I understand the sentiment, but he’s not some uniquely bad representative of the Trump administration. He’s exactly who they want representing them, and the more he runs his mouth the more Canada is reminded of where we stand with them.

I can’t wait to see if Poilievre goes after him for breaking ranks. The pro US wing of the party isn’t huge, but it isn’t small enough that they can alienate them completely.

I’m getting lots of ads for flights to Europe, it’s sounding like a great place for a vacation.

Exactly, if they’re well compensated the bribes have to be much bigger.

Way to show us what a reliable trading partner you are.

Wtf is he on about with banning hockey? That’s the weirdest part of the whole thing. This is the second time he brought it up.

Who the fuck is he to represent Canada? He’s not even in the governing party. I’d be curious if he has the blessing of the CPC leadership to do this.

Being friends with the slimiest guy in US politics is not a selling point.

Often it’s for preclearance. Go through customs in Canada and you can land at a domestic terminal in the US. Very convenient in normal times.

Can’t remember where I first saw this, but America isn’t the way it is because it Trump is president. Trump is president because of how America is. This isn’t a blip. If he had lost resoundingly I’d be willing to call it a blip.

The feeling is not mutual. Signed, a Canadian

My view is that if the city and province responded as they should have, it would have been excessive. They tried something similar in Toronto and the cops kept them from settling in. But the city was stun-fucked and Doug Ford fucked off to the cottage, so here we are.

So they’re going to invade and then what? Leave?

And the US spent much more than the Taliban. Who’s in charge in Afghanistan these days?

Well they’ll be busy fighting the Florida national guard so we should be ok 😇

I think by the time they get to us they’ll be spread so thin in Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, Cuba, etc… that they may not be able to mount enough of a force.

But who knows? It being a completely moronic idea never stopped Trump before.

Well if it rhymes it must be true! You’re gonna feel so embarrassed looking back at this phase when you’re all grown up.

Lol, give your balls a tug there buddy. Get off the internet and talk to some humans.

What a waste of resources. It won’t do what its supposed to do, it’ll cost us a bunch of money, and even the minister knows it’s a bullshit program.

All to keep a few votes in Montreal.

It is, they’re separate numbers. It’s just emblematic to me of how this is all about optics and not results.

$12 million and 25 guns collected. I knew this was going to be a giant waste of money, I didn’t know it was going to be this bad.

I wonder what the total cost per gun will end up being, considering they’ve been “implementing” this for five years. That’s a lot of consulant salaries.

Sure it will. We have to be a less appealing target than someone else. No one is saying we can go toe to toe with the US.

Best we can hope for is for them to pick a softer target and make a drawn out insurgency inevitable.
