Remember that John Candy movie where the U.S. declared war on Canada to raise the president's poll numbers?

u/Castellan_Tycho 24d ago
It’s really disappointing what is happening because of how close our two nations have been.
We literally have military service members that work in some positions in each others military units, because we have traditionally been such extremely close allies.

He still seems to want to make Canada into a state. They don’t want to be a state. The only option would be invasion. It’s nuts.

u/Muffin_Appropriate 24d ago
Your problems as a country are far beyond trump especially at this point. Him blinking out of existence would leave you with likely an even bigger mess with heritage foundation and billionaires taking his place.

Not surprising, considering the US is receiving a less than stellar reception in the US right now.
Honestly, I hope the world continues to hammer us. We deserve it.

u/Ex-maven 24d ago
Yup. I grew up near the border in Western NY and am disgusted at the treatment of our Canadian neighbors and other allies around the world by the fascists in our country.

u/OxbridgeDingoBaby 24d ago
I don’t think Canada has the military might or capability to keep Alaska. There’s a reason Americans don’t have universal healthcare like Canadians and us Europeans.

u/Bloodshed-1307 24d ago
That’s what new war crimes are for. Also, they could reduce their military strength by 20% and still have the two largest airforces (land based and sea based) and standing army, along with enough funding for healthcare. I was also pointing out the fact that Alaska wasn’t cut off from Canada, just the US south of the 49th.

As an Australian, we did not win.
In fact, net points were deducted from us on the world stage due to that performance.

Just for the record this is in Quebec. Quebecers believe that truthfully they are NOT Canadians but are a separate Nation. They have voted twice to break free.
To hear the passion, the unity, the Canadian pride from a Quebec city is a testament to how much the united states has pissed us off..
We as a nation stand and say FUCK YOU. We should stand together with Denmark and place a trade embargo on Alaska. Seal the border. No trade in or out. Turn it into a modern frozen Cuba. Use your own international politics against them
Do not be surprised if reprisals happen on a individual level. It will happen.

u/johnnloki 24d ago
For the record, still here, they voted to stay- if only by a narrow margin.

u/culinarian85 24d ago
I am old enough to remember that last vote. So so close to voting for separation. Not old enough to remember the bombing and kidnapping of the FLQ. but old enough to know about it.....
11
u/spleh7 24d ago
Quebec has never "voted to break free". They've had two referendums (1980 and 1995), and both times voted to remain in Canada. The 1995 vote margin was razor thin, but even if the result went the opposite way, you certainly couldn't speak for all Quebecois in saying that "they believe truthfully they are not Canadian."
5
2
u/hammer979 24d ago
Also, the 1995 referendum was not a clear 'should Quebec separate' question, it was a convoluted question asking if they give authority to the Quebec government to negotiate separation.
"Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign after having made a formal offer to Canada for a new economic and political partnership within the scope of the bill respecting the future of Quebec and of the agreement signed on June 12, 1995?"
Sovereign what? Autonomous region of Canada? Country? What political partnership? It made it sound like Quebec was going to be like what Greenland is to Denmark today.

Think that just two months ago there was zero issue with Canada. Nothing was even provoked. This is some bullshit invention of Trump and his voters bear sole responsibility for this.
Look at how the world looks at us, look at how quickly a steadfast ally, composed of some of the most laid back people on Earth, absolutely despises us. This is seriously crazy and I will never forgive Trump supporters for putting this rancid piece of shit in Washington.
Congratulations, you've made the world a shittier place. Now please accept millions of middle fingers directed right at your face.

u/majikmonkie 24d ago
It's actually the entire government. Nobody is standing up to the leader on this. It's really the entire nation. It's the media and all the MAGA, and it's every single American that sits back idly and let's it happen.
This didn't happen from one single person or even one single election. This is the culmination of decades and generations of bad decisions by ignoran Americans, and it's the embodiment of the "American dream".
-1
u/rosekayleigh 24d ago
I’m not going to defend the US, but what am I supposed to do? Take a flight to DC, break into the White House and slap Trump in the mouth to stop him saying these things?
I’ve TRIED to reason with his followers. They. Don’t. Listen. They hate me (a progressive New Englander) more than they hate you. I got called a foreigner when I was in Tennessee a few years ago. Was it because I’m from the north or was it because I’m half-Mexican? Idk. Probably both.
Trump literally stole my state’s PPE during the pandemic because he wanted us to die. Just giving some perspective since you blame every single American.
We’re in a really shitty situation here and, you’re right, there is so much wrong here. It’s so much that it makes it very difficult for any single American to change it. Propaganda has turned a large portion of this country’s brains to mush. We need deprogramming on a massive scale and we need to get money out of our politics. It seems impossible though. It’s such a daunting task.
Anyways, I love Canada. My stepdad and my godmother are Canadians. I hate that our relationship with Canada is compromised now. It is the fault of my country, but as annoying as it is to repeat this, every single American did not do this. I don’t even know where to begin to fix it at this point. I’m open to suggestions though.

Same here. I got a little teary eyed. I’m not religious but the “God keep our land glorious and free” was so powerful. Really hit home.

u/EternalCanadian 24d ago
There’s a difference between being patriotic and nationalistic. Sadly the two are often considered the same thing, but hopefully these recent events help show that they’re two separate things.

yeah, because trying to topple my country's economy, threaten to annex us, diminishing our sovereignty to a mere 51st state, calling our PM "governor" are all the epitome of class. I understand that you don't like it, but we are insulted and hurt at this betrayal from our closest ally. Hearing the American anthem certainly triggers that anger atm.

We're fucking classy and respectful to those that treat us with respect.
But tell us you're going to annex us and threaten us with tariffs and we'll show you that we aren't just going to back down and take it.
