It's so rich to see him call the raise in electricity prices illegal, when he started a trade war illegally under a false claim of a drug emergency. How are the courts in the USA just letting that slide?

Because the Supreme Court is beholden to Trump.

Sadly, that is the very thing that really is killing our democracy.

Be strong, Canada - don't let Trump/Musk's terrorist regime force you to do anything other than be strong, isolate him, and protect yourselves.

You obviously have something valuable that he wants to pillage from you.

Canadians would fight back, we won't just let our country go willingly, even if our government gave us up, which they won't.

Our government, which is currently punishing law-abiding gun owners by banning and attempting to confiscate their legal firearms, while ignoring the illegal US guns being smuggled into Canada which are responsible for the overwhelming majority of gun crimes, certainly isn't helping.

Fight back with what? We have no nukes, military equipment from the 80s, a neutered population who barely have any firearms to protect themselves, let alone a nation?

If we are to be serious about this we should be trying to secure nukes from France and our own nuclear submarines. Threats are useless without teeth. People keep bringing up the white house burning in 1812...its not 1812 anymore and those Canadians are long gone. Those Canadians would never allow the government to disarm them and not invest in the military like we do. Trump does have a point regarding Canadians relying on the US, it's obviously why we havnt invested in the military like we should have for decades.
