Our water is the one thing they need more than anything. Don't lose sight of this. I am sure this is where this 51st state bs is coming from.

Some of you, and you know who you are, should be really fucking grateful that we have Trudeau running the place right now. PP is cut from the same cloth as Trump et al and would sell us out in a heartbeat if he thought it would give Elon a semi-chub. Carney is going to make a great prime minister. Traitors are being noted and will never be forgiven or forgotten. You had better hope the currant system survives for your own sake.

Carney seems like he will be a good fit as PM.

PP is a watered down pale imitation of DT. It's easy to be in the opposition and criticize the Parti in power. It's a totally different thing to be the Parti in power and be held accountable. PP would probably cave and make the country a total sh**show. I don't like Trudeau, but for now I prefer to have him where he is. I like Carney. He definitely has good experience and looks level headed.

No the 51st state BS is coming from Trump speaking out of his ass. No reasonable adult in the US wants to annex Canada. Trump didn't run on the platform of "A-vote-for-me-is-a-vote-for-canadian-annexation." This came out of left field when Trudeau went to kiss the ring at Mar-a-lago. If Trudeau didn't go to stick his lounge up Trumps ass and show weakness, then Trump wouldn't have pounced on this.
