According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they're related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they're being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they're going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

If they give in
lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. Canada literally exists because we didn't want to be part of the US. If you want Washington burned down a second time, keep at it.
Gotta go further south this time. Warching Mar-a-Lago burn will be fun.
I'm down, I know the area well. We can call it the March of the Snowbirds.
Turning North America into Canada, South Canada, and Mexico would be a nice sight
I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.
He says the US doesn't need Canada, we should do the same.

Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.
I genuinely thinks he also wants to annex canada though
If he makes Canada a state, he loses control of Congress.
He would never do that.

Fuck off. He is a senior Alzheimer patient.
I'm sure Ontario, Alberta, British Colombia ... will all be happy to lose their provincial legislatures for one State House. No local representation. All provincial systems of trade destroyed.
This is idiotic talk.
It's the talk of a hostile mobster nation. It resembles Putin's hostility towards Russia's neighbours.
Yeah, this is the same sort of unhinged "they're not a real country, they're like little children that need to be taken care of" bullshit that Putin's spewed about Ukraine over the years.
The thing that really concerns me is that it's not just Putin. The Russian population as a whole fell right in line with it. And so, too, I fear the American population might. They just don't understand the utter visceral rage Canadians are feeling about this treatment right now. They're treating this like yet another goofy dumb thing Trump is saying.
he has cocaine and adderall induced dementia. inability to control one bowels.
I would rather fucking die.
In case people don’t realize. Canada shares an Arctic border with Russia and Russia is trying to take Canadian land and regularly crosses into our waters to steal resources. It is of benefit to Putin for Canada to be weak and distracted by Trump, since Trump works for Putin, it’s very clear why he’s doing this

I just don't understand how he got caught on this thought? I'm no foreign policy wonk, but I just don't get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It's like a weird parody that I don't know enough about to understand.
Is he just Putining?

And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, rapist, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?
Edit: forgot rapist, so hard to remember everything he's so shitty

When the President of the United States says this shit, is it okay now to say - as a Canadian - that I wonder why more Americans aren't trying to kill him yet? Like, what the hell is going on? HE IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED.
I think it's just because people still have hope that the systems will work as usual and right the ship. I think a lot of people are waiting to see what happens with this administration's reaction to court orders, etc. But I think that we're going to start spawning radicalized reactionaries soon.

My pet conspiracy theory is that there's already been multiple attempts since Butler, but they aren't being publicized because they don't want to encourage others.
That wouldn't surprise me. I live in awe of he fact that he's not dodging bullets all day every day.
i agree. it's probably starting to get a bit hotter now that all those teslas are burning up. maybe they'll just start arresting protesters. Oh, they deport them now? Oh, they're terrorists now?
do americans even know what the words "terrorist" or "patriot" or "democracy" even mean any more?
We need to guarantee payment to whoever steps up, and make sure that their family is looked after for life.
The Luigi who saves us all will be hailed as a hero around the world for decades. World leaders would congratulate them for preventing countless needless deaths, and future dictators won't fuck around for very long before finding out.

I think they think it’s futile, since bullets didn’t work. But we have other means. Like remote controlled flying things.
