries that decided to not engage.

Let me guess the EU is now evil because they engaged? This is as much Canada's fault as trump is (mis-)using American influence.

If you decide to double down and pretend he won't do it off course he's going to do it. If Canada had engaged rather than pretending he's all bluff they'd be in the same situation as Mexico. Besides after the damage that guy did to the UK economy you're welcome to him you voted him in. He's short cited and focused more on posturing and keeping those close to him happy than fixing anything. At least you can't accuse trump of just keeping people happy. If that were true musk wouldn't still be acting salty. (Obviously the works richest man still has influence but that's different to being invited into the oval office regularly)
