Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest person on the planet, Donald Trump.

    I have never known a man who needed to get punched in the face worse than Donald Trump. I am not a violent man. I detest “online tough guys” who treat every situation as an excuse to advocate for violence. And I’m not saying I endorse a bullet or a guillotine or something like that. I’m not even saying I’d punch him.

    But this man has clearly never been punched in his shit-talking mouth, and if someone had done it 40 or 50 years ago, we wouldn’t be here now.

      Honestly, my greatest wish for Trump and Musk? That they have all their wealth and contacts stripped from them, and they either spend the rest of their lives in a blue collar prison, or homeless on the street without a single soul willing to help them… I’ll settle for the guillotine though.

    You’ve managed to piss off the country whose reputation is that they apologize for everything. Stupid idiot.

        I mean, yeah, every plot of land was “stolen” from another group throughout history. Even going back to before Homo sapiens, and most certainly between indigenous tribes.

        Fortunately, Canada has acknowledged our history, and has been in the position to give back and support our first nations throughout the years.

        More work needs to be done, for sure, but this doesn’t diminish Canada in any way.

          This colonizer horse shit ignores the fact that the people you stole the land from are still here. Where’s the repairations?

            Yeah, so I have relatives with first nation blood, so I won’t own your toxic comment.

            Where’s the repairations?

            Without knowing what you consider to be important, the Government of Canada has helped to fund quite a few projects to help our indigenous people: Healthcare, infrastructure, social assistance, clean water, trade, business and economic growth within their communities, etc.

            Hundreds of millions are spent each year to ensure that we do what’s right.

            We’ve settled land claims (with more to come), and have worked to protect first nation culture and languages.

            There’s always more to be done, and as I mentioned, Canada acknowledges that this is still a work in progress.

        Yes, and so is the USA. Canada needs to work on its own problems, not be annexed by another country with similar problems.

    Good.

    Let him stick to that line, keeping Canadians angry and trade negotiations stalled. He’s helping us maintain the momentum needed to build a stronger Canada and end reliance on U.S. trade for good. When he and his ilk are all eventually deposed, the U.S. will have to make many concessions to get (partially) back into our good graces. If that doesn’t happen, our need for political separation will only increase.

    No deal is the best deal.

    He’s not dumb. He’s cancer. He’s aggressive. And he intends on metastasizing to the entire world. Strongmen only respect strength. We need to show him how nasty we can be. Watch what he does with targets he perceives as weaker than us (if there are any). If he goes after Panama first, or Greenland, you can be certain that we are next.

    This is not empty rhetoric folks. I’ve been saying it since before the election and I’m going to keep saying it, he’s actually coming for us. His first term was full of empty threats. This one hasn’t been. He has followed through, and he will follow through. He will continue to bully us and come at us sideways for awhile, take what he can by hook or by crook, but eventually he will get impatient and greedy. He is coming. Prepare to be another Ukraine, another Afghanistan. The latter is a tiny, technologically backwards nation that is called the “Graveyard of empires” for good reason. We can be that, and we will need to be that. I say this to reassure you that it is absolutely possible to defend our sovereignty against a much larger aggressor. This is anything but a lost cause, but we need to take it very seriously, because he is deadly serious.

      SCOTUS declaring full immunity for anything done as an official presidential act is probably why this term feels less hollow; last time around he had to be careful not to end up in prison, this time he has nothing to fear.

      Someone tell Doug Ford that capitulating to Trump is not going to pay off. He seems to be moving from big talk of resistance to total submission.

        Yeah, I’m curious what changed. Did he get a payout to sell out his province and country? Was he blackmailed? Or was he just bluffing and America called him on it?

      Cancer is very dumb, by any metric I can possibly imagine:

      • it literally lacks any mechanism for intellect/processing information
      • it is a random mutation that renders affected cells dysfunctional
      • it has no mechanism to spread to another host, yet still kills the host it has
      • it has four different ways that it might just kill itself

      This only makes the metaphor all the more apt. Intelligent foes are far less dangerous. You have to be exceedingly dumb to choose mutually assured destruction.

    “I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada,” Trump said.

    I’ll take that as a complement from you. Thanks!

      Yeah. Tells me our government is working.

      If he stops being adversarial on every situation and threatening us then we’ll be friendly, like we are with every other country.

      Not if Stormy Daniels is to be believed (I see no reason to not believe her). She went on a late show and showed the mushroom closest to Donalds appendage
