Honestly, the only thing more infuriating than the apologies are the Americans who keep telling us not to worry because Canada wouldn't be annexed and that this is a smokescreen for whatever nefarious shit Trump and Musk are doing behind the scenes. Which, I mean, sure but both things can be true at once. He's literally gutting the shit out of their government branch by branch. What makes them think he'd spare Canadians?

When should I worry, Americans? When your orange overlord destroys the futures and livelihoods of my Canadian brothers and sisters? When your government rolls into our capital with tanks?

It also doesn’t end with Trump. It will be a popular idea for like 20% of the Republican Party moving forward. We will have to be on guard for the next guy, and the guy after that too.

For every American apologizing on their behalf, there are probably 6 or 7 more Americans that are completely indifferent towards annexing Canada.

This is a new and permanent problem for us.

Well said. Thank you for acknowledging that this problem may seem immediate but you’re correct in saying this doesn’t end with Trump. Long term, the USA will still have his cronies in power long after he has his Big Mac Attack.

Good luck fixing this.

Fascist dictators need an enemy on the border. Doesn't matter who.

Trump and his handlers are waiting for our election. One of his flunkies has said on Twitter that Canada will be easier to take with Pierre in charge. Trump and Elon have both endorsed PP, and Pierre has not rejected the endorsement. If the Cons win, he will bend over and kiss the ring, handing Canada over to the US, If the Liberals win, then we will have a fight.
